Caroline Doughty
 
The average age of divorce is now 43 years for men and 41 for women, meaning there are thousands of people in their forties coming back onto the singles scene every year – over 300,000 in the UK in 2005. This is a fun, irreverent but helpful and practical guide for people playing the dating game over the age of 40. They could be divorced, widowed or simply still looking for their Mr or Ms Right – but whatever their situation the dating game has changed and there are now more gimmicks than ever to help people find their soulmate. But do they really work? And how does it feel to go on a blind date when you’re past the first flush of youth? This book investigates all the tricks of the trade and tells you from people who know how it really feels to be out there.
