Praise for KISS AND RUN

Like thewise, funny sidekick every single woman needs, Furman finally says it out loud: "Not all women are dreaming of a diamond ring!" And that's ok.
—Rachel Safier, There Goes the Bride

Socrates wrote that an unexamined life is not worth living, and, in Kiss and Run, Elina Furman demonstrates with wit and empathy that an unexamined relationship is not worth re-living. Wow, I just mentioned Socrates and Elina Furman in the same sentence. For today’s generation of commitment-phobic women, she’s indeed the philosopher-queen.
—Ian Kerner, Be Honest – You’re Not That Into Him Either

Elina Furman has mustered up the courage to tell the dirty little secret about many successful, single American women.No longer in need of men for their livelihoods or personal well-being, they are just as likely to walk away from commitment as they are to walk down the aisle. Not only do they want to date like men, they want to roll over, go to sleep and leave before the cock crows in the morning. Kiss and Run offers both empathy and remedy for this dating disease du jour.
—Jodie Gould, co-author of Date Like A Man: To Get the Man You Want

So what I’m single, picky and indecisive? I no longer have to deny it, and now there’s even a cure! Kiss and Run is a must-have for any woman who is single or on the brink of making a commitment.
—Chelsea Handler, author of My Horizontal Life

 

About the Book

For years, it was the men who had the monopoly on commitment-phobia. Today, single women are the fastest growing segment of the population, with over forty seven million single women in this country. Whatever the reasons— fear of divorce, increased financial independence, delayed motherhood —more women than ever no longer feel the urgency, or the ability, to settle down. Lucky for this growing group of women, author and former commitment-phobe Elina Furman has written Kiss and Run, the first ever book about female commitment anxiety.

Filled with fun quizzes, first-person testimonials, and step-by-step action plans, Kiss and Run includes the top five panic buttons, advice for curbing overanalysis, and tips for fixing negative commitment scripts. In this book, you’ll also find the seven types of commitment-phobes, including The Nit-Picker, The Serial Dater, The Player, and The Long-Distance Runner.

Based on the stories of more than 100 women, this straight-talking guide helps single women conquer commitment anxiety and say “yes” to love.
