Progressing from the first flirtatious moment of eye contact to the selection of a "mate," this enlightening book offers playful philosophical explorations of the dating game for anyone who has dated, is dating, or intends to date again.
* Offers amusing and enlightening philosophical insights into the dating game
* Helps demystify coupling in the 21st century for those young daters just entering the fray, and those veterans returning to the game

* Opens with Carrie Jenkins' ground-breaking essay, The Philosophy of Flirting, first published in The Philosopher's Magazine
