A seriously good dating/life guide.

Lucky in Love... was, for me, a really good read. The author really goes into detail about how to incorporate the law of attraction into your dating life, as well as into other aspects of your life. I don't think I've seen it described quite so well. Additionally, she goes into reasons why we aren't so "lucky in love" and what we can do about it. I liked the chapters on getting real and not being desperate. But the real gem here is how to actually attract guys into your life. The technique works wonders! For that, this one stays on my nightstand indefinitely.

One of the best dating/self help books I've read, if not THE best. Honestly it cuts the BS out, the "you have to not be too available, but don't be too mean" type of advice that is typically given to women in dating guides. It's real, honest, and very relatable. The books takes you step by step by reasons most of us long term singles are given at some point (as to why we are), and then essentially debunked by real life stories/research. It gives you some sort of comfort but not the fairytale kind, rather the realistic  approachable kind you can smile/feel at even just being home. If you're tired of the BS dating advice, and don't even know how it works in real life, then read this book.

This is one of the 3 best dating advise books which I own, and I definitely would recommend it HIGHLY to others.  A fun and whimsical read packed with HELPFUL and PRACTICAL dating advise, which, in fact, I have been practicing with GREAT success!  While I did not agree 100% with all she recommended, SO MUCH of it is right on target for me that I would recommend this to all. Buy it, give it to single gal friends!

Quite frankly, this is the kind of book that should be given to every young girl/young woman before she starts dating.  I found the book to be refreshingly honest about dating and relationships in general.  As I read the book, I thought to myself, "these are the kinds of things no one ever tells you but that you need to know".  Another observation is that, despite the author's many advanced degrees and certifications, her writing style is very easy to follow; she boils down the findings of very extensive research into plain English so that you can focus on understanding the message.  The book is very much a guide that should be referred to, especially if you are single and active in the dating world.  Congratulations to Riana; thank you for writing a "very real book"; my only regret is not having it as a resource earlier in life,

I just finished this book today and "The Dating Playbook for Men" by Andrew Ferebee last week. Both have similar foundational principles and mindsets when approaching women. Between the two, Vibe is much more personal, intriguing, and the writing seems a lot more smooth. Vibe is fairly short to read in a couple of days. I would love to invest in a paperback copy, but the $16 price point seems a bit steep for the length of the book.

This book reinforces the need to take action with some specific tips sprinkled throughout. I am glad to have read this book as a 22-year old and ready to boldly embrace the adventure of life.

Thanks Dave,

I clearly don't remember how I stumbled on Debra Filetas blog. One thing I always like about her blog is how she relays truth in uncompromising ways. She calls a spade a spade and this is why I bought her book True Love Dates. It is the best book every unmarried person needs to read and I would even recommend it for married people to some extent.

Debras book is a book that has turned my thinking about relationships 180 degrees. She divided her book into four parts namely: Dating Inward, Dating Outward, Dating Upward and Ask The Counselor.

Dating inward is about dating the person you never thought you would date, yourself. This is not about being narcissistic but it is about learning about yourself. Many of us focus on finding the right person but we never take the time to become the right person ourselves. Pick up the list that you made for a potential partner and use it against yourself.

After you understand your past, your present and have a clear vision about your future. It is now time to date outward. Dating outward is about knowing clearly the kind of person you want. The author suggests coming up with a list.  A list of reds (things that tell you to stop with your pursuit), yellows (these are signs that you need to proceed with caution and greens (things that you need in your potential partner).

Dating outward is also about understanding the seasons of a relationship and responding accordingly. Another great thing about the book is that Debra says we need to say Yes to Sex, in the boundaries of marriage of course!

Dating upward is about including God in your relationship and letting godly values lead you. It is also about realizing the things that a relationship cannot satisfy. My other favourite message in this part is about dating with no regrets, where you avoid doing things that you will later regret.

The last part is Ask the counselor where the author answers some of the frequently asked questions about relationships.

A great book to check out before registering for any of those dating
sites! Butler's voice is natural and without being overly optimistic.
Sometimes things just don't work out, but she encourages you to
continue your search through other avenues.
  Also includes some real humorous (and heartbreaking) stories from
people who've gone through the gauntlet. Most important, she gives you
a good idea for which site is right for you (because believe it or
not, they each are strikingly different - even on the basis of
"compatibility" and its part in your search). I'm still a bit
skeptical about dating online, but at least I feel I have some more
knowledge before taking the plunge. Definitely one I'll recommend to
friends

I like this book's no-nonsense approach to dating and mating.  In a society, where women are convinced through the media and other avenues that marriage is the pinnacle of their existence; Why Men Marry Bitches offers up a logical approach that reminds women they don't have to sell-out to achieve the goal.

Further, "Why Men Marry Bitches" is a great refresher course for those returning to the dating game as well as for newbies.  Especially those who want a voice contrary to the messages ber-compliant women send on how to make your pappy happy".

In fact, while reading I was reminded me how I was afforded the luxury of turning down a few proposals and eventually married my now ex-husband.  As outlined in the book, the process is simple:

Never lose "YOU" while dating or anytime thereafter.

In fact, looking back, I knew this intuitively, when I was younger I simply thought this behavior was due to the selfish nature of youth.  Now that Im older I realize it is put on your own oxygen mask first logic in an effort that you are able to help others.

WMMB, offers up a common sense approach that is obviously not so common these days and reminds me of the business strategy book The Princessa by Harriet Rubin. In those pages, Rubin reminds us that people like to be won over by their equals.

I highly recommend this well-formatted, easy read book to those who don't like to play games but find themselves in one, nevertheless.

