The ideas in the book are more for the teenage audience, but many of the ideas could be used by adults as well. Overall the ideas are creative but some are a bit on the corny side.

I'd also recommend 300 Creative Dates which is more creative overall and written for the adult in mind. I found it at 300creativedates. com

This book is about learning to how to develop relationships with the opposite sex and learning to be creative in developing associations based on personal contact and friendship, which lay the foundation for romance. This book is NOT for 25-year old commitment- phobics who are trying to find a way to date "on the cheap". Rather it is an excellent gift book to young teens who are just entering the dating scene but are fearful of the cost of dating and are devoid of ideas as to how to entertain the opposite sex without having to spend a lot of money.

Certainly, not all of the ideas in the book are for everyone. But young teens who are struggling to save up for enough money to be able to date may be stimulated with some of the ideas in the book and realize that they don't have to blow their whole paycheck in order to get a favorable response from the opposite sex.

I would highly recommend this book. Dating for Under a Dollar by Blair Tolman should not be thought of as only for teenagers, it's also great for anyone single or married who is looking for a creative date. This would make a fun gift to get for those hard to buy for teenagers!!!! The suggestions in the book are extremeley creative. I would definitely give this book a thumb's up!!

What a fun book! My daughter and her friends have ACTUALLY USED a number of these ideas! The group dating section is particularly useful! Kids don't have a whole lot of extra money these days, but with this book kids won't have to let lack of money stop them from wholesome dating!

Mr. Tolman's book brings refreshing ideas to a world full of dull dates! It is a must have for teenagers, young adults or parents with dating kids!

After reading this book I was pumped up to go get the girls!! It may sound childish at first but after trying it I had a whole lot more fun than I expected!! I recomend this book for all dating ages! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TOLMANS!!!!!

I feel this book gives kids in the dating years a list of great things to do to have fun besides sitting in a dark car or theater contemplating what is beneath the clothing. Kids learn to interact with each other in a positive, fun and unintimidating setting where they can be theirselves and get to know that way others relate in a social setting. Teens do not need to deep think a relationship at an early age, they just need to have fun. The games and ideas are for this purpose and have been around for ages making them a valuable item in the teen arsenol. I would recommend this book to any parent that is worried about their kids spending too much time 'talking' with their girl or boyfriend and not enough time having good, clean, honest FUN! Isn't that what dating is all about, it is $9.95 well spent in my opinion.

This is perhaps the biggest waste of paper I have ever purchased. It's aimed towards teens and adults, but it has "dating activities" that are mostly remenicient of childhood group games, such as "Duck, duck, goose!"

I highly reccommend not purchasing this, unless you want to find silly games to play with a bunch of kids. It states the purpose of dating is "getting to know your partner better", but completely ignores any concept of romance. In the "group dating activities", it's games have you doing mostly silly things that don't encourage talking, or getting closer to the person.

Please, do yourself a favor and do not buy this hideous piece of crusty rodent droppings. 1 star is too high a rating, but it is the minimum Amazon allows.

This book gives great ideas on dating. Given, some are corney but most are really good. You will definitly have fun with this book. And remember to have an open mind because once you tri it you will have fun!!!
