Amazon.com description: Product Description: Have you ever found yourself thinking, âIf one more friend gets engaged Iâm going to screamâ?
Do the words taffeta and crinoline make you break into a cold sweat?
Does reading the wedding announcements section in the newspaper induce outright hyperventilation?
If so, congratulations! Youâve hit the Panic Years.
According to author Doree Lewak, the Panic Years mark the point (usually around your twenty-sixth birthday) when your dating agenda fundamentally changesâfrom dating for a fling to dating for a ring. Suddenly your newly married friends feel more like enemies, weddings become mocking reminders of your own single status, and you contemplate going on a reality TV show to find true love. Whatâs a girl to do?
In The Panic Years, Lewak delivers a hilarious and helpful road map for conquering the Panic and finding Mr. Right. As Lewak shows, you can win the race to the altar by changing your tactics from Panicked to Proactiveâand keeping your sense of humor along the way. You will learn how to:
Cope with Panic by Proxyâpushy friends and parents.
Successfully hunt for PFs (Potential Fiancés).
Project hotness and desirability.
Setâand stick toâdating time lines.
Avoid being bitter at your friendsâ weddingsâand ruining all their pictures with that scowl on your face.
Get the ring and the proposal and seal the deal!
Packed with true-life stories from the Panic trenches as well as indispensable advice, The Panic Years is the ultimate guide for anyone who wants to survive her single years (with sanity intact), snag her perfect guy, and remain fabulous throughout it all.
You know youâre in the Panic Years when:
Your mom slips you the number of her tennis partnerâs son ⦠for the fifth time.
Youâve walked down the aisle dozens of timesâjust not as a bride.
Your âconcerned friendsâ chip in for a subscription to Match.com for your birthday.
Itâs down to you and the five-year-old flower girl at the bouquet toss.
Upon hearing âGuess what? Iâm engaged!â for the second time in one week, you disconnect your phone.
You actively scheme to win back your exâeven though heâs already engaged to someone else.
