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 recipient of the Best Female Talk Show Host for 1997 award -- guides you through preparing for your first date to going on the date itself to creating a productive and long-term relationship.
With Dating For Dummies, you 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.
I enjoyed reading this book moreso for laughs, not neccessarily for actual use. Its hard to write a book on emotional feelings and actions, I feel, because obviously everyone is different concerning dating. The book had some helpful tips for dating, such as how to initiate a date, but I did not find it very helpful. Great for book for ideas, but not for specific scenarios in dating.
For me, this book fits into the category of all the other "Dummy Books" It is written as if the reader is of low intelligence and has little knowledge of what to do, or what he/she wants.
There are many books on dating out there today, that this book and ideas are presented in a way that is for someone who is extremely shy and has had a guarded life.
Another disturbing fact about this book is how the Author addresses how to make a date that's a disaster into something that can grow and be enjoyable, maybe even creating a friendship. Not everyone in life is compatible to the point where a friendship can grow...it made me feel like she is saying that every relationship is salvageable but in truth it is not. There are just some personalities that clash and cannot co-exist in the same space.
I do not recommend this book, there are other books out that that address many issues without "dumming it down".
Hey mr jellybean be positive , the heading says it all dating for dummies !!! but guess what its dating for high school kids who are even more intelligent now , but its not so bad but it may help nerds and loners ina good way to find a date , a date can be found anywhere man ,its all our hands take out this book nly for basic fun reference , dating turns out to be a nightmare if you look at it at an very perspective angle is the main storyline of this book !!!Moreover as said it so equally invo;ves the most frequently visited places worldknown in fact , park at the beach , or at the store oh gosh !!!truly not for regular or confident daters only for the shy and "dont know what a date is, ones"!!!
this book is actually about dating for dummies. I'm just glad I borrowed it from the library rather than paid for it.
I read this book a few years ago, and, in all honesty, I didn't finish it. It pretty much is for someone who has never dated at all.
It addresses subjects such as STDs, which most of us already know about, as well as places to meet members of the opposite sex, which, I'm sorry, but I've been to the grocery store literally thousands of times and have never met a date there.
In my opinion, it's a waste of time.
