In “Dater’s Remorse” Cindy Chupack offers advice for choosing a mate based on consumer tips. Her advice includes choosing a mate you won’t get sick of quickly (a “classic”), avoiding a mate you aren’t satisfied with as is (a fixer upper), choosing a mate that fits in with your lifestyle and habits, and figuring out why your date is still single before taking him on. Finally, she suggest that daters should follow the motto “buyer beware” before making a commitment.

Your summary will differ from this one in the way it is written, but it should include roughly the same information.
