James is in a constant search to find instant love. Again and again, he hurries to tell his best friend all about his new love, and again and again, his best friend is there to pick up the pieces when the man of his dreams breaks his heart. Trying to convince James that love takes time is exhausting, but his best friend goes along with James in his ridiculous schemes to find Mr. Right.

An eye-opening, funny, painful, and always truthful in-depth examination of modern relationships, and a wake-up call for single women about getting real about Mr. Right, from the New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone. You have a fulfilling job, great friends, and the perfect apartment. So what if you haven’t found “The One” just yet. He’ll come along someday, right? But what if he doesn’t? Or what if Mr. Right had been, well, Mr. Right in Front of You—but you passed him by? Nearing forty and still single, journalist Lori Gottlieb started to wonder: What makes for lasting romantic fulfillment, and are we looking for those qualities when we’re dating? Are we too picky about trivial things that don’t matter, and not picky enough about the often overlooked things that do? In Marry Him, Gottlieb explores an all-too-common dilemma—how to reconcile the desire for a happy marriage with a list of must-haves and deal-breakers so long and complicated that many great guys get misguidedly eliminated. On a quest to find the answer, Gottlieb sets out on her own journey in search of love, discovering wisdom and surprising insights from sociologists and neurobiologists, marital researchers and behavioral economists—as well as single and married men and women of all generations.

This book was created to assist women who want to meet men but are reluctant to approach them because of social barriers. Many women think it is not lady-like to approach men. Or that there is an imaginary line women should not cross because men should introduce themselves. How many times have you seen a man you thought was attractive and would like to meet? Perhaps he did not notice you or was distracted at the time you noticed him. So, the opportunity just passed without any eye contact or conversation. It became just another missed opportunity to meet Mr. Right. I have created a way for you to meet men in a fun, very unassuming way. I call it "the game". It is designed for you to meet men and ask questions. "The game" is a method to eliminate ineligible men so that the last man standing is Mr. Right.
