An exhaustive reference on dating, from first-date jitters to breaking up

Isn't everybody dumb when it comes to dating? Well-known radio personality Dr. Joy Browne lays out all the mistakes - and many of their cures - in this exhaustive manual for dating, from searching your patterns for self-sabotaging behaviors to practical tips for the first date. Find out if your dating mode is "casual" or "heavy," and learn what to tuck into your emergency repair kit. Browne dissects every aspect of dating, from first kiss to breaking up, and offers many good tips along the way. We recommend this for anyone who recently began circulating or is skittish about dating. Rules are helpful, but remember that some rules are made to be broken.

Best Dating Book I've read

This book is awesome!! Frank and detailed advice on how to date--from where to go for the first meeting, the second date, etc. How to be clear if the person is not for you, warning signs, etc. Will save you lots of time in regard to the common mistakes and thinks of things that I wouldn't necessarily consider on my own. Goes into great detail but is clear-headed and realistic. I recommend it to my friends, clients and anyone wanting to date or currently dating.

Excellent well thought out advice. A daters must read.

Everybody thinking about dating or returning to the dating scene should read it. The book is informative, written in a concise, orderly fashion from what is considered a date, getting a date, where to go for the first and subsequent dates. Includes date Do's and Don'ts The advice is up to date and very relevant. It has real stories from the authors experience. Highlighted areas of "girls stuff","guys stuff",things to avoid, short statistics that are very enlightening.Very funny and well writen. Over all an excellent book.
