Rating:  Summary: Used it. Married happily nine years this September. Review: I have not read this book for almost ten years, but I recently referred it to an internet friend having trouble in her relationship. I too wanted to marry my boyfriend who was not of the same mind. We broke up and he was with another woman for about six weeks.I swore I would never resort to such games, but, I thought... one last shot. I really loved him. I followed the book. I guess he really loved me too, but, he just didn't know it at the time. We have been happily married for nine years this September. This love has survived despite all odds ( financial problems and the Brady Bunch (combined family). The passion is still there and we have a really good bond. We were honest with each other. I also prayed to God to do what would make him happy and I didn't want him if it wasn't right for him as well. I dont remember the first one or two chapters being particularly useful for me but the majority of the book was right on target.So, to the person who thought it was only for lust not love...you were wrong. I am as crazy about him to day as I was then. One of our children is getting married this year and I hope that they will be as close and committed as us. BUY THE BOOK
Rating:  Summary: For People Who Don't KNow Themselves Review: I just had to look at this book..someone I know "uses" it to try and keep this relationship they have going and had to see what others are saying about it....oh well...to each their own eh? The person I know uses it literally...like they don't have their own mind or opinions or judgements..just mechanically pulls out old "love tactics" and tries to fix things. LOL! It appears to be desparate and manipulative and just plain..dangerous to one's well being. The word "tactics" should be enough to keep a sensible person away! The person I know that has this book never sits still or takes 'alone' time to look at who they really are and what they want in life. They moved from one relationship..directly (OVERLAPPING) into another and have chosen a 'victim' who isn't really even compatibe...but hey- with love tactics anything is possible...and if not...there's always duct tape and rope eh? Two needy and clueless people could benefit from this book but if one of the people has their own mind and/or self-esteem ==it will fail! You can't get blood from a stone right? Take time to sit alone and think...take time to feel, ======== trust your 'inner voice' which is...God==============
Rating:  Summary: A great book! Review: I purchased this book about 6 months ago with the intent of winning the heart of someone special I had met two months previously. Before applying any of the techniques I read the book from cover to cover trying to get a feel for the concept of the book and the reasoning behind them. Once I had a feeling of where my relationship stood at that point in time, I began to experiment with various techniques as described in the book. It is my opinion that no book can actually make someone fall in love with you. But a book can help you make the other person, the object of your desires, realise that they have feelings for you, if they indeed exist below the surface. Patience is required, however. Some of the techniques in this book take weeks or longer to play out effectively. But trust me, they do work. And, while the object of my affections has yet to declare her love for me, I can see the day coming and have this book to thank for helping me not blow everything by being impatient. This is truly a great book and I highly recommend it!
Rating:  Summary: New Reader Review: I read this book about 7 years ago. Sadly I had to learn late in life that you do not find someone by using "tactics." Although not quite a stalkers manual, it comes close. I tried to "win over" someone by using some of these "tactics" for two years. I later learned that she had also been dating someone else but wanted the perks she was getting from my creative attention. It is difficult to manipulate someone into liking you. The old adage is true, women choose their men. My life has become so much easier now that I have accepted this fact. My dating life and self esteem have improved as well.
Rating:  Summary: It works- I'm living proof Review: I read this book at what seemed the worst time in my life when it came to relationships. It was very uplifting, and challenged me to use the tactics described. I used them on a girl who I thought was an ideal candidate for marriage- but who only liked me as a friend. I hung in there and aggresively used the strategies and tips the book offered, and eventually she became interested in me romantically. We dated for four years and now we are married. Trust me when I say that without this book, I would still be single and completely oblivious to what I was doing wrong! It might not happen overnight, but if you take this book seriously and have the patience to follow through and hang your head high even in the face of rejection, you will succeed!
Rating:  Summary: It works flawlessly. Just keep the book a secret from dates! Review: I studied the entire book. Then skimmed it again. Using these tactics will make you an absolute magnet for the oppisite sex. And it'll actually make you a better person in the process. The book wisely tells you to be careful who you choose to use these tactics on. You better "like" em, because you will get em. And it's true. I know, first hand. And it works well for business relationships too. "Everyone" and I mean everyone, wants to be around you when you use these tactics. The tactics are simple, realistic, and infallible. Good job guys!
Rating:  Summary: Thumbs Down!! Review: I'm sure the authors of Love Tactics meant well in writing this book; however, the advice given is oversimplified to the point of being dangerous. The content really comes down to the same old "play hard to get, run hot then cold" dance that characterizes the game of *lust*, certainly, but not love. There is no mention in the book of the more important issue of how to choose the right partner to pursue. Anyone using these tactics on an emotionally unavailable or otherwise troubled person will find that they are playing *to* that person's fear of intimacy, not building their desire for it. Some of the advice given actually contradicts itself: page.84 admonishes: "don't sympathize...any opinions from you at all may cause the person to regret having opened up to you"; pg.91, love tactic #34 suggests: "supply sympathy..you can greatly relieve their emotional burdens and strengthen the bonds of attatchment..". My advice: save your money, find a good therapist, and learn how to attract people who don't need or want to play hard to get.Love is not supposed to feel this way!!!
Rating:  Summary: Life Changing Book! Review: If it seems that Love is a game where everyone knows the rules except you - this book will enlighten you! If you've been stuck in a pattern of less than happy relationships - this book will show you how to break the pattern! Many people are put off by the idea of using tactics to win love, but that is no different than using the tactic of combing your hair before going out on a date: there are simply things you can do to improve your chances of making a love connection, and this book will show you how. I practically memorised Love Tactics and the sequel five years ago, and almost immediately met a wonderful woman from Australia. We have been living together here now for almost 3 years and will be marrying soon. Change your love life - read this book!
Rating:  Summary: New Reader Review: If you have never read this book, you should!! I don't think there exists any other book out there that reaches the caliber of intelligence and morality in using "tactics" that this book displays. If you're looking for a book on how to score then there are plenty others out there for you. But if you want true genuine love this one's for you!! ... I'm always looking to learn more and would even be interested in getting some kind of group together (like minded people) with people interested in Love Tactics. You know what they say, "two heads are better than one!" Hope to hear from anyone who might have the same goals or anything to share! :)
