Book Description
Another bestseller from John Gray, the world's most famous relationship counsellor
Product Description
From first look and first date to first fight, breaking up and making up, the world of dating can be a minefield for the unprepared. International relationship guru, John Gray turns his expertise to the language and behaviour of dating couples. Asking questions such as:--How should you act on your first date?--How can you tell if your partner means what he says?--Is this love or just lust at first sight? John Gray helps new couples figure out whether they are partners for life or just enjoying a brief encounter. His approach will help both men and women play the dating game with its complex rules of etiquette and behaviour, and explains how to separate fact from fantasy in conversation, body language and future expectations. His humorous insight and practical advice will help young and old alike to reach closer understanding, love and commitment, and have fun on the way! (20021018)

Format:Paperback
This book is a real comfort to me. When I first read John Gray's first book a few years ago, I felt that he was asking women to accept unacceptable behaviour from men. Some years later, having read this book, which is tailored more to single people, I now accept that men truly are wired differently from women, and we often get hurt by things that they do because we take their actions personally, when all they're doing is following their own nature. Whilst girls might be advised to "treat 'm mean and keep 'm keen", at the end of the day, the game plan is to make a relationship, not win a battle; being "mean" hurts us too. John Gray preaches the wisdom of giving things time, of letting the man take the lead, of going with the flow. It deals with the difficult moments that leave women distracted and unhappy, such as what to do when he's not so certain he wants to see you, when he doesn't call etc. Somehow he makes it all seem as though it isn't a major tragedy;dating mishaps begin to seem as if they are less evidence of failure and more the result of a practical mismatch. If you accept John Gray's advice, in my experience everyone's happier. The only thing I would say is that I think there are some cultural differences between UK and US dating habits which make some of the advice hard to apply. Although John Gray advocates dating around until a man asks you to stop, I think most British men would assume that once you've got past the intial few dates that you won't be seeing anyone else, and most British women wouldn't want to do it. (Maybe I'm just old fashioned!).

Reading this book has given me such power! Now that I understand the way that men's minds work, I can avoid falling into the traps that have plagued my relationships over the last 15 years. It's all such basic and logical stuff, but to read it in black and white is a real revelation. A highly recommended read, with useful stuff for those in relationships, as well as singletons.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I found this book to be very useful, insightful, and relevant while I was in a recent relationship. It was uncanny how accurately the book spelt out issues I was having with my girlfriend, and gave me advice on how to deal with these issues. As some other reviewers have stated, I wish I had read this book years ago, I would not have made a lot of the mistakes I've made. I would suggest that the best time to read this book, that is when it will seem most relevant, is when you are in one of the five stages of dating that he delineates.
