Relationship advice expert Deborrah Cooper, better known by the pen
name "Ms. HeartBeat", presents Sucka Free Love!: How to Avoid
Dating The Dumb, The Deceitful, The Dastardly, The Dysfunctional and The
Deranged, a casual, tell-it-like-it-is advice for dating and
relationships in the modern world. Sucka Free Love! is expressly for
male as well as female readers--men can be suckas in the dating world
too! Chapters begin with an overview of common misperceptions and
problems that can affect one's dating life (such as taking
first-date lines like "I'll call you" too literally,
being too giving/having low self-esteem, being too selfish/disrespecting
the other person, or simply getting involved with a person in the wrong
stage of their life--say, when they're in the middle of a messy
divorce). The bulk of Sucka Free Love consists of "Dear Ms.
HeartBeat" letters and her replies, though. Enthusiastically
recommended, and a solid, fun and easy-to-read primer for anyone ready
to enter the Dating Zone. "Dear Ms. HeartBeat: How do I ask a woman
out on a date? Plus, once there what can I say to her if I want to get
involved with her? -Male, 19, Scared. Dear Scared: You open that big
mouth and say: 'Hey, I'd love to take you out to--(fill in
blank) this weekend. Are you available?' If it goes well, you like
her and she likes you, and you want to get involved a bit more, then you
ask her out again. You keep asking her out and spending time with her
until you figure out if she is someone you want to keep around or not. I
don't know why you are trying to make this so difficult!"
