Okay, cherubs, you probably think you've just had the date from hell and are certain that Satan's matchmaking service is working overtime to keep you supplied with folks whose only real purpose in life is to lay waste to your soul. But not to worry! Dr. Joy Browne, America's favorite radio psychologist and the author of Dating for Dummies and Getting Unstuck, is coming to the rescue. In her newest foray into the world of strange and wonderful relationships, she shares honest-to-goodness real-life people and situations that will either make you feel right at home or make your own misery seem trivial by comparison. And she also gives you options for either continuing to strive for true heartbreak or opting for slightly more sanity ... should you so desire. Dr. Joy starts off with personal ads too frightening to be true (but they are), takes you along on doomed first dates-into the hearts, closets, and messy bathrooms of determined singles everywhere-and gives you ten, count 'em ten, surefire ways to doom any date. She then looks into the future to toxic dating and beyond. The choice is yours: dating disasters ... or how to avoid 'em. Book jacket.
