This week on Relationships 2.0 my guest is Robert James author of Next: The Search for My Last First Date. About the book: Bob's book is a chronicle of his dating adventures as a "normal" middle-aged man living in Florida. Here is Bob's description of his situation following his divorce: In my forties, with a few extra pounds, I had concerns—I hadn’t dated in well over twenty years. Could I get the mojo back? Were all the good girls already taken? Holy crap! What was I going to do? I had to get back into shape! If I did find women who had potential, would they find me interesting? Attractive? Sexy? I’m a pretty confident guy, have a good job, know lots of people. But what did I know about women and dating? I thought about dating the same way I did in college. But I was going to soon find out things had changed—a lot. Where was I supposed to start? Bob found himself navigating a new (for him) online dating world. Besides the few time he was fixed up by well-meaning friends, he had no shortage of first dates from Match.com. His book chronicles, in short form, his experiences--funny, sad, cringe-worthy, crazy, and alarming. Tune in and find out his current relationship status! About the author: "Robert James is a lifelong resident of Florida, and is a businessman who loves wine, cooking, travel and enjoying outdoor activities.
