Liz Tuccillo, who is probable the best known as one of the writers of Sex and the City, is also the co-author of another hit dating book; "He's Just not That into You." She has now added to her time in the limelight with her new novel, "How to be Single."

It is a book about Julie Jenson a 38-year-old woman who goes on tour to find out why so many women stay single. She travels from Rio to Reykyavik, working on her study and also meeting men and getting her heart broken along the way. Meanwhile, in New York City her friends are also dealing with dating, love, and marriage problems.

Tuccillo says, "Julie is a mouthpiece for a lot of my musings. But unlike her I do not have sex with a prostitute in Brazil." This is a book about girl power with a lot of juicy details, and it emphasizes the fact that you need to love yourself first before you can find "the one."

From the mouth a musician, dating them is not a good idea. There are many reasons for why musicians are the people you should avoid dating. The only way to have a good relationship with a musician is to keep them from playing gigs.

First of all they are way too sensitive. They pour their souls into the songs they write or perform but this also moves in on their personal lives. They will take everything too seriously and become overly emotional about the simplest topic of conversation.

Musicians have huge egos which need to be fed all the time. If they get the slightest whiff of fame or recognition, they will instantly become full of themselves. Their big heads can become too much for an everyday relationship.

Most musicians at some time in their career will have to take their show on the road. This means that they have to spend a lot of time away from their partner. The only way to avoid loneliness is to go on the road with your significant other, which is too great a sacrifice for many.

There is also jealousy to deal with when you partner is away. The temptations are numerous - partying, drinking, drugs, and the worst problem, groupies. These things are all hard to resist especially when they are always in your face. Cheating is not the only thing to be wary of…

Though it may seem enticing to go out with the hot singer of that great band, there is a lot to think about before you take that step.

The newest trend on the market is men asking women out via their cell phones. The Mobile Marketing Association did a study where they found that 44% of men between 13 and 34 use their mobiles to flirt or date via text message. It seems to be a good way to avoid rejection with most guys using this as an easy way out. They don't have to pick up the phone, they simply drop you line over the phone.

Though this may not be fun for women, men now have the opportunity to avoid the laughter and humiliation of asking someone out that is not interested.

The downside really affects the ladies. A man without enough guts to ask you out for coffee will probably be just as chicken to ask you to marry him, or something similar. Even worse, he could be just so lazy that it is a job for him to dial a phone. The divorce rate is the only thing that is seeing the upsides of this, now about 10% of women and men use their phones to break up.
