Fleisher’s book covers all the pertinent areas of re-entering the dating game. The book is also nicely broken up into logical sections each dedicated to a specific challenge faced in today’s dating arena. There are nine (9) sections with interesting titles like, “The How To of Internet Dating, Sex and Dating, Who is Left for You to Date, There’s a first for Everything, Dating, Disease, and Infirmity, and Dating Behaviors." That is a short list of topics covered in Dating Again. Fleisher sprinkles a lot of humor throughout the book to make it more fun to read. There are a lot of scenarios that I’m sure most all of us have faced or will face. Dating can be a minefield for the newly single man or woman.

It is a book to help you face your fears and set you on the right path in finding that special person in your life. Fleisher adds a lot of examples of what he is talking about, and many of the examples are hilarious. In one chapter he offers sample internet profiles to use as guides of what NOT to say in yours and who to avoid in your quest for your perfect mate. A statement from the guy’s profile reads, “I watch a lot of TV after hours of watching porn, the latter being my preference.” An entry from the lady’s profile reads, “My champagne glass is always mostly full, and I’m working on that issue at AA.” Those are certainly statements that should provide a clue that those two have issues to be resolved before they can maintain any serious relationship. The subject matter covers just about everything relative to dating; there is even a chapter on “Astroglide, KY, Viagra… Oh My” and another on “Sexual Injuries.” There is a chapter on “Dating the Dysfunctional,” and one on “The Magic of Dating.” There’s stuff here you won’t find in any other dating book.
