If I were single...

I'd read the book... Just to see what it had to say...

The thing is, it is a matter of how you might actually meet someone to either date seriously or not...

If you are just "hanging out" and not really looking for a relationship, then go out with the guy and have drinks or coffee or whatever...

But, if you are trying to meet that special someone, let me tell you, you had better know yourself fully, what your expectations are of yourself and when you meet a "bonifide" man, you need to pick up his characteristics--even his character flaws... And that takes at least 3 months to have a basic idea...

After the 3 month waiting period, and the man has yet to say something about the future, you need to move on...

However this does not work if you are running all over the place dating whoever, whenever, however, whatever...

So my guess is, don't play ball unless you are willing to risk striking out... You just might put it over the fence... And if you do strike out, you will always be on deck again...

I love how the 20-something American female is assumed to be so gullible that she will be attracted to a pink cover and a 18-month old line from a TV show.

Yawn.

I, too, have glanced at this book yesterday while in Barnes and Noble and some of it was common sense (at least to me) and the rest was like, you knew, but didn't want to believe that it was that simple.

I agree with AKA Monet that at least if you are single you should read or skim through to know ahead of time so that you don't waste your time.

I think the point of the book is just to be somewhat of an eyeopener to some women who are in denial about the guy who didn't call or whatever. All he's saying is don't waste your time on someone who doesn't put forth some effort with you because you are worth the effort.

I know a lot of people who NEED to read this book.

Do you think this book applies to all of America? I was talking to this guy from my small hometown where dating is different than in big cities. According to the book, "he's just not that into me," but after talking to other people from the area, they think I shouldn't lose hope.
