Bought from a thrift store, I read it & I really like it--I even use it as a reference once in a while. It's a book I can relate to as a single-never-married (& not currently in a relationship).
After reading it, I came up w/ some updated questions, as this was written in the late-1980s (at least the edition of the book I read was originally published in 1988):
What about online dating?
What if my parents want me to date, but I don't want to?
At what age is one supposed to have lost their virginity (or is it ok to be a 40-year-old+ virgin)? What about single-parent adoptions?
What about single-parent cryobank issues (sperm banks, egg banks, etc)?
