Especially a couple of musicians who have unusual musical tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I realize this phrase doesn\u2019t always have the purest connotations, but as a romance writer, parent, and teacher I decided to read a couple of books on the topic. In an age when the marriage rate has plummeted and many are simply not getting married, how can we encourage people to date and eventually marry in healthy ways?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the blurb for my short story:<br>Alone on Valentine\u2019s Day with only his viola for a date, Vince decides to drown his sorrows at the university coffee shop. In a room full of love-struck couples, Gaby\u2019s alternative guitar music doesn\u2019t quite strike a romantic tone. Can she find anyone who appreciates her original style?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-rescot-creative wp-block-embed-rescot-creative\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"DJcxVdNBAN\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/2021\/02\/10\/no-strings-attached\/\">Is &#8220;No Strings Attached&#8221; a Good Thing?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Is &#8220;No Strings Attached&#8221; a Good Thing?&#8221; &#8212; Rescot Creative\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/2021\/02\/10\/no-strings-attached\/embed\/#?secret=01c3NUZSO2#?secret=DJcxVdNBAN\" data-secret=\"DJcxVdNBAN\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.blubrry.com\/?media_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.blubrry.com%2Fmusic_book_club%2Fcontent.blubrry.com%2Fmusic_book_club%2FNo_Strings_Attached.mp3&amp;podcast_link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rescotcreative.com%2Fde%2F2022%2F02%2F03%2Fno-strings-attached-2%2F#mode-Light&border-000000&progress-000000\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"165\" frameborder=\"0\" id=\"blubrryplayer-1\" class=\"blubrryplayer\" title=\"Blubrry Podcast Player\"><\/iframe><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/music_book_club\/content.blubrry.com\/music_book_club\/No_Strings_Attached.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/de\/?powerpress_pinw=4846-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/music_book_club\/content.blubrry.com\/music_book_club\/No_Strings_Attached.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"No_Strings_Attached.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding a date for Valentine&#8217;s Day may not be easy for everyone.
