“Middle Aged and Dating Again. Tom’s first book, “Middle Aged and Dating Again,” describes Tom’s first year of dating after his wife of seven years cleaned out the house on Xmas Eve and moved out of his life. The book is based on one year of newspaper columns describing being single again at age 53. Tom’s says, “Normally, married couples would discuss an event of this magnitude beforehand, but I had been left out of the loop. She left but failed to tell me she was leaving.”

 

In this book, Tom describes the blind dates, good dates, bad dates, getting stood up, rejected and dumped, spending too much money on dating, not getting enough sleep drinking too much red wine and eating far too much pasta.  He describes the secrets and humorous insights of dating from the man’s point of view.
