Getting back into the dating world after a divorce can be tricky, and figuring out how to approach someone you're interested in can be even trickier.

Michael Solomon, the author of "Now It's Funny: How I Survived Cancer, Divorce and Other Looming Disasters," stopped by HuffPost Live on Wednesday to share how he introduced himself to his second wife -- and it wasn't exactly honest.

"I saw her from afar and she was very beautiful so I just started to talk to her," he said. "Actually, I lied to her. That was the first thing I did. I said 'Do I know you?' knowing full well that I had never seen her before."
