Summary: Excellent well thought out advice. A daters must read.
Review: 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.

Summary: Try this for Starters.
Review: Fun, but it can get kind of narrowed in its scope. It seems to be written with a woman's point of view in mind only. The man's perspective is seemingly an afterthought. This book is probably too simplistic for anybody who may be having real problems. However, this is a light and entertaining read just the same.

Summary: No promises, but an interesting book...
Review: Granted I've labeled myself amongst the "dating impaired" for awhile before I picked up this book. I decided to review this book about 6 months after I've been through it and see where my life is. As far as dating goes, I'll say it has improved. I'm not sure whether it is the content of this book Or just my life in general.Anyways, the book is neat and filled with good stuff for those who aren't too sure about dating. However only you can decide how the advice in the book will be used. Some of the information in this book you'll look at and say "duh" and some you'll say "will have to remember." Do with this book what you will. Above all, have fun!

Summary: The title tells the truth.
Review: I originally bought this book when I first moved to America from Europe. The whole dating scene was totally alien to me, and I thus bought this book to speed up my learning curve. It was mildly useful from a sociologic perspective, but as advice it was pretty much useless. There are better books out there. I ended up throwing mine away.

Summary: DATING FROM A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE
Review: If you are a guy this book will not tell you anything that will give you an edge over other guys. If scoring on a date is what you have in mind, find a book writen by a guy for guys. No educated professional woman is going tell you how to suduce other women. If you are one of those modern nice guys, buy this book. Wait for a woman to ask you out on a date, then pay all the expenses for the date and go home alone.

Summary: Common Sense?
Review: In ordering this book, I was hoping to get some insight, some understanding of how women think, how to achieve social success, how to deal with rejection. I certainly didn't need someone to tell me to brush my teeth and iron my clothes before going on a date! While the book is cleverly written, and amusing at times, it really didn't offer much to me in terms of information.

Summary: Covers Dating A-Z but not all the best advice
Review: Since this is written by a woman, she says it's ok for girls to ask guys out. Since reading The Rules I just don't think this is true. Men love a challenge and if womn pursue them they will lose interest. I don't agree that hard to get always equals hard to please. The author does differentiate between some behaviors and expectations, at at times made me laugh, other times tough love. I found the confidence discussion, body language, and writing about yourself and what you want useful..but one shouldn't be agaist personals and online dating as long as you meet soon and safely (in public). This book covered everything you can think about when it comes to dating, but there's a lot of common sense.

Summary: Dating for Dummies Review - its for those VERY new to dating
Review: This audio book was a disappointment. There is some obvious good advice such as meeting somewhere on your first date so that you are safe, and telling someone where you are going and with whom. But the author does not tackle any tough issues. For example, she says that "if you are separated or in the process of a divorce, you have no business dating." And she says without explanation that you have no business dating until at least one full year after your divorce. She says not to date somebody that works where you work and that is that. There is no advice on how to work the personnels. These are just examples of topics not covered. There is also no mention of dating someone of a different ethnicity, religion, age group, or geographical location. If you'd like advice about your dating situations, my guess is that there is some complexity. This book avoids complexity.

Summary: Dating for dummies
Review: This book contains some useful advises, however, although the author claims that the book can be useful for both sexes and all ages, it's not quite true. I tried to apply what is written in this book (although it contradicted to what I knew) and spoiled a relationship that started perfectly well. Guys, be careful. This book will tell you that you have to call you date the next day after you got her phone number, and other things like that making you excessively and annoyingly nice. You'll be better off getting a book written by a guy for guys or even better talk to somebody more experienced in dating that you.
