500 Dates

Now several years post-divorce, relationship expert and humorist Mark Miller has experienced more than five hundred first dates. In "500 Dates," composed of fifty-five humor essays, Miller features the highlights and lowlights of those dates. But 500 Dates is about much more than dating. Its humor essays also cover romance, relationships, breakups, attraction, the nature of love, and how both men and women view the art, science, expectations, and reality of courtship and turning courtship into something deeper and longer lasting in the twenty-first century. Throughout these essays, a portion of which were previously published in various media, Miller provides a sense of hope about one's romantic prospects. Readers will find that the end of a marriage, even a long-term one, does not mean the end of romance—or one's sense of humor.
