"A Single-ular Sensation"-- Skokie Woman's life is an open book.
One of the men Debbie Goodman went out with didn't use silverware, even when he
ordered spagetti. Another insisted that she dress only in plaid on their dates.
Goodman's friends used to tell her that her dating experiences could fill a book. She
decided to take them at their word. The result is "Still Single," a hilarious compendium
of Goodman's search for a nice guy that has become a hit through word of mouth in
local bookstores and made Goodman a celebrity in her native Skokie and elsewhere.
When she answers some singles ads, she finds that "there must be a rule that (men)
are not allowed to place a singles ad unless all their clothes don't match... "If they place
an ad and they're looking to meet someone, I don't think a red shirt, yellow tie and
brown jacket are the answer."
She meets and falls for an older man who finally tells her that they have to stop
seeing each other because she reminds him too much of his daughter. She sends
him a card: "Enjoyed our time together. I need my college tuition by next week."
Goodman's dating experiences haven't dampened her enthusiasm for life a bit. She
remains ever hopeful on the Mr. Right front, too. "I'm sure that someday somebody
nice will come along," she says.
But is somebody whose tie matches his shirt too much to hope for?

Writer looks for Mr. Right.. A vivacious, energetic, attractive young Skokie
woman is seeking a nice guy. What she has been finding could fill a book. That's why
Debbie Sue Goodman wrote "Still Single," a compendium of her worst dating
experiences.
To meet Goodman is to like her, which might explain why she has been asked out
by men in such unlikely places as the post office. Of course, that didn't work out.
"He was mailing out resumes because he told me he was fired from his last four jobs,"
Goodman said. He also told her he didn't have a phone. Then he got lucky and called
from a pay phone to tell her he got a job. "I can take a bus to meet you because my car
was repossessed." Even though he had a stack of bills, he wanted to take her on a
date-- for a walk. She passed on that offer.
Goodman's biggest fan is her mother, with whom she lives in a sprawling home
decorated with landscapes painted by her mother who studied at the Art Institute.
