some solid ideas, some scary ones

I was both encouraged and then slight ly alarmed by some of Nancy Slotnick's theories about dating. Positives: her encouraging, go for broke, common sense aphorisms, i.e. don't date beneath yourself, don't rely on internet dating et al Negatives: some "quaint", quasi stalkerish concepts, such as give "vulnerable" eye contact (eh? I didn't get that one), get a new date each week (what if you want to get to know someone for a while, wait there's no time for that! snap snap!) don't ask him out (calling all "Rules" readers) and don't touch him (that is "controlling behavior" she implies.) I just felt too straitjacketed to adhere to these tenets. My ultimate dating advice: do what feels right to you, it's really the only sustainable notion.
wow!

I made it my New Year's resolution to find a worthy guy for myself, and now I know how! The advice in here is amazing and it's such a fun read. I learned a lot while laughing out loud. One chapter talks all about how men use actions and not words to communicate and how we can learn their "language." I never realized I'd been making so many mistakes with men. Thank God I read this before I made more! I highly recommend this book to anyone who's really serious about finding the right guy.

I just got this yesterday and read it in one day. This is an excellent dating book with a lot of pretty great ideas, the best dating book I've read in a long time. It's about defining yourself and positioning yourself so you can attract the guy who's right for you and stop wasting time. Just the chapter on translating guy talk really opened my eyes about the things I do wrong when I get involved with someone new. It's also unusual for a dating advice book in that it's so well written and zips right along. The writing is fast and sharp and funny and it reads like your friend is sitting you down and giving you some necessary, no-nonsense advice. I highly recommend it to anyone who has lost hope of finding the right person for them, because the author of this book really taught me something new about relationships.
