The smoke has cleared and laying in the rubble are the carcasses of Valentine's Days past. The relationships that blew up in the face of unmet expectations and lousy gifts lay strewn across the landscape of love. To all the single ladies -- chin up! Spring is around the corner, and that means it's time for 'Menu Dating!'

Tristan Coopersmith and Todd Johnson want to teach you how to Menu Date, 'the practice of dating in small bites, with great abundance, great purpose, and great variety...It is about tasting all that 'like' and 'love' have to offer in an effort to make a solid life-partner decision, rooted in meaningful experiences and subsequent confidence." The menu dating program demands that you date as many men as possible for the practical purpose of learning exactly who will fit perfectly. Likening the experience to trying on a pair of jeans, guys come in different sizes and styles, and what fits one woman may not fit another, so how can you possibly know what is right for you if you don't try them all on? Labeling the opposite sex as mandidates, you no longer approach each new date with the idea that they are the 'one', but rather see them as an opportunity to experience an interesting and new individual who will teach you something new about yourself and about men. In 'Menu Dating' you learn how to scout in every location possible and are taught the skills to attract and approach the cornucopia of men available. You also learn the different mandidate types that you should avoid and the pros and cons of dating them:'The Married Man'
Pros: Forbidden romance can be very steamy; you don't have to be concerned that he may fall for you and want a relationship with you, if you don't want one.
Cons: You will always play second string to his wife; you will be referred to as a 'business associate' to his wife via phone; you will constantly be canceled on; you are 'the other woman'- and other women will hate you for it; you will spend holidays alone for certain.
What you will learn: You don't want to share in that way; no matter how much he charms you, he will never leave his wife for you.
How to get over him: Convince yourself that he is impotent and would have an affair on you, too.

'Menu Dating' will teach you where to find a mandidate, how to break the ice, dress to impress (sassy not slutty), keep your cool, examine each date (not overanalyze), have a one-night stand the right way (if that is what you want), master the booty call, taste test numerous pairs of men, and finally teach you how to pick 'Mr. right, the One, a Keeper, your Forever guy....the Main Course!"
If you are single, I recommend that you run out and grab a copy and get yourself ready for the season of your life. Welcome to spring, 'Menu Dating' ($11.59, amazon.com)!
