"Modern dating can feel overwhelming, with so many online dating apps offering a seemingly endless sea of possible matches. Ghosting, outdated assumptions about relationships, and a massive assortment of dating platforms have obscured the point of all of it: this is supposed to be fun. Enter professional sex and dating coach Myisha Battle. Over the course of a decade as a licensed clinical sexologist, she's developed a set of tools that allow singles to bypass the games. This Is Supposed to Be Fun presents a guide to every step of the relationship process, from creating the perfectly imperfect dating profile, to staying true to your authentic self on dates, to breaking up with compassion. More so than any other previously written, this book is radically inclusive-tackling issues confronting different racial, sexual, and gender identities, and body types"-- Provided by publisher.
