Race You to the Fountain of Youth: I'm Not Dead Yet! (But Parts of Me Are Going Fast!): Laughing Your Way Through Midlife

As a fellow author in the dating category (Dating, Inc.: Recruit, Select, and Retain the Right Man for the Relationship), I'm always interested in reading what my peers write. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by The Automatic 2nd Date. As I read, I realized just how many people complain they can't meet anyone for a first date. So all the energy goes into finding someone and none of the energy goes into keeping someone around. I especially like the "male GPS" angle, it's a cute take on finding the right place to meet new guys.

I have this book in the waiting room of my counseling office. When it's time for my next client to come in, she is reading Automatic 2nd Date frantically telling me "just let me finish this part!" You can't put this book down! If you want the self-esteem, self-confidence, and courage to attract and keep the man you've always wanted, this is the book for you. With her magical communication style, Victorya shows you how to become the person you've really been all along. Pamela J. Bolen Licensed Professional Counselor

An automatic 2nd hit! Victorya captured my attention on the first page and I was hooked! I already have a list of friends I'm giving this book to. I especially love the action points and journaling at the end of each chapter. Great job Victorya! No wonder you're married to such an amazing man!

Okay, I love this book. This is a great follow-up to Rogers last book FINDING A MAN WORTH KEEPING. I have so many girlfriends who are single-again and terrified to get back in the dating game. I will be gifting AUTOMATIC 2nd DATE to these girlfriends this year. Rogers guides weary singles on a step by step plan on gaining confidence, courage and charisma. She shows how ANY single woman can compel men to ask them out, AND she reveals step by step instructions on how you can sail through first dates without scaring a great guy away (without being phony or manipulative). I especially like the 100 questions she offers to help jump start a conversation with your man which includes some deep questions you can lightly venture into to help gain valuable insight into the inner character of your man--all on the first date and without scaring him away. Rogers does not teach you how to manipulate your date, rather she shows you how you can "get on the same wavelength" of your man just by paying attention and doing subtle shifts in your normal behavior to actually let someone know you care without scaring them away. If you ever wondered why "HE" didn't call back for a 2nd date, even when you had a great time, then you HAVE to read this book.

As a reviewer I have read countless books on just about every subject known, and that includes books on dating. I wondered what could be new in this genre that I have not already seen. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I read Ms.Rogers work, "The Automatic 2nd Date." Ms. Rogers definitely brings a new approach to the table. Inside of this book you will be awakened within as the author reveals secrets that she herself has put into practice, and emerged a winner in the dating game. No one likes to feel rejected, but often this occurs because of what we ourselves portray to others. In this work you will learn how to unleash the true you, with confidence, pose, dignity and charm. Understand, this book is not about changing you into someone else, only letting the excellence that is already within you come forth, the hidden treasures that Mr. Right is looking for. How exciting is that? Topics are covered such as, The First Impression, Help with make-up, and Conversation Tips, just to name a very few. Very interesting and very helpful. I have one questions that keeps rolling around in my mind when I think of this book by Victorya Michaels Rogers; just where was this book when I needed it? No matter your age ladies, if you are walking the dating road, this book is for you. Very well written, fresh, personal, alive. Truly a real winner.
