Product Description
Product Description
The essential read for every gay man from Dating Coach and founder of Urban Connections dating site, Jaye Sassieni. Finally, a straight-forward, helpful guide for gay men who are looking for love. As well as examining how and where to find your Mr Right, this book asks what is stopping you from finding a suitable partner? Subconscious, self-imposed barriers such as lack of confidence, an impossible search for perfection or destructive patterns are identified and dealt with through self analysis of your beliefs, attitudes and body language. This positive and inspiring book will leave you feeling clearer about your relationship goals and how to achieve them. Topics covered include understanding how heterosexual society affects gay mens upbringing, self-esteem and dating behaviour. How and where to find your Mr Right, the alternatives to gay bars and clubs, body language, online dating, approaching guys in different social situations. How to ask him out, dress sense, etiquette, body language, dealing with rejection. Spotting and breaking unhelpful patterns, avoiding unavailable men, masculinity and femininity in gay men, straight-acting or camp? Loving yourself; positive thinking and projecting a confident image.

To be honest I would normally run a mile from any dating book but a good friend gave me this and made me read it and I was suprised how good it actually is.
I'm no spring chicken and I've been around the block so I don't think any book could teach me about dating for gay guys. The thing is that, although there are some new concepts thown in which really made me think (about our upbringing as children and how society conditions us ), a lot of this book is based on things gay men already know but the genius is putting all that together in an easy to read, coherent guide. Somehow it all comes together and gives readers like me a wake up call.
Yes, I knew about internet dating and where to meet gay guys but being reminded of little things #like what not to write on your dating profile, how to give good body language and how to stop going for the wrong type of man# showed me some home truths about the errors I have been making - yes, even me. Deep down I knew a lot of this advice already but I didn't want to admit it or follow it. Seeing things in black and white cleared a lot up and was good therapy for me. No doubt each reader will have a particular section he goes over again and again.
I would say that this is a must for young gay men who are just coming out; if I had read this when I was in my teens, I would have saved a lot of time and heartache! The downside for me is the pink front cover with the heart, but they say not to judge a book by it's cover.
I would recommend this book to even the most jaded daters out there. I am won over; bring on the sequel!

This book covers so many topics, such as body language and basic psychology, unhelpful patterns and why we go for the wrong types, issues regarding masculinity and femininity in gay men, loving yourself, dress-sense, etiquette, how to meet guys in gay bars and clubs, how to avoid time-wasters and more. It provides a really good overall guide for gay men who are having dating problems or who have just started with the whole 'gay dating game'.
I would have liked to see the author go into more detail in some of these areas but then, I suppose the book would get too long and it would loose the easy and fun readability factor. I read the whole book in one night and I really enjoyed it. What stood out the most for me was the point that gay men don't have to be confined to looking for a partner in the same old places, ie bars, internet etc; in fact, as Jaye points out, there are no rules. It's up to us at the end of the day!
After reading many other gay dating books available today, I would definitely recommend this one as the best. It covers everything that gay men need to know and it's written in a way that is practical and makes sense. I imagine that this will be staying on my book shelf as a reference for years to come.

I bought this book to help me get back on the market after 11yrs in a relationship. This book helped me understand how the gay scene is now and with a bit of humour and good tips on how to meet people for date. The writer also runs speed dating and have been on a couple so far and been in touch with the guys that i met. The book has made me feel more confident in presenting myself to others and looking at my own needs and what i want. Good book to get...
