Read more from him on his website, GoodInBed. If you’re a single woman and you’re looking for love, forget about “The Rules” and stop worrying that “He’s just not that into you.” That was then, this is now - it’s a post-dating world you’re living in, and that means you have to shed your one-to-one mind-set and start thinking in terms of one to many.
