Single....but looking?

Why is it that so many bright, interesting, good-looking, and fun-to-be-with people spend their Saturday evenings watching late-night movies all by themselves?

It's easy to blame jobs, demographics, bad luck, lack of energy, or any of a hundred other factors. But the fact is, most of these people simply haven't learned the art of meeting others. 50 Ways To Find A Lover is the book-featured on "Oprah!", "Donahue," "Sally Jesse Raphael," and "The Today Show"-that proves once and for all that meeting people is not an innate ability, but a skill...a skill you can master. In addition to covering essentials like flirting, starting and continuing a conversation, and giving and reading visual signals, 50 Ways To Find A Lover offers proven ways to meet someone. The new second edition features a unique Action Plan checklist summarizing the many steps you can take by following the plan outlined in this book. Examples include:

Carrying a "conversation peace"
Attending an auction
Volunteering for your local public broadcasting seminar
Walking the dog-even if you have to borrow one
Throwing a "non-significant-other" party

A very nice and helpful book

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2019

I found this book in a recycling bin over 10 years ago when I was a teenager, and picked it up as a gag. It ended up actually being pretty helpful! We aren't taught enough stuff about dating and relationships, and this book was really positive and affirming for me as a youngster. I lost that copy a long time ago, bought a new one, and it's still a good book! Some of the advice is really dated, like handing out your business card or using your pager to your dating advantage, but other stuff, like being positive, giving people a second chance in case they're nervous on the first date, and trying new activities, is super helpful. The tone is friendly and funny, and it never feels like a therapist talking at you.

I wouldn't be married to my wife of 23 years had I not bought this book in 1991 and used some of its suggestions.

Review of '50 Ways to Find a Lover'

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2000

This book is worth its weight in platinum! It is easy to read (I read the book in 1 day) and the principles are explained in an easy to understand manner. I went out that night to exercise the principles explained in the book. It was one of the most successful nights of my social life, and the best night I have had in years! I met eight women, five of whom I found particularly interesting (and attractive!), and who are apparently interested in me. I also met some interesting guys, and had a great time talking about sports with them. I am planning on meeting most of these people at the same place in the near future. If you are having difficulty "clicking" with members of the opposite sex, read this book and practice the principles it describes. I hope you will be as successful as I was! If you are, then write an editorial like this, please!

No Luck

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2002

Let me start off by saying, the title of the book should be reworded. Let's take the words "Proven Techniques" for example. The book has a lot of success stories, I'll admit, but it really doesn't have nothing a person like myself can follow that I haven't already tried.
Some of "Proven Techniques" seemed kind of berzerk. Like when the book says to ask your parents to keep an eye out and an ear open. First of all, my mom and dad are the last people on earth I'm going to ask to keep an eye or ear out for a potential. If my mom overhears that some girl my age is single, then goes to her and says "my son is single" or "you and my son would make a great couple," what is going to be her first thoughts?....... (Her son must be real desperate to ask his parents for help).
Every book has a bad side, but there is always one piece of information you can take from any book. If your unfamiliar with dating services, online dating, meeting women in public, etc. etc. this book can prepare you so you know what to expect (keep in mind that it's not always good, eventhough the book has a lot of good in it).
I want to end my review on this note, the first thing I think about when I see "Proven Techniques" is, What is the success percentage of these "Proven Techniques"? Let's take a success story of Joe Schmoe and Jane Doe.
Joe Schmoe was a shy guy who didn't get out much and Jane Doe was almost the same, one day these two (without knowing each other) decided to go out to the same bar. Joe was with his friends drinking and Jane was doing the same with her friends. One of Joe's friends says, "Hey, that girl over there keeps checking you out" and one of Jane's friends says the same. Joe's friends nag Joe until he builds up the courage to go introduce himself. Then all of the sudden, he does it, he introduced himself, then Joe and Jane live happily ever after.
Then down the road some author can write about this "one" success story in a book (no need for a title), where you can read a Chapter titled, Meeting That Special Someone In A Bar, but keep in mind, if the author hears "one, I mean 1" success story, the author will not be lying when the author says meeting in a bar is a "Proven Technique."
My advice is, think to yourself "What is the success percentage of that show Blind Date?" Watch the show one week, Monday through Friday, there is always two dates per show so that equals ten dates for the week. The percentage rate of successful dates for that show is under 10%. Maybe, just maybe, in two weeks of watching the show there will be one successful date, keep that in mind.

quite good ideas but only some will work

Reviewed in Germany on July 11, 2001

Verified Purchase

the book is well written and contains a lot of really good ideas. i'm sure they will help a lot of people. nevertheless, for myself it didn't work too well, maybe because i live in germany where people behave and react differently and small talk isn't used so much as in the US. i didn't really get an answer what to do if i already know and practice a variety of the given ideas and they still don't work satisfactorily. still, for people who haven't thought much about trying out new approaches to get in contact with new people, the book provides a lot of ideas.
