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.

Product Description
Dating can be great or it can be the absolute pits, whether you′re 17 or 70. The basic story of dating hasn′t changed in thousands of years – boy meets girl and they make a connection. So why such sweaty palms if the dating game is so old? No, it’s not because you’re the nerd of the universe and everyone else is way cooler than you are. It’s because the rules have all changed. On top of that, dating can feel really scary because it has to do with big–ticket items: the opposite sex and rejection. Yikes!

Dating For Dummies is your guide to the dating scene if you have never dated, have rarely dated, or if you′ve experienced a life change and want to start dating again. Whether you′re a teenager, young adult, divorced, widowed, or an older adult, this useful reference can help you meet, date, and start a relationship with the person of your dreams.

Discover ways to increase your confidence, polish your social skills, figure out what you want, and find out where the best places are to meet your future mate. Full of essential tips and dating wisdom, Dating For Dummies covers everything a single person in search of a date should know, including

  • Selecting the right place for your first date
  • Finding the best places to meet people
  • Knowing how to protect yourself and understanding the myths and facts about date rape
  • Ditching your date (politely) and exiting with style
  • Finding dating tips for single parents, seniors, or those involved in office romances and long–distance relationships
  • Knowing when not to date
  • Meeting your online date, blind date, or personal–ad date
  • Surviving a break–up and waiting out the rebound period
  • Realizing that you are in love

With a little help from Dating For Dummies, discover how to turn what could be a disastrous date into a good time (and a fabulous relationship). Author Dr. Joy Browne – licensed clinical psychologist, best–selling author, and award–winning radio talk show host – guides you through it all.

2.0 out of 5 stars wonderful? Maybe not, 16 Oct 1999
By A Customer
i read this book with intrigue as i slowly paced myself through each page, hanging on every word. After a few hours i decided to try the 'steps' outlined by the book. I chose a suitable partner, and walked over to her in the supermarket - KaMpooM - she slapped me in the face! Not a good book, believe me!

3.0 out of 5 stars not realistic enough, 18 Nov 1998
By A Customer
after reading her section on places to meet the opposite sex, I fully reject her ideas on the places not to meet the opposite sex. My sisters, 4 of my cousins and several of my friends and myself, all met the "right one" at bars. My other cousin met his wife at work. And these people all married people in high-income groups:lawyers, vice-presidents, doctors, etc. Meeting at work is one of the best places to meet. So, if one person has to quit the company, so be it. At least the person found the one that they were searching for. Overseas in Asia, people normally meet at work or in bars. So, in this area she is dead wrong.
