Jennifer Bawden has written a single woman's guide, Get a Life, Then Get a Man ($12.95, A Plume Book, Penguin Putnam softcover). Jennifer says the rules of dating have changed and waiting around for Prince Charming should be replaced first with enjoying being single, focusing on your goals to unleash your confidence in yourself. Then she says, don't wait, make the first move yourself if you find a man or men who interest you. She offers advice on things women do to turn off men as well as tips to spot the losers. A successful New York fashion designer, she lives what she writes. Being pursued by her (to review her book) is a real trip! It was worth it and if you're single, you will agree.
