Description
This book provides a roadmap—based on interviews with women who have been there—on how to transition from a relationship that did not work to one that is a joyous, loving, and intimate experience with a new partner.
An intimate relationship between a man and woman ends—then comes the uncertainty and emotional fallout. But when is the time right to start a new relationship? How do women make good choices about men as they transition between closing out a failed relationship and become open to the possibilities of a new one?
Finding a partner and maintaining a relationship are important emotional issues for most women—issues that become even more complicated in the aftermath of a love that ends. When I Fall in Love Again: New Study on Finding and Keeping the Love of Your Life helps women in this situation navigate the tricky terrain between breaking up and starting over in a practical, empathetic, and forthright way.
When I Fall in Love Again is filled with candid insights and advice about sex, dating, expectations, and life with, without, and in between partners. It is based on an unprecedented Internet survey of over 400 women answering specific questions about their experiences, plus 70 in-depth personal interviews—60 women, 10 men—conducted by coauthor Jane Merrill. What these people have to say will give guidance and hope to women facing similar situations. The book also includes 10 self tests and 12 relationship tests to help women assess themselves on a range of personal and interpersonal issues.
Testimonials
"For any woman who has suffered disappointment, heartache, or self-doubt, this book is a must-read. It offers factual and practical help. More importantly, it is hopeful, exhilarating, and life-affirming. I wish someone had put this book in my hands when I was 20!"
-Mary Balogh, best-selling author of Seducing an Angel and At Last Comes Love
"This book provides an honest look at the dating dance in American society. As a woman and scholar, I see myself, my friends, and my students in its pages. Not only is it affirmation that we all have the same story (with different characters at different times) and are 'normal' in our experiences, it is also a wonderful real life illustration of socialization, sexuality and gender differences and how they play out as we experience the joys and frustrations of finding a partner. Empirical research woven with womens' quotes, both tragic and humorous, provide a stimulating context with which to discuss the realities and complexities of today’s complex relationships."
-Tracie E. Gardner, sociologist, California State University, Northridge
