Do You Like My Wiener?: a non-expert's no-nonsense guide to dating by Brenda Rothert
Book Blurb:
With laugh-out-loud mishaps and heartfelt advice, bestselling romance author Brenda
Rothert shows readers that while dating these days can be the worst, great men aren’t just fictional.
Ladies, we’ve all been there…a good first date is wrapping up and we’re sure a second date is
likely after a great goodnight kiss beside our car. He’s tall, funny and charming. FINALLY a good
one. He asks to get in the car, which seems natural since it’s cold outside. And then, once inside,
another kiss, and he exposes himself and asks us if we like his wiener.
Wait, what? You haven’t been there? Guess that one only happened to me. What about the guy
who spends most of a first date complaining bitterly about his ex-wife? The one with the guy
who cops to his criminal record over dessert?
Dating these days can leave a girl frustrated and disgusted. But fear not, I’m here to help. I’m a
veteran dater, having spent a fair amount of time in the cheap-cologne scented trenches. And
while I am admittedly not an expert, I can help you avoid my mistakes.
I’ll show you how to prepare yourself for dating, how to spot the red flags and how to laugh off
the misadventures you will inevitably have. And hopefully, how to avoid an awkward wiener encounter
of your own.

PICTURE IT: I’m on my way to a first date with a cute guy I met on a dating site. I’m feeling
good— got my hair and nails done, put my jeans in the dryer for an extra ten minutes so they’re
fitting just right, and I’m wearing my favorite heels because this guy is quite tall, and I won’t feel
like a giant next to him in heels.
For our first meeting, we’re getting together at an upscale bar for a drink. It’s attached to a very
popular restaurant, and the parking lot is nearly full on this Friday night. I park in the back, and
when I get out to walk in, I run into my date, who is also walking in. I recognize him from his
photos on the dating site.
I’m happy with what I see. He has a very friendly smile, and he’s wearing a nice shirt with jeans.
And? He really is as tall as he said on his profile. We walk inside together, where we have a
drink and some nice conversation.
When it’s time to go, I button up my coat, and he walks me all the way to the back of the parking
lot, where my car is. It’s a cold winter evening, and I can see our breath as we stand next to my
car facing each other.
It’s the moment of truth: will he or won’t he kiss me? I
I’ve fielded so many amused, incredulous questions from my girlfriends on this that I know what
you’re thinking. No, he wasn’t kidding at all. Yes, he really called it his wiener. And yes, he
seemed to think this unexpected display of his manhood would turn me on.
It did not. I was shocked and utterly, completely disappointed. He had seemed so nice. And nice
guys don’t whip it out without warning on a first date.
Now, I could have dressed him down right there, but let’s face it. He wouldn’t have gotten the
point. So I said the only thing I could to defuse the moment. “Um . . . yeah, it’s very nice.”
My girlfriends got a huge kick out of that one. *eyeroll*
I should have just told him to exit my car and my life in that moment. It took me another thirty
seconds or so to do it, though. He took my awkward response as encouragement and told me
what he wanted me to do to his wiener, at which point I told him no and goodnight.
But seriously, who expects to find themselves in such a crazily inappropriate moment? Well, if
you’re going to date, you should expect the cringeworthy. It will come your way.
You should also expect moments of joy, disappointment, hope, and relief. Dating in this day and
age is not for the faint of heart. But you can prepare yourself, and I hope to help you do that.
So who am I anyway, and how am I qualified to help?
As the subtitle of this book states, I’m no expert. I’m not sure what makes one a true expert, but
I’d never call myself one. I have been in the trenches, though. I’m twice divorced and have been
on many dates when single. I’ve dated at different life stages— in my twenties and in my forties,
with kids and without, through thick and thin (Yep, I’m talking about my waistline, and surprisingly,
I’m more confident now even though there’s more junk in the trunk). I’m a former journalist
and the author of more than twenty-five romance novels.
I look at every date as a learning experience. And in this book, I’m going to share with you what
I’ve learned. I hope you can avoid at least some of my mistakes and go in a little wiser than I
did.
A lot of single women believe there aren’t many good guys out there to date. I know this feels
like the truth sometimes, but it hasn’t been my experience. To find the good guys, though, you
have to be both smart and tenacious.
Success happens when preparation meets opportunity. If you want to find a partner, I believe
you absolutely can and will. It won’t happen overnight, and it probably won’t be easy.
But first, you have to be prepared. So let’s start preparing you, girl.
