Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
If you think dating is a simple process--meet someone, ask him or her for a date or get asked out yourself, try not to come off as a drooling moron, then arrange to get together for a second date or cut your losses and work to meet someone else--well, lucky you. For many people, it's far more complicated than that and Dr. Joy Browne addresses those complexities in Dating for Dummies. Exactly how do you meet a potential date? How do you present yourself in the most favourable light? How do you negotiate that first date? (One interesting story Browne tells is of a couple who negotiated a weekend together, deciding whether or not they'd have sex, and under what conditions they'd consider marriage and children--all before their first date.) And how do you proceed from there? The process still comes down to chemistry, but Browne shows how many ways there are to make sure you get your best possible chance with Mr./Ms. Right.

First Sentence
When the For Dummies folks called about a revision to my original Dating For Dummies book, now several years old, I originally thought that not all that much had changed about dating: Dating, after all, is still about two people who are interested in one another and want to get together at a specific time and place.

Some good ideas for people with little dating experience,
By
This review is from: Dating for Dummies (Paperback)
This book is written for late teens to early thirties men and women who have little dating experience. Having hosted her own radio talk show for many years Brown developed her ideas by listening and analyzing her audiences.
Brown takes a humorous and positive look at many interesting dating topics. Her early chapters focus considerable time on preparing to date and then deciding on who to date. She next explored where to go and what to do on dates. She concludes her observations by offering tips on dating smartly and successfully. There is some bias in the book which detract from its content. For example, Joy Browne says don't date people from work. Many great marriages have come from dating people at work. If two people are mature, they can date and decide how they would handle things if their relationship doesn't work out. This book has some useful ideas for people with little dating experience. There are several better books on the market. The Re-Discovery of Common Sense: A Guide To: The Lost Art of Critical Thinking How to Date Successfully and Confidently

An exhaustive reference on dating, from first-date jitters to breaking up,
By
This review is from: Dating for Dummies (Paperback)
Isn't everybody dumb when it comes to dating? Well-known radio personality Dr. Joy Browne lays out all the mistakes - and many of their cures - in this exhaustive manual for dating, from searching your patterns for self-sabotaging behaviors to practical tips for the first date. Find out if your dating mode is "casual" or "heavy," and learn what to tuck into your emergency repair kit. Browne dissects every aspect of dating, from first kiss to breaking up, and offers many good tips along the way. We recommend this for anyone who recently began circulating or is skittish about dating. Rules are helpful, but remember that some rules are made to be broken.
