Rating:  Summary: Not acceptable Review: I have read through the book and am not satisified. It is so elementary and provides no concrete ideas. Things such as "don't travel in packs" are listed throughout the book. I suppose if you have any sense of direction in the dating game, stay away. Guys: there are much better books out there.
Rating:  Summary: Great advice for 90's flirting Review: I love the way she looks at flirting. Of all the books out there on dating, communicating and flirting, this one is the best. She has a wonderfully humorous and sincere way of looking at the whole experience of meeting, dating and mating.
Rating:  Summary: Great Author - Good Book Review: I met Susan at one of her flirting seminars and she really is a "flirt" - I can see why guys would like to go out with her. She is bubbly and fun.Not everyone has the ability to pull off flirting the way Susan can but her tips and tricks in the book are quite useful and really do work for MOST people. I've never had much problems getting into a relationship, it is just that they fizzle soon afterwards. Recently, someone lent me their copy of THE ROMANTIC'S GUIDE. It has excellent tips and advice on getting and keeping the sparks in a relationship. I'd recommend the flirting book for getting a date and the romantic book for keeping it going.

Rating:  Summary: Great Book!! Review: I saw this book on a friends shelf, I started reading it and then I decided that I had to have my own copy. I really related to the real life stories. Very detailed about conversation, eye contact, personal space, gestures & fliting do's and don't's. This book has really helped me out!! I highly recommend it to anyone who is doing the "dating" thing!!
Rating:  Summary: Good thought and design put into this book Review: I thought there was alot about this book that is very informative. Alot of the stuff covered is current knowledge yet the description by Susan goes in depth and tells you the why's of what you are learning. There is alot of great infomation in this book and I would recommend it to anyone learning to cope over realationships that have turned out not as planned or someone wanting to get into the dating game.
Rating:  Summary: Exactly what I was looking for...great buy!!! Review: I was looking for a book that would help me understand what kind of signals I've been sending out using my own body language, and how to interpret others as well. This book hit the spot. As of now, I am single and anxious to get into a intimate relationship. When I started reading other books on this sort of material, I got the feeling I needed to act a certain way...or be someone I was'nt. Susan Rabin set me straight. If you pretend to be someone your not...someone will fall in love with that person...not yourself. This book describes how to bring out the flirt inside of you, without altering your personality. I can't wait to buy her other book. Brandt
Rating:  Summary: nothing new Review: If you're totally clueless about interpersonal communication and psychology, you might might find this book to be a decent primer. At age 33, I just didn't learn anything new at all from it. I found it to be mostly trite common sense, and the endless peppiness and contrived wittiness got on my nerves. The book is outrageously mistitled. It most certainly will NOT teach you "how to attract anyone, anytime, anyplace"!!! It doesn't even pretend to teach you that. No book could. I was hoping for more ice breakers and conversation starters. I already know not to stare at a woman's body or stare at somebody across the room too long, not to brag about myself, take an interest in her, be a good listener, etc. The very few conversation starters it did give were pretty lame. I mean, who's going to walk up to somebody and ask "what's an adventure you've had that stands out in your mind?"
Rating:  Summary: An excellent book on topics that go beyond just flirting. Review: Just as a precursor: I hardly ever rate a book 10 unless I come away feeling that it was true perfection. This book was very good, though. I don't know what the person who gave it a 2 was thinking (or if he/she was thinking at all). The book teaches a lot about body language, and good ways to gauge the actions and reactions of the person one is flirting with. Personally, I learned a lot about how to deal with rejection, and how to get past the initial "hello." The book explains things called "flirt props" that one can use to approach and be approached. Without a doubt, I'd recommend this book to any of my friends who complain about their dating life.
Rating:  Summary: Inspiring! I never knew how boring i was!! Review: Oh this book is great! It's unisex, so it can apply to males or females. First of all, I never knew how boring i was when trying to flirt with the ladies, until i read this great book! They used to blow me off like nothing in the past, but lately after applying the lessons from this book into my flirtatious playtime, I have been sweeping women off their feet! So will you! This book described the "old" me to a t, and how to change from a lifeless, unlucky, bump on a log (yes, this was me!), to a certified, enjoyable, pleasurable, charming, attractive FLIRT! For example: One particular problem i've always had was eye-contact. This book helped me solve my problem, because what i always did was stare at a girl like she was an elephant that just walked into a crowded room. The girl i was after would just sneer at me like I just went potty in her wheaties. To give you a little quick lesson from the book, i learned a valuable lesson by using the term "the flirting triangle", where you imagine an upside-down triangle on the girl's face. The base of the triangle is from each side of her forehead, and the apex of it is at her chin. Being stared at is intimidating, and a big turn-off, but... if you use the flirting triangle, and glance at different areas of her face, you won't scare her off. Don't go lower than the chin! You don't want her to think you're a pervert. Just remember, don't stare!! You'll be left high and dry. The verb to use is GLANCE, for the amount of time it would take you to say "i see you. Do you see me?" Then with eye-contact comes the hello, the convos, the dating, and maybe, the marriage! Ooops! Forgot about the stork after that! Just kidding. I love this book. So will you! Say goodbye to the old, boring, lonely you, and read this book! You won't be disappointed!
