What a fantastic help!
I've been pretty hopeless at dating but I think I can make a fresh start now thanks to The Dating Survival Guide! I've always tended to jump in headlong and think I should be completely honest about what my expectations are. I now find from reading through the Ten Tactics in the book that actually that can frighten men! You're always told honesty is the best policy but when it comes to dating, Dr. Spurr points out that simply holding back a little is not dishonest but simply creates a little mystery. As well as this I found the tactics on how to hold a conversation, sex and flirting, body language, sorting the princes and frogs, all super helpful. Just a really cool book that I hihgly recommend as it tackles all the dating areas!

A dating guide that makes complete sense
I'm not that bad at dating but I wanted to smooth off my rough edges as I can come across as a bit of a 'geezer bird'. I found so much of Pam's advice I could easily apply to my situation and the way it was laid out in ten tactics that apply to different areas of dating made it easy to follow. When it came to conversational techniques in Tactic 2 her tips were so easy to pick up. Also in Tactic 6 how not to be a 'know it all', and I've been guilty of this,again the tips to stop yourself competing with a man were fab. Finally I laughed all the way through her advice on how to sort frogs from princes - very funny but at the same time such an inciteful way to look at men's behaviour. Thanks for this great book, I highly recommend it to all women looking for better dating.

Not just for women
My girlfriend purchased this book and I picked it up last week to take a look. Well to tell you the truth I was just plain curious, how would a woman look at our relationship and what did DR. Pam have to say on the subject. It sounds cheesy but I couldn't put it down, everything seemed to make sense. The book helped explain different symptoms of my relationship. What is hard to see yourself becomes infinitely easier when viewed through a third set of eyes. Definitely buy this book, its very useful
