That's exactly what author Maryrose Forsyth wants you to do before
you get involved with your next partner.
Her new
book, The Real Estate of Relationships: Unveiling Practical Dating Solutions for the 21st Century, is a primer
on modern dating with a unique twist: Maryrose shows readers how to successfully date and even fall in love in a fast-paced
world by linking mate-hunting with house-hunting.
“My book can be a real asset to turn to when you want to begin investing in a relationship,” Maryrose says.
“The fact is that in today's competitive world, even dating has become a tough market.”
Just as each house on the market isn't for everyone, the author
points out, not every available single person is for everyone, either. Forsyth says, “If you date as if you were buying
real estate that would mean time, comparison shopping and assembling a list of pros and cons for each eligible single would
be a no-brainer.”
She adds that the results from using this approach can be extraordinary.
“Using
the same techniques as buying real estate, you won't get stuck with a partner who has hidden differences from what you ultimately
want,” said Forsyth. “Your investment will reap the rewards for a lifetime of happiness.”
The
Real Estate of Relationships includes a thought-provoking questionnaire designed to help every dater evaluate his or her specific
wants and needs. It also helps readers analyze their past relationships to see what was good, bad or downright ugly, and how
to avoid stepping into the same traps.
Maryrose breaks relationships into eight categories: purchase, lease, lease-purchase,
lease-option, investment, time-share, rental and homeless. “I speak from experience,” she quips. “I’ve
dated guys from every category!”
