To text or not to text? That is just one of the many questions saleswoman-turned-dating-coach and author Jess McCann will answer for single readers seeking lasting relationships in her newest book “Say This, Not That: The Answer to All Your Dating Dilemmas.”
“It’s a book about how to respond whether it’s verbally or non verbally in every situation that could be thrown at you in today’s dating world,” McCann tells Yeas & Nays. Although she didn’t anticipate writing another book — her first was “You Lost Him at Hello: A Saleswoman’s Secrets to Closing the Deal” — McCann says she realized the need to do so after getting inundated with emails from women asking all of the same questions.
“One of the big questions I get in the book is ‘How do I get a guy to stop texting me and just pick up the phone?’ Everybody wants to know that,” she shares. So, she answered the call and put together a two-hundred plus page dating guide on how to and how not to behave which includes recommendations ranging from how to respond to certain texts, when to let a guy be a Facebook friend, to how to handle awkward and even drunk hook up situations, “It’s a Q & A format and it gives you techniques but also verbatim on ways to bring up topics and discuss subjects with guys to make you sound the best you can sound and get the best outcome that you want,” she explains.
“Say This, Not That” is slated to hit stores late November.
