Author, comedian, and former LA Times columnist Mark Miller is available to share tips to help baby boomers navigate 21st century dating; and to offer a rare man’s perspective on surviving the trenches of online dating.
Miller’s insight was not easily acquired: after his divorce, he went on over 500 first dates in order to find “the one.” He emerged with a smile, an endless repartee of jokes, and profound insight on what it means to find love in the modern world. In 500 DATES: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Online Dating Wars (February 3, 2015), he fearlessly chronicles his course through “a new dating ocean so vast it renders any sense of navigation fruitless.”
