Liz Talley, 29, knows how to close a deal. A powerful executive at a large New York firm, she lands multimillion-dollar contracts every week, winning clients over with her wit and confidence. But though she’s used to getting what she wants in the office, her assertiveness hasn’t translated to her love life. I’m in a rut, Liz sighs. After breaking up with her last boyfriend almost two years ago, she hasn’t dated much, and hasn’t been impressed with the dates she’s been on. “I don’t really put myself out there. When I walk around the city, I’m in my own world. Even when my girlfriends and I go out at night, I don’t talk to men; we just get a bottle of wine and chat among ourselves.
The decidedly single woman has become a clich in the new millennium. Bridget Jones and Sex and the City have achieved cult status, chick-lit books fly off store shelves and women everywhere wonder, “Where are all the men?” Believe it or not, smart, funny, amazing single men do exist. The difference today is that our lifestyles force us to find them ourselves. Our parents and grandparents fell in love over Coke floats and football games, but now many women seek to establish independence and launch careers before settling down. If we don’t meet The One in high school or college, many of us wake up in our late 20s and 30s with a topnotch career, fabulous friends, a nice home – but no mate in sight.
Tired of waiting around for that elusive knight in shining armor, we set out to find a fresh set of rules that would allow us to take our dating lives into our own hands. We enlisted premier dating expert David Wygant to teach us a new approach for meeting men. He flew from Los Angeles to New York City to take Liz on his innovative Three-Day Dating Challenge, for which grateful clients typically shell out a whopping $10,000. David promises his course will change the way you think about dating, improve your confidence and help you date people of a higher quality than ever before.
