Ten Foolish Dating Mistakes

I've read through piles of books on dating and relationships, and this book packs the most bang for the buck. Whenever a book makes a strong statement which is undoubtedly true, I highlight it in yellow. This book had a lot of yellow in it by the time I was done reading it. The tag-team authorship is well educated, and at the same time easy to read. I recommend it to anyone that has worried about issues in dating, relating, and mating.

This book shows the reader how to be a better significant other by focusing on improving themselves. While that is the main focus of the book the rules applied to dating by Gruzen and Sperber are also very applicable to all relationships that people are in, friendships, roommates, etc. Humerous but poignant examples show the reader what he or she might be doing wrong, and often what he or she is doing right!

I thought this book was very enlightening. Some of the mistakes people make should be common sense, but just seeing them in writing helped to clarify my own mistakes and showed me that I'm not alone. I thought it was also a great book not only for relationships, but for relating to people in general.

I went through a very difficult relationship, and then broke up, it has taken me 21/2 years to sort of get back on my feet, everyone always said that my dating techniques were pretty bad and I guess I just didn't realize it,so I finally bought the book, and as I just went trhough the table contents, I felt like it was describing me EXACTLY!! I felt bad, so I read as fast as I could, and it has really made a difference, I now know what I shouldn't do and altough I would have liked more deepness in some topics I feel so much better that I finally caught up on all the things everyone kept telling me I was doing, and just couldn't realize until I read this book. IF YOU ARE SINGLE AND DATING PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOR AND READ AND RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. Lila Gruzen and Rebeca Sperber, I think I can never be thankful enough, you guys are AMAZING.

This book has some very useful advice for anyone willing to look at their own dating habits and patterns. I found the examples of dialogue between men and women on dates, used to illustrate the dating "mistakes", to be of particular help. The substance of the book is delivered with an excellent blend of sound advice and humor. The book also reminded me of how important it is to just relax and have fun on dates before becoming too serious. I highly recommend it.
