New Book: Back on the Horse After Breakup or Divorce by Kim Hess

Post date: 27 July 2010

“I’m newly single after a breakup/divorce and am terrified at the thought of dating again! I never dreamed I would be back on the dating scene and don’t know where to start. Help!” – Jane Doe

Getting back into the dating world is a pretty tall order after being out of it for years. Things have changed! Your feelings have changed, your needs have changed. Suddenly you are back out there after you felt secure that you would never have to deal with dating again! But here you are, back in the game, back in the dating world without a clue.

Enter Kim and Mike! We are here to launch you back into the dating world with confidence and direction! We are both dating gurus that are here to guide you in your journey to find the perfect man!

A heartfelt message from Kim

I was madly in love with my husband for 12 years and never in a million years thought that we would end up going through a bitter divorce. I was scared, lonely, angry, and had no idea what to do next. I blindly stepped into the dating world and failed miserably. My friends and family kept telling me it would get better but it got worse with time! I thought being pretty, intelligent, nice, and well dressed was enough. It wasn’t, I tried therapy, coaching, and dating books but nothing worked for me. Until I met Mike the Master Dater…

How a Master Dater changed my dating life!

Mike was a guest on my radio show “Divorce Guru.” The topic was how to date successfully after a divorce. Instead of interviewing Mike for the benefit of my world wide listeners I dropped my professional radio host hat and started asking Mike what the heck I was doing wrong in my dating life!

Someone to answer your dating questions…

After we were off-air Mike told me I could call him anytime with any dating questions. I said thank you impressed that he was willing to help, but not wanting to be a bother, until…

I went on a seemingly great date never to get called back
A cute guy suggested sex right away
A “friend” kept sending me filthy text messages
I asked a guy out and it failed miserably…
The guy went dutch on the bill and pulled out a calculator!
My online profile kept attracting FREAKS!
I kept meeting married men that wanted to sleep with me.
Mike was always there for me and now WE want to return the favor to you.

Men do NOT think like women…

Mike responded to all of my “newly broken up” and “newly dating again” questions with answers that I would never have guessed! But Mike is a man (a straight man) and was telling me exactly what the men I went on dates with were thinking…and not thinking! I really had no idea what was going on initially and without Mike’s help I would have never made it so far, so fast.

Everyone needs a guide to lead the way…

I told Mike “I wish all my girlfriends, listeners and readers, had someone like you to guide them and give them the lowdown on what they should and shouldn’t do when it comes to dating and men.” Mike replied, “Why don’t we write a book?” 126 pages and 50,000 words later, the guide was born!

You probably assumed you would be with this one man forever, only to find that “happily ever after” usually doesn’t mean forever

Confused and stressed…

Many women that have come out of long term commitments are usually confused, under stress, and lonely, which can lead to bitterness and low self-esteem. A HUGE turn off to wonderful, loving potential men who want to fall in love with you!

What do you mean, I have to date again!?

No one makes a long term commitment to the man they love thinking one day it will lead to going your separate ways and looking for love again. But it happens. A lot.

Get back in the game ladies, but this time do it RIGHT!
