Forget eight-minute speed dates or online dating sites with twenty-page questionnaires that promise a scientifically calculated perfect match.

And before the first date, you need to get over yourself! Taking a tough-love approach, and in her signature straight-shooting style, Patti will show you how to fix what needs to be fixed, reach your core, and identify who you are and what you want in a partner.
