Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A modern guide to dating safely, protecting your heart and embracing independence.

The online dating world isn't for the faint of heart. From shady suitors to copy-paste convos, it's easy to end up with more tears than matches! A modern woman could use a bit of guidance, and dating expert and founder of Bad Dates of Melbourne, Alita Brydon, is here to help.

Whether you're new to dating or a seasoned looker-for-love, Alita has tips for safely navigating the dating app jungle and empowers you to be not just another lonely heart, but a Dangerous Woman.

  • So what exactly is a Dangerous Woman?
  • A Dangerous Woman is open to love and knows how to find romance, but won't trade her happiness for a ring.
  • A Dangerous Woman knows how to make her life rich with hobbies, friends, and adventureβ€”there's more to life than locking down a babe!
  • A Dangerous Woman feels good about her body, including the chicken nugget chub, and won't trade her self-worth for an Instagram-filtered fantasy.
  • A Dangerous Woman is dangerous because she's prepared to challenge the structures and traditions in society that don't serve her.

How to Date Like a Dangerous Woman is a book for the younger woman familiar with modern dating tools and for the older woman, who might feel uncertain, even overwhelmed, returning to a very different dating world. With Alita's game-changing three-stage plan, you'll be able to rock dating, unsquish your heart, and fall head over heels in love with yourself. Are you ready to unleash the feisty femme within?
