Summary: LIFE MORE EXCITING AFTER 50!
Comment: Thanks to this book and others like it, I am having the time of my life after turning 50! I admit I was apprehensive about dating again after my divorce, but this book smooth the way for me and countless others. I used the tips, techniques and suggestions, and went online to find a hot guy. I wasn't looking for a guy my age. I was looking for one at least 10 years younger, and am I glad I did. He is virile, intelligent and appreciates me. What more could you ask for? I would never have been brave enough to go for what I really wanted if it hadn't been for this book, and most especially Baby Boomer Bachelorette: How to Have Sex at Least Once More Before You Die. In this book, the author says that younger women can have the guys our age. We older women prefer the younger ones anyway. Buy both these books and you will be well on your way to changing your life!

Summary: Good information, easy read, encouraging
Comment: I wish I had read this book first, because it offers so much practical advice for our age group. Especially good is the review of different personal profiles with good tips for writing your own. Every step of building a relationship is addressed with straight forward suggestions to think about, from getting ready to breaking up.

Summary: Excellent resource for the older adults seeking love
Comment: I simply do not understand the two previous reviews. This book is a gem for its sensible advice, its humor, its destruction of the negative myths surrounding later life love. It's full of good do's and don'ts and as far as suggesting that one keep a notebook of one's online activity, it's a great idea. I have seen friends get overwhelmed with the responses online and they needed help remembering and sorting out who sent what and what that person was like.

Excellent advice about first dates, too---even giving scripts for ending the date if it is obvious that there is no match.

Dr. Romm offers the valuable double perspective of someone who has been dating online herself and of a professional who is not only a psychiatrist but also sees clients who are wrestling with these issues.

I am giving this book to some friends who are afraid to try to find a match online. They will be in good hands.

Summary: The dating is in the details
Comment: You're a smart, accomplished, mature adult with a lot to offer. You're professionally competent and confident. But does the idea of launching a romantic voyage of discovery just feel too overwhelming, confusing and potentially embarrassing? If so, read this book for an even-handed exploration of the modern possibilities for meeting new partners and friends. It's hard for sophisticated adults to subject themselves to the uncertainties of looking for love and Ms Romm uses matter-of-fact examples and her own experience to lower the anxiety threshold and explore the options, step-by-step. Most current dating books focus on the internet as the most efficient way to connect with appropriate new partners and this one does, too. The author details her own experiences and provides lots of practical advice from how to word your descriptions, to where and how to meet, topics to steer clear of, red flags, guidelines and positive reinforcement. And she even gives you some help with how to kindly phrase and deliver a graceful exit speech too, which let's face it you're going to have to manage at some point unless you marry the first person you meet.
