An interesting read

I just finished the book and thought it was really interesting. I have not read alot of relationship books but found this one to be easy to read. I liked learning about the dating styles, real life scenarios, and suggestions.

very helpful

This book has made it easier to understand some of my behaviors in dating relationships. It encourages me to take my own power, knowing that utimately, I am in control of my destiny.

THIS BOOK WORKS!

I was skeptical at first upon seeing this book but then I ordered it, read it and I have to say, it really does make sense! I read it over the weekend and have been thinking about it ever since. I found my category and Dr. Magids is right. You are the one constant in all your relationships (family, friends, boyfriends, etc.) so if things always seems to not work out, then it kind of forces you to look at yourself directly...and this book really helps you do just that. The book helped me to see and understand things much better. I think I can now really act on correcting behavoir that wasn't helping me in my relationships. I now feel good about my future relationships instead of being miserable and feeling like I'll never find anyone. Thanks for writing this book -- I'll help spread the word!

Oh, the joy of dating.

When I picked up this book, I was feeling like dating was a never-ending road. But this book gave me some helpful insight. I really appreciate Magids's psychological analysis on dating and her explanation of why people just can't seem to find a permanent, loving relationship. I especially liked the section on how to find the roots of dating failures and eradicate them so you can ultimately find true love. I was really drawn to the discussion on how daters find themselves at a "dead-end" due to a lack of confidence. Although she mentioned several things you can do to boost your confidence level, I can tell you what works for me. If you enhance your knowledge and feed your mind, you can become that confident, interesting person. Services like Agogus.com are great - it's quick, easy and has really interesting topics. My road to a long-lasting relationship seems a little shorter now - just watch out for those dips!
