Summary: This book will change your life.
Review: ...If your looking for a meaningful long term romantic relationship then this is the book for you.This book explains everything that is misunderstood about true love. It emphasizes building a foundation of friendship and respect, and in time romance. It even explains how to get the coldest people to warm up to you. This book shows how "love is a predictable human response". If your a logical person, this book explains love in logical terms. Or actions and reactions. If your looking for help on how to inspirer and maintain a long term relationship, then this is the book for you.

Summary: Choose this one in searching your love,
Review: Although it was published in 1996, but it is still useful now. I love this book because it simplifies the love tactics in a persuasive style. If you are wondering to pick up which book in searching your love. Think about this --- you need useful, workable principles & rules, and this book contains only 126 pages, which is enough to teach you in searching your love. Other similar books contain more than 126 pages, you'd better be careful a lot of garbage there. My ex-boss recommends me this book, also, a famous psychologist in Taiwan (I'm living Taiwan, and sorry for my bad English) recommends it too. Of course, I've never lost any chance since I finish this book. I've also found its principles can be used in other fields including working relationships...etc.

Summary: Very useful book.
Review: As a professional counselor I have read many of the "relationship" books on the market and Tom's book is far and away among the very best. Love Tactics explains the way humans interact and the psychology behind what works and what does not work. Tactics may not be the most gentle sounding term, but the reality is everything in life has a formula or tactics that make something work. Love Tactics gives accurate information on how people psychologically respond to different situations. One of the most important concepts covered in the book is the ability to maintain a level of appearing indifference in a relationship and to why this allows the other person to respond without feeling "smothered" I have found the book very well written contrary to a previous review, in which the reviewer had problems spelling basic words. An excellent choice for a person who is serious about having a lasting relationship.

Summary: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
Review: Easily the best relationship/dating book I've ever read. And I've read alot. I wish I had had this book 15 years ago. After you read this one, pick up "More Love Tactics." It's just as good

Summary: Give me three steps
Review: First a caveat, no book or skill set can make everyone fall in love with you or turn you into Don Juan or Helen of Troy if you look like Quasimodo. If you are of average or above looks this book will help you keep the one you want. The authors break down a successful relationship into its constituent parts. They are friendship, respect and passion. The first two parts are about becoming a better person who can attract people to them. If you're a good solid friend who people become emotionally dependant upon you for support, you will attract people. The second part is about earning and keeping respect from other people. Ask yourself if you would want to be with a clingy desperate person with no self-confidence or self-esteem who can barely tie their shoelaces by themselves. So don't be one yourself. This book shows you how. The third part about creating passion is the controversial part. You do this through the scarcity principle. Passion is created by Hope and Doubt. This means you play easy to lose and is slightly different than playing hard to get. Playing hard to get short-circuits the hope that a person can get you and creates disinterest. Easy to lose creates the doubt that causes a person to constantly think about you. If you don't create the passion you will hear the phrase you're a nice guy/girl but... over and over again. The only weak spot is that the book is silent on shared values. This may be because those are set hard and you just have to look for and find the person who shares the same types of dreams, values and yes sense of humor as you do by seeing a number of people. This book will lead you through the rest and is why I give it my highest rating.
Additional books that are helpful in this area are Superflirt by Tracy Cox, Romance the (woman/man) you want by Lucy Sanna and Conversationally Speaking by Alan Garner.

Summary: Worth every Dollar!!!!!!!!!1
Review: I am a professional therapist and I can say without doubt I have made more money using the techniques in this book than any other. Simple to understand yet powerful in what they produce. If you are looking for a book that cuts through all the extra and gives you page after page of just the good stuff, then this is the one. If you do what they suggest it will take a while (more than 2 weeks), but I have seen first hand the results in many of my single clients!

Summary: Older and wiser, I've changed my mind about this book
Review: I first purchased "Love Tactics" twelve years ago and tried it, with a moderate degree of success on three individuals since then (my only three objects of interest in all that time!). The book, together with its successor "More Love Tactics", essentially attempts to arm the reader with strategies to win over the object of their desire. However, the book(s) has one major fundamental flaw (which the authors sheepishly accept, albeit briefly, in "More LTs") - these tactics will only work, no matter what the authors may contend, on those who are looking for a relationship themselves, and who are the type so few of us are lucky to find: kind, considerate, sensitive, intelligent, passionate people. Most emotionally stable, intelligent people's problems in relationships stem from investing time in those who ultimately are emotionally unavailable, and such individuals cannot and will not respond to these tactics and be with you, no matter how hard you try. I have to also question the motives of the authors. One tactic preaches that premarital sex damages relationships. Well I have news for Messrs. McKnight and Phillips. My earlier "relationships" never got as far as this stage, and I don't go for one night stands. However I recently learned that I have a physical condition for which I will require treatment and which will stop me having intercourse until cured. If had taken the advice in this book, ended up married without having had sex, I would have the double whammy of the physical treatment and possibly enduring emotional torment with a partner also. Anyone who preaches no sex prior to marriage is completely in the dark about the realities of sexual dysfunction in our society and should consider themselves lucky. The harsh reality is that you either meet a compatible partner to spend some or all of your life with, or you don't, and this book is just manipulative mind candy that you won't need to use if you are with the right person in the first place. Avoid.

Summary: Finally, a great book for understanding the opposing sex
Review: I first read this book several years ago during what turned out to be a failed relationship. I've read and re-read this book and realized my mistakes. I didn't follow all the principles and I got burned. I've learned from my mistakes and am using the principles (all of them!) in a new relationship that is working out just fine! I recommend this book to anyone who wants to find and create love with a certain someone.
