A Great First Date: The Guide to this Postmodern Love
Dating is nothing like it once was. Online dating, once an oddity, is commonplace and the new cutting edge is social media, smartphone apps, and even texting.
Things that you never dreamed possible - like meeting someone via a phone in your back pocket - is now the new normal. Who knows what's next?
But while it's easier than ever to meet people, it's just as hard as ever, if not harder, to connect with them. And that first date is the first opportunity to make that connection. Sometimes it's the last.
The most common advice given for a first date is to "just be yourself." But it's never so easy, is it? Not only that, it's not even enough to be your self. You have to be your best self.
That's what A Great First Date is about - it's a book that shows you how to present the best and truest version of yourself, right off the bat. And the dating advice given isn't from movies, television, or imagined scenarios of what a first date should be like, instead, it's from recent real world experience.
The world is different but the need to connect is the same. A Great First Date is about making that connection happen, starting with just that, a great first date.

About the author
Logan Lo
4 books6 followersDon't know why people always write about themselves in third person - "Logan is a native New Yorker and lives with his wife and a plant named Harold." Yet they do.
The truth is that I actually am a native New Yorker and I do live with my wife and a plant named Harold. And professionally, I'm an intellectual property attorney and a commercial real estate appraiser.
But there's this saying that we are what we constantly do. If that's the case, first and foremost, I'm a collector and teller of stories. The technology of expression and consumption may change, but in the end, it's still the basic need to tell and be told a good story.
So, let me tell you one...

I've been a reader of Logan's since the old LJ days and have read most of his other works. Unlike his crime drama book - which I enjoyed but really is nothing like his usual style of writing - this one is just like his blog but in condensed form. Pick up a copy, even if you’re not single. I’m actively dating and have used some of his advice already.
