I've already given one copy to a friend trolling the online dating services-she was really grateful after she read this book. As for you-just get out there and do it-I really recommend this book-it is like having a hundred of friends coaching you before each date.

This is an amusing and useful read. The perspectives you'll get in this book are what you'll run into in the real world. If you're on the market, you'll want to know what you're in for, and what you're up against. If you're not, you'll laugh at what you're missing, and maybe envy it a little. Amusing, unbelievable and sometimes even informative.

I don't know what I would have done without all the tips and funny pieces of advice in this book. It puts dating in humorous perspective. Reading about other people's experiences encouraged me to perservere.

A friend bought me this book after I broke up with my boyfriend - she thought I needed to improve my "dating skills". I wasn't planning on reading it but when I started flipping through it, I couldn't stop. The stories are hilarious and - much to my surprise - I did learn some things (especially from the chapter on online dating) I only wish she had given me the book a few years earlier... could have saved myself some heartache.

I enjoyed the different perspectives of other people on their philosophy and expectations for dating. Reading through the comments makes you realize that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work in dating. You can expect your behavior to have a great result with one person and less spectacular results with another. It isn't anything personal, and that is what makes things interesting.

However, this might disappoint some looking for a formulaic approach to dating. Instead, your goal when reading this book should be to recognize different viewpoints while evaluating your own opinions on dating and relationships.

This book has honest advice (and funny stories!) from men and women who are in the dating game. I love how the juicy stuff is written by 'anonymous'! This book is better than dating books that stick to one theory on how to meet (and how to keep!) someone interesting. It covers a range of suggestions from a diverse group.

My sister gave me this book last week. At first, I was annoyed. But then I cracked it open and couldn't stop laughing. This book is great fun....and its pretty interesting too. The style is all short pieces of advice and stories from people across the country sharing their experiences. I guess I'm not alone. May actually try some of this advice. Don't tell my sister.