This book is excellent, especially for folks just getting back into dating again and who want to do it differently.  She has sage advice, and really has you thinking about whether you are ready to actually do online dating.
She covers all topics with great examples.  I'm on my second read and using it to reframe what I do want and how I want to get there.  Highly recommend.

For the first time, after reading so many books on dating, Nancy Collins and Mason Grigsby finally helped me understand how I was getting in my own way, what I was doing that was turning men off, and, best of all, how I could still be me and find a person who loves who I am.

If that wasn't enough, they also told me what I needed to do to really get into the game of dating in midlife after 26 years of lamenting over losing my soulmate.  Plainly, I stayed stuck and measured everyone against the feelings I had for him.  The book taught me that I could find lasting, wonderful love without having to duplicate the soulmate relationship connection of long ago.

I found the book so freeing for me.  That it was okay to have what some would call old-fashioned attitudes about sex.  That I could be open without being so afraid of rejection.  That it takes persistence like the searcher who went on 77 blind dates before he found the right one for him.  Best of all, the book confirmed my conviction that there is someone for everyone.  The trick to finding someone is to actively look.  And that was something I was not doing with my whole heart, soul and spirit.  I will speak to people who attract me.  I will avoid feeling stupid if I find they are already taken.  Instead, I will feel wonderfully happy for the lady in their life they mentioned so quickly.  I hope one day to be that lady to a wonderful man.

If you are a single who wants to be a couple, you can discover much to help you in Collins and Grigsby book.

This book offers  a lot of great tips for a woman looking for Mr Right. It covers both the advantages and disadvantages of online dating, outlining things to look out for and be aware of. It gives lots of helpful advice on setting up your profile and presenting yourself in the best light. I particularly liked the bit about knowing what  you want out of online dating and the sort of person you want to attract. Also the part about self development and attracting the sort person you are. Like attracts like, if you are negative that is the sort of person you will end up with. The book certainly lives up to the description of "Helping You Find Mr Right" with lots of helpful information.

A short, ten chapter read on the ins and outs of finding Mr. Right. Nina Gill reminds her readers that she was in their shoes just a short while ago, and outlines the exact steps she took to finding her husband, and soul mate, in her early thirties. With some beautiful cover art and a reasonable price, its a fast-paced read that will give you some confidence about stepping into the dating world with purpose.

Im not one for self-help books in general, and I was happy that this one wasn't riddled with wishy-washy believe it and it will happenguaranteed dogma that you find in a lot of books in the genre. There were also a number of things that I appreciated in the book aside from that. I liked that Gill emphasized making time for dating, but it cant become the sole focus of a persons lifeI think too many people lean to one side or the other, unable to find a happy medium. The book promotes loving yourself first, which is always a positive message to put out there. It even talks about playing the field a little while you're on the hunt for your partner, and I appreciated that it wasn't shaming women for dating more than one man at a time.

I was also happy she included a section on dating tips for people who are either shy or introverted. Most dating books seem to cater to people who are really outgoing naturally, and I felt this was something I could actually relate to.

I would have also liked to see some anecdotes from professionalsscientists, psychologists, sexologists, romance columnists.  Gill said that first dates should be two hours long, and I wondered if that was a personal opinion, or if she had come up with the number based on research. However there were lovely stories from real women in there, which was great

All in all, the book is worth the read for the price. Although it focuses on heterosexual relationships, specifically for women looking for men, I think it can be applicable to anyone in any situation looking for that special someone.

My conclusion is that it's a short, snappy read that I would recommend to my single friends.

If I had to recommend one book to women dating in our modern technology driven world I'd have to say it should be this book. The authors are up to date on how people communicate via their phones. They have concluded that a man who only texts you is not really interested in a serious committed relationship. They suggest you drop the guy who only texts and find a real guy who is will talk to you on the phone. This book contains a lot of information on the types of guys any single woman who wants to get married should avoid. The authors are happily married and want the same for their readers. Well worth a read if you are single or are trying to understand the modern dating scene.

After getting some great dating and relationship ideas from "<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Relationship-Advice-Dating-Advice-For-Women-Date-a-Man-Get-Him-to-Commit-and-Live-the-Relationship-You-Want/dp/B00RY9ZSNY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Relationship Advice & Dating Advice For Women:: Date a Man, Get Him to Commit and Live the Relationship You Want</a>" (great book, I highly recommend it) I realized I had problems on modern relationships, I really needed to learn how to text men.

I think this is an amazing book. What Gregg does best is to show how timing, structure, intent and emoticons really matter... These key concepts are helping me have better results now :)

Whether you are single and ready to mingle or trying to bounce back from a breakup, this book is a great how to guide on how to get back on the dating scene: what to expect, topics to talk about, how not to dote on an ex, and other social faux pas to avoid. It also includes a chapter on online dating (you know, to keep up with the times) and also conventional dating (ie trying to get to meet people in a bar or at a party)
I like the tips in the book, they are practical and can definitely be used by the singles out there.

I have to say I met Tracey at a singles event and she has so much great knowledge about dating that I am so looking forward to working with her soon to help me find the right one for me.

After reading her book I realize that I need to look for three things in order to find a great potential woman in my life.  I have been dating and things usually did not work out, but after ready Tracey's book I understand why and now more than ever I am more confident in my self and what to look out for in a date.  Also the tips on how to make a date memorable are great.

I have told friends about this book and they are reading it now.  So if you are wondering why things are not working out pick this book up and email Tracey she really does respond.

I must admit that I was a bit of a skeptic when I clicked the "purchase" button, but was pleasantly surprised. This book is more of a guide to dating from a women's perspective, which was very well written and put together. It is a quick read, which is good for me. I can't say that I agreed with everything the author said, but I agreed with most of it. I would recommend it to guys and for ladies to buy it for your brother, cousin, or even significant other.
