Common sense, but...
This book begins very well, with the intelligent observation that we "choose to be in love", and moves through various concepts with a wealth of well-observed common sense. Where it fell down most abruptly was with reference to what comes after kissing, becoming coy and indirect and concluding that anything further must wait until marriage, because "of course you want to get married!" and that any relationship outside of marriage is doomed... At this point, I immediately turned to look at the religious credentials of the authors, and was unfortunately not disappointed.

I also feel that it was all very well coming up with tactics which could be grouped together under the "keep 'em mean, keep 'em keen" variety, but there wasn't any advice on when to capitulate and become truly honest.

Skimmed the top of a fascinating subject but lacked depth.

Why so many of you give this book 5 star??
I read many of the reviews on amazon and was very looking forward to reading it. However as I started reading the book I became really disapponited. All of the contents are so common sense. It is not helpful to me at all! I hope there is really a book out there can tell us how to win the heart of the ones we love!

All common sense stuff
I dont feel as bowled over by this book as the other reviewers. To me, most of the tactics contained within the book were common sense, and nothing that I hadnt read before to be honest. I started to lose faith at the latter sections where it seems to conclude that to 'treat em mean keep em keen' is the way to go. That was under the guise of 'Shaking their confidence'. I just cannot understand that the author thinks its okay to give someone the silent treatment if you dont like the way they are treating you?!! Why not just tell them! Giving someone the silent treatment, as far as im concerned, is downright childish and I dont think it has any place in adult relationships. But then thats just my opinion. The whole thing just seemed like playing a game. Love is not a game - just use your common sense.
