Think you're too cool for a self-help dating book? Think again!

The most interesting part of this book was creating a list of must haves and can't stands in a relationship but the advice to take that on every date seems a little unrealistic and a bit of a buzz kill. Plus the end result of all relationships is not marriage. Still, it took a little over an hour to read and was interesting. Not a miracle cure but had some value.

The core of any decent relationship book that's worth its MSRP can be boiled down to a simple premise: know thyself to know what you realistically want in a partner. This book, as an extremely easy read, introduced a different quality to mate selection: writing a "shopping list" of core traits, no more than 10, that are your must haves and can't stands. Reflecting on my list, and the 20 questions in the "Know Yourself" chapter, allowed me to clearly define what I'm interested in beyond "looks eye pleasing, fit, healthy and eats what I cook."

This book isn't a show stopper. It's just another simple nudge toward a more redefined process of attracting a mutually beneficial relationship.

Allows you to examine facets about yourself you never might have thought about before

haha didn't mean to click this one. i never even herad about this book

While this book sometimes feels like an ad for online dating, there were definitely some excellent things to think about in the book. It is a quick read but full of good examples of how to apply the principles in your dating life.

Very useful for those who are looking to take a more thoughtful approach to dating. I think everyone should read this book before they decide to sign on the dotted line with another. However, some of the author's suggestions should be taken with a grain of salt or two.

Excellent suggestions...unfortunately, I've had a LOT of two dates or less. I'm an expert now!

I definitely judged this book by its cover! Tremendously helpful journaling exercises I'd recommend to anyone, single or not.
