Barbara Bloomfield has written a superb book. Previously, surprisingly little has been written specifically for people who are new to the 'dating scene', having spent a large chunk of their life in a relationship. There is a myriad of information dating from the young, free and single perspective, but this book is perfect for anyone 'shaken up' by divorce or splitting up. When a long-term relationship or marriage goes sour, it can be extremely difficult from practical and emotional standpoint to get out there and meet someone. This book comforts by addressing all the issues.
It's reassuring, realistic and offers hope to anyone ready to take the first tentative steps towards finding not just another relationship, but love. A section of the book is given over to 'knowing yourself' and attitudes to self. Confidence and being comfortable which who you are - both are paramount in moving one's life along. Barbara explains this sensitively. It's metaphorical hand-holding at its best, and it feels as if Barbara is there by your side as you take the path towards love.

As a TV dating expert, I know how tough it is to get back out there and date when you've been in a relationship for a long time. I think this book is really lovely if you find yourself back in the dating pool after many years of being in a relationship. Barbara Bloomfield is a talented writer and explores every option. Some of her suggestions might not be palatable to all readers (such as using a dating agency) but overall she offers some very helpful advice. A worthwhile read.

No one can actually guarantee finding love but I've no doubt that a reader following the advice in the Relate guide would be on the way to rollocking good social life. The book is a modern approach to the subject, emphasizing the role of the internet. It also gives guidance on current etiquette, noting that these days it is acceptable and even usual for woman to take the initiative when dating men.
At times I found the ultra practical approach a little disconcerting - as if love is just another commodity to be searched for. But sections of the book delve deeper, examining patterns of relationships. A central concept is that a positive and loving attitude to oneself is necessary for to successful interactions with others.
The book is enlivened with plenty of anecdotes about dating and relationships and refreshingly uses many non-heterosexual examples. It avoids making the assumption that all readers will be looking for monogamous live-in relationships.
Above all the writing is compelling, weaving various strands of knowledge together - particularly psychology and life coaching. It is clearly well researched and the author provides a wise, optimistic and encouraging guide to the process of finding a partner. Even if you are too contented or self-sufficient to be looking for love this is damn good read. For the rest of us it is an essential guide.
