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."

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.

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

Summary: This stuff works, really!!
Review: I purchased this book several years ago, after seeing Sharyn Wolff on "Oprah." I was impressed by her straightforward, common sense ideas concerning male/female interaction. The book is written in the same forthright manner. I only disagreed with one idea (be prepared to meet people anywhere, including the laundromat -- my neighborhood laundromat was so scuzzy that I paid extra to use a wash-and-fold service near my office). All the rest of the ideas were outstanding. Wolff's basic premise is to work on being the kind of person in whom your ideal partner would be interested -- have a life, and enjoy it!! I have loaned this book out repeatedly, and recommended it to all of my single friends.

Summary: What a breath of fresh air
Review: if you're looking for a nice little formula for getting laid, you won't find it. if you're looking for a magic potion that will make your favorite person fall in love with you, you'll be severely disappointed. if you're looking for a new YOU that people will like... well, if you need that, NO book is going to help you.what it WILL give you is a whole new outlook on approaching interesting and attractive people; hard-headed good advice, and useful strategies for overcomming your shyness. information on how to flirt, proper use of body language, how to recognize signs of incompatibility, and so on. dating is a language, and not everyone is born speaking it. this book is a dictionary. it will teach you how to convey your intent without overstepping bounds, and possibly give you a whole new confidence that can come only with understanding. isaac schlueter

Summary: Guerilla Tactics Can Work!
Review: What attracted me to this book was the title it certainly can be hard trying to find the real thing that you need all the help that you can get! It is a practical bbook with many examples on how to make it work. I liked the bar graphs on what methods have worked and what have not. I have not come across this approach before which I find fascinating. She gives ideas on flirting which can only help; a lost art these days! I would rather go out with this information armed and ready than the usual hit or miss approach. At the end of it all your going to have to be yourself which is unique. I like the words on the back cover ".....it's a jungle out there " Sharyn Wolf seems to do an excellent job of bringing her material and utilising other peoples experinces to bring advice to the reader. It is a worthwhile read and can only help improve your dating skills which all need an overhaul from time to time. I liked the examples on who pays and the confusion it b! ought in three examples in the book which cut off communication. The empathy building, clarifying, paraphrasing seemed great if you know how to do them properly! I did a counselling course and had some counselling which used these skills. I actually thought my counsellor was the most wonderful person in the world greater than the Queen of England! It can be powerful. The book is an easy read with many ideas which can only help. What can it be like for those individuals who have been divorced, separated, single, who have not dated for a while how are they going to learn. This book gives a lot of ideas. You would think your mother and father would teach you this information; sadly a lot don't. I recommend this book because i feel it is well researched and full of real life examples which give anyone who wants to learn a greater understanding of what is possible. The ideas take time to work and all that is required is the effort to put them into practice.
