Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Solid, comprehensive overview of dating issues
Review:

I recommend the purchase of this book.

Generally, I suggest that everyone be skeptical about books which profess to offer advice on dating since the singles market attracts vendors offering miracle cures and junk to needy people.

I am pleased to say that Guerrilla Dating Tactics does not fall into that category.

This book is packed with good advice on all of the basic issues and is applicable to anyone seeking a mate. The intended audience is men and women in general, so it does not deal with issues specific to certain genders at certain ages.

The coverage of the material is thus at a medium depth. No magical revelations or miracle cures are offered, just good common sense. The value is that it reviews all of the issues so that you can think about them and consider your own strategies, tactics, and behavior. It is also a fun, upbeat, energizing read. It makes you want to get out there and experience the adventure of dating!

I also recommend Richard Gosse's book How to Find a Lasting Romantic Relationship. The two books complement each other nicely.

For younger men (and anyone) I suggest Warren Farrell's Why Men Are the Way They Are for an explanation about why persistence and assertiveness are crucial to your success (as well as valuable insight into male behavior). I also recommend Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead.



Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good for inspiration
Review:

This is really a great book as long as you don't read it as though it was a cookbook -- following instructions exactly. A lot of it is common sense, which is still useful because who uses their common sense when looking for a date?
Mainly, though, it's the little stories and examples that make this a great book. Inspirational.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Stick with Naomi Wolf
Review: A feel-good book for women. Not as vague as some but the male input must have been gathered at one of those flirting seminars. Its very positive and well intentioned but this really is for women only. "Think of yourself as a ray of sunshine melting ice" "Wear sultry hats". Please.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Another List of Obvious Suggestions
Review: Although it always helps to read new ideas, or even old ones you haven't considered for a while, this book hardly lives up to its title or its promise. The so-called 'tactics' are nothing more than the common-sensical approaches that everyone ought to take in the dating game, and they don't so much give an upper hand to the reader, as render a level playing field to all involved. The self-help content of this book, therefore, is limited at best, but if you're a really socially uneducated or underdeveloped person, this book is as good a place as any to start. What's missing, is a more clear outline of HOW to bring the strategies in this book into practice. Bland advice like "be confident" is about as useful to the lonely and insecure partner-seeker, as would be, for example, "grow wings" or "double your income."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a breath of fresh air
Review: Coming out of a long relationship freaked me out. I didn't know what to do first. I'm a good guy, but a clueless guy. This book gave me so many ideas--but, more than that, it made me laugh out loud. I felt educated and relaxed and no longer as anxious about getting out there. I won't say that everything has been a breeze, but I will say that I am much more comfortable with dating and, most importantly, with myself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great fun, great tips
Review: Dating stinks, but this book is fun. It doesn't seem like the typical self-help shtick. The stories are funny and smart, and I laughed a lot reading it. I especially liked the chapter on Cyber-flirting because I'm starting to try that, and I had a lot of questions about it. Well, if you are trying to meet the right one, I think you might like this book, too.

Summary: How To Find a Good Date, Plan a Good Date, BE a good date
Review: Guerrilla Dating Tactics is a collection of true tales from the dating front provided by people from all over the United States who have attended Sharyn Wolf's relationship seminars. In this book you will learn: *The Perfect Ice breaker for Parties, chance encounters, standing in line...or anywhere you see someone you want to meet * Eye contact do's and don'ts--the best move when the "eyes" have it * Small Talk, Mid Talk, Deep Talk--mastering multiple levels of converstaion with someone new * The new etiquette for who calls and who pays *Guidelines for intimate encounters without compomising safety *Flirting strategies for both sexes * How to take a risk that makes you feel good about yourself *How to laugh while you look--and much more. Printed in five languages, Guerrilla Dating Tactics has sold over 150,000 copies and continues to sell. If you enjoy this book, look for Sharyn Wolf's next book, due out in May, called "How To Stay Lovers For Life." Sharyn Wolf, CSW, has made eight appearances on Oprah, and her book has been optioned by Big Town Productions to develop as a feature film for the actor, Bill Pullman.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Absolute Must-Have!
Review: I don't know what I would have done without this book after a bad break-up two years ago. Sharyn Wolf does a good job of helping you get over your fears when it comes to meeting new people. I haven't had a chance to check out the latest edition of the book, but it does look interesting.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Saved my life, 16 yrs-no dating, having the time of my life
Review: I had a bad divorce, didn't want to date again - ever! This book was recommended to me and I read it in two nights. Lots of stuff for people of every interest level. It gave me the courage to give dating a try again and not feel bad about rejections, they are just a learning experience. It has changed my life from a dull boring life to a fun experience, and who knows, I may find Mr. Right while doing it. Give it a try if you are single, it COULD work for you too
