Wise Readers,
Happy birthday to us! LoveScience was launched on Valentine’s week five years ago. Some of you have been with me since Day 1; others have joined more recently. To all, I thank you for loving love, and how science can help us with it, as much as I do.
I have more news, though. I’m pregnant.
Well, not physically. But I’m partway through an act of creation for sure. A book is in the works at long last! And like a baby, this one is due in about 9 months. Unlike LoveScience, this book lays it all out there.
See, for an embarrassingly long time, my career went wonderfully and my dating life…didn’t. The book reveals the good, the bad, and the ugly of that era/epoch/seeming eternity. More important, it details The Moment: the epiphany that transformed the way I lived my love life, and led me to verifiable, objective answers to all my questions.
Questions like:
*Is finding love just luck? Is love worth it anyway—does it really make people happy?
*Why are the guys I’m not into, into me, and the guys I’m into, aren’t? Am I doing something to attract men I don’t want and repel men I passionately desire?
*Am I asking for too much—being too unrealistic in my standards? Or are my standards too low?
*Where are the best places to meet Mr. Right? Or will he show up if I just stop looking?
*How can I find out what I need to know about someone before getting too involved?
*How long should I keep dating around?
*How soon is too soon for sex?
*If I have to dump someone, what’s the one phrase that will make breaking up not quite so hard to do?
*If I’m the dump-ee, how can I heal my own broken heart?
*How can I get a stagnating relationship to move off dead-center and towards commitment?
*What is the meaning of Life?
Okay, the last one is beyond the scope of the book. But The Moment really did lead to answers to the other ones.
And that, LoveScience and Wise Readers, is what the book is all about: 10 steps to take you from I Wish to I Do.
If you or someone you know is Single & Looking, I’ll be looking out for you. Thanks for celebrating this new-baby step with me.
Cheers,
Duana
