A Little Help From Our Friends

In the world of dating, the less gifted of us should use all the resources available to us to make the process a little less painful.  And realistically, dating shouldn't be like going to the dentist. It should be like going to the spa (with an equal amount of hands on skin!)

The internet itself is chock full of dating advice. Not to say that it's all good or relevant to you but there is a lot out there. Don't be alarmed or overwhelmed. I'll help you wade through the bad sites and send you on your way to Dating Bliss.

First and foremost, one of my favorite life/relationship advice websites belongs to someone who I believe I have mentioned before - and hell, if I haven't, I apologize for .  This masterful linguist is none other than the esteemed Mark Manson.  He has over 2 million monthly subscribers, writes about life, relationships, travelling, and basically he just lays it all out and guides you down a path to enlightenment (okay, maybe not quite that far, but it's pretty damn close.) My ALL time favorite article of his, which I would say changed my perspective on relationships, is one called Fuck Yes or No.  If you are ever debating about whether or not you want to continue dating someone, or you can't decide whether or not you want to eat that second donut .. Refer to this article!! It's a godsend. I have referred it to a countless number of people and it still blows my mind how such a BASIC concept could make such an impact on so many facets of your life. READ IT.

Secondly! There is a book coming out in a couple of weeks by a writer by the name of George Reagan called Masterdate: the handy guide to internet dating for guys. He writes about his struggles with dating after being divorced and has a bounty of information pertaining to getting out of the dating rut and how to, instead, valiantly succeed.  His new book comes out on December 1st and I recommend giving it a read! You can view a preview of his book to see what you think. I think it will be worth the read if you are looking for some stories and advice you can really relate to. (Follow him on Twitter: @masterdate48 ).

Maybe you should think about taking his advice about finally parting with those few wisps of hair left and really embracing the bald. On behalf of everyone who made the leap, they salute you.
