Be Your Own Dating Coach

A relationship coach in a book. Ever wondered why you make the same dating mistakes time after time? What seemed so promising at first simply dwindled into yet another disappointment. Or do you rarely get beyond the first or second date? Do you yearn for a long-term relationship but find yourself drifting from relationship to relationship? Or do you feel trapped when you really just want to have fun? Taking a step back from your busy life while taking a good yet honest and dispassionate look at yourself is never easy.

Be Your Own Dating Coach is an upbeat, positive and humorous look at understanding yourself better, increasing your self-esteem, having more fun and getting the relationships you want and deserve. In short, it will show you how to coach yourself to a better love life. Written in two halves, one for men and one for women.

The Little Black Book

Smart, portable and sassy, The Little Black Book is a unique and personal dating diary for today's selective single woman. The ultimate 'log book' in which to record good and bad dating experiences, it is packed with advice - from reading those all-important signals, body language and ulterior motives to essential practical tips on flirting skills, seduction techniques and what or what not to wear, eat and say on your first date.

Information is also given on recent dating opportunities such as the Internet and speed dating. There is plenty of space for the reader to record their dates in the form of star-rated checklists covering every possible eventuality of your date. Categories include immediate factors such as voice, looks, humour and chemistry. After the date, the reader can compare and see if impressions have changed, plus make notes on generosity, manners, sex appeal and give him a unique star rating! If all turns out well, there is a section to record contact details - email address and mobile, home and work numbers. The Little Black Book is an essential companion for any 21st-century single woman who enjoys the fun of dating.

The Dating Game

Recent statistics reveal that there are more single people than ever before in the UK. Some have not yet married; others are divorced or separated. People's needs and wants differ, but financial independence means that these have shifted radically during the last few decades of the 20th century. Technology such as e-mail, mobile phones, text- and picture-messaging, and speed dating and Internet dating sites have radically changed meeting, dating and matching patterns. In the 21st century, relationships are big business, with a plethora of TV shows dedicated to matching people and self-help books claiming to show you how to capture and keep a partner.

The Dating Game tells you how it is: the pleasures, pitfalls and fun of dating for dating's sake without the jargon or too-serious advice on how to drag your man up the aisle in the fastest possible time. This book tackles the following dilemmas, plus many more: to flirt or not to flirt? When is showing an interest looking too obvious - or worse, desperate? How do you dress on a date? Where do you go and what do you talk about? It also delves into the minefield that is sex, with all its expectations and confusions.
