Secrets to Date By by Jula Jane

From the Publisher

In this fun, insightful new book, dating columnist Jula Jane talks straight from the heart as she shares her secrets for a rewarding, exciting dating life.
Conventional wisdom holds that a good man is hard to find and that a good relationship
is as mythical as the holy grail. Many individuals also believe that dating has a single purpose-
to get married. Here's the good news, according to Jane: Women do not need to settle for a good man-there are great men just dying to be captivated by a fabulous woman.
But first, you have to be able to pick him out of a crowd. Your "great man" might be standing right before your very eyes, but if you haven't identified exactly what you want in a man, you might have a difficult time recognizing him. Furthermore, it's imperative that you have worked on yourself, so that you are living up to the very standards you are expecting from him. Jane also raises this very revolutionary idea: Dating in and of itself can be thrilling and fulfilling without the end goal of walking down the aisle in a poufy white dress.
Unfortunately, few women possess the skills necessary for dating men. This all too important subject is just not part of the high school curriculum. Thankfully, Jane, who graduated magna cum laude from the university of love and relationships, is here to show you the way:
Jane carefully identifies 14 key secrets that guarantee a productive dating life. Using her vast knowledge, culled over the years from both personal experience and lessons learned by her devoted column readers, you will

• Identify the kind of man you want
• Become your best self
• Map out a love plan
• Matriculate from flirt boot camp
• Improve your love-making techniques
• Meet the kind of men you desire and deserve

Secrets to Date By takes you through the dating process step-by-step. Jane is that caring, loving sister-friend who's either seen it all or done it all-and wants to help you avoid the pain and sidestep the pitfalls she has already encountered. At times, Jane is frank and commanding, but she's also extremely supportive and compassionate in her tone. You'll come to trust her judgment and advice-and to thank her for sharing such glistening pearls of wisdom with you.
Most importantly, instead of dreading the mysterious ritual that has become dating, you'll
delight in having to rearrange your schedule to accommodate all the new men in your life!
In the end, you'll have Jula Jane-and your courage, tenacity and faith in your own fabulousness-to thank.
