From the Publisher

As the publisher, this book has personal meaning for me. Like, "where was this book when I was single?" As a man who still remembers how terribly unnerving the dating process was, this book would have been a Godsend. The woman who practices the Master Dating principles was exactly the type of woman I was searching for, and fortunately found. Quality Men, as the author describes them, most certainly agree. Why did I publish this book? Because, my reaction upon reading Master Dating was, Finally, a book has been written that completely casts out the antiquated notion of game playing. Game playing, in my opinion, may be a short-term way for a desperate person to find a mate, but may also be a significant reason for the astronomical divorce rate in the U.S. Relationships are much more likely to succeed when the cornerstone upon which they are built is honesty, and this author has the integrity to say so. I would never have published this book otherwise. Vic Spadaccini

5.0 out of 5 stars My Top Book Choice For Getting A Date!, January 13, 2003

By 

Steve Nakamoto "The Friendly Voice of the... (Huntington Beach, California USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Master Dating: How to Meet & Attract Quality Men! (Paperback)

Heres a refreshing, uplifting dating/relationship book that I think women (and some curious men like me) will really enjoy and find interesting. Unlike a lot of books about dating, this one tells it like it is from both the mens and womens point-of-view.

As an author in this same field, Im always on the look out for new material on my (relationship/self-help) subject matter. This one does a fantastic job of covering the basics of getting a date. (self-confidence, eye contact, conversations, smiling, understanding men, attraction, sex issues, fear of rejection, positive affirmations, being accessible, being yourself vs. playing games, helping a man to ask a woman out, and safety issues) in a light-hearted and entertaining read.

This is a book you can skim through and skip from chapter to chapter. The author has a special talent for clever phrases/subtitles, useful analogies (including my men are like fish metaphor!), funny little anecdotes, and well-stated major points that make this dating book truly unique and valuable.

Some of my favorite points are:

* No action = no love result.
* When someone does not want you that never means theres something wrong with you.
* The right man for you will love you for what is most unique about you.
* Never underestimate the value of a smile.
* Think of the world as a party and you are the host. It is your job to make sure that everyone feels welcome and is having a good time.

The most valuable and probably most under-appreciated section of this book is about self-fulfilling prophecies, beliefs, expectations, negative anchors, the path of destiny, and handling rejection. Im really impressed with the research the author did in this area and she does a thorough job of explaining these hard-to-comprehend concepts in the dating context.

For the woman looking to master the first step in loving relationships (getting a date), Master Dating is a must to own. Its a far more interesting read than the Dummies Book with all the important content and the special talents of a very personable and gifted writer/observer.

I eagerly look forward to reading what else she may have to say about the other phases of love relationships.

5.0 out of 5 stars TRUE LOVE FOUND! As a man, I hope all women read this book!, July 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Master Dating: How to Meet & Attract Quality Men! (Paperback)

I consider myself a quality man. I had been seeking a quality relationship with a quality woman for a long time, but I was begining to loose hope. I kept encountering women who seemed to be playing games with my head. I got this book in an attempt to better understand women and how they deal with dating. Not only did Master Dating help me in that way, but I also learned invaluable lessons about where I was going wrong. Shorlty after completing this book (which was a fun, fast and easy read) I found the relationship and the woman of my dreams. She read the book and loved it also. I can honestly say that Master Dating not only helped me to find, meet and get a date with my true love, but it has also been helpful in navigating the early stages of our relationship. Felicia Rose Adler's analaogies are so funny and so dead on, they make her message easy to remember. I also really like the conversational style of this book, most self help books are dry and therefore difficult to digest. This one just flowed easily into my brain. I just want to know, when is the next book coming out? This book works!

This review is from: Master Dating: How to Meet & Attract Quality Men! (Paperback)

I have read many books (over 15 - from Dating for Dummies to The Rules) on dating; some were poor, some were good, but this little book is the best of the bunch. This is the book I wish my mother had given me when I first started dating. I have read excerpts to my friends and now they all want a copy. Ms. Adler gives some excellent strategies for meeting QUALITY men for those of us who are "dating-challenged" and follows up with excellent strategies for getting that first date and beyond. Moreover, this book isn't just about dating quality men - it is about being a quality woman, it is about being yourself and having fun - it is NOT about finding and trapping a husband - it is about getting out there and letting the right man find you. I found Chapters 21-25 (parts of which one of the reviewers here found objectionable) to be among the best in the whole book - the message here is RESPECT YOURSELF, HOLD YOURSELF IN HIGH ESTEEM - simple, yes? but simple isn't always easy - the visualization exercises are priceless and I consider the message here the most important in the book - in the context of life and in the context of dating - like I said, I wish I had gotten this book when I was a girl - and I am definitely giving it to my nieces. This book is chock full of excellent advice, with clear, well-reasoned explanations backing it up - some of the insights were real eye-openers - I sat there and thought to myself "This is so obvious, why didn't I ever see this?" Even with all this praise, I feel as if I am not doing this book sufficient justice. Bottom line - if you buy this book, you will not be sorry.
