Body Language Secrets a Guide During Courtship and Dating
R. Don Steele

$18.95 US
Click here to order

The importance of this book? Well, just by reading the few startling “communication” facts in the opening pages, you’ll want to read on and learn about the impacts of non-verbal and verbal communication. You’ll find out how this book can help play a crucial role in improving your social intercourse strategies not only when it comes to meeting, attracting and dating the “right” sort of person, but also in relationships with your family, neighbor and society.

Containing hints on courtship tactics, conversation ideas, dating and simple gestures such as shaking hands, this book also comes with forty photographs showing you what to watch out for in body language, and reveals the meaning behind someone’s posture, gestures and unconscious movements. Every single movement or lack of it, that we make, has a meaning. As “an unknown wise person” pointed out: you cannot not communicate - a true fact whose importance is continuously highlighted by Steele.

There have been many positive reviews concerning this book, which is not surprising due to the fact that Steele has used and taught courtship body language for more than 25 years! Nevertheless, Steele’s scientific approach, based on the natural evolutionary influences that control men and women’s behavior may dismay - or to put it less euphemistically, infuriate, the feminist or egalitarian individuals amongst us, as he strongly emphasizes male and female role differences in courtship. Another thing that may not please readers is the unprofessional tone he uses, but critics at WhichDatingSite feel that it makes Body Language Secrets a more easy-going book to read, and one that will spark the interests of a potential reader rather than bore them to death!

All in all, Body Language Secrets is most definitely packed with useful and relevant information, but do be warned, it will take more than one reading to effectively follow what has been written and to ensure a mastery of the secrets of body language...



How to Succeed With Women
Ron Louis and David Copeland

$15 US Click here to order

You’ll cringe and kick yourself when you read this as you suddenly realize what went wrong the last time you were with a woman, and things did not turn out as expected. How to Succeed with Women gives male readers a complete coaching session on improving relationships with women, whether these are long-term, sexual, casual, or just one night stands.

The goal of this book is not to ask men to change their character, but to develop it. The authors stress the importance of a change in behavior and attitude, not in person. Their message is that by bringing out the individuality of your character women will duly be turned on, and give you the attention that you’ve been yearning for.

By addressing gender issues, more male than female, How to Succeed with Women will show men what women want in relationships, instead of what men think women want. The art of seduction, sensuality and romance are key topics covered by Louis and Copeland, and with thorough reading and careful following, will leave readers feeling enlightened in respect to the psychology of the female species.

Relationship issues are taken further, from the first kiss to keeping up the pursuit, improving the sexual side of the relationship to handling difficult women, and from breaking up to finally committing yourself. Would-be readers, please note, How to Succeed with Women contains a large amount of information (the book is over 400 pages long!), and therefore will benefit those with a sincere interest in this topic and enough perseverance to complete the book. Nevertheless, the tone is down-to-earth, relaxed, and gives a good entertaining, if not humorous read.

Does the thought of asking a beautiful woman on a date make your palms sweat, or fill you with the jitters?

Bob Lott in this small, handy book teaches you the finer things in life that money can’t buy - the essential skills to finding the Woman of your Dreams, to attracting her and capturing her heart.

The Rules for Online Dating
Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right in Cyberspace

Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider

$12 US Click here to order

Ok, Ladies, this one’s for you - a comprehensive, step by step guide to meeting men on the Internet! Nowadays meeting people online is becoming the norm, and just like in any other “dating” situation, there are the online dating dos and don’ts one needs to follow in order to achieve relationship success. The Rules is specifically written for those who are not sure about how to go about establishing relationships via the Internet and how to get a man to fall in love with them once he shows initial interest.

The authors of The Rules have interviewed hundreds of women who have used the internet to find relationships, to find out what works and what doesn’t, and with their findings, together with the basic principles of their first book, The Rules: Time-Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right, have written this book. Read the The Rules and learn how to: be a CUAO (Creature Unlike Any Other), improve your online image (your ad, photo, screen name), perfect your e-relationship etiquette (when and how to write/respond to messages), pick out the men that will not waste your time, and evaluate the quality of the online relationship being developed.

Some may find the advice in The Rules rather head strong - “Play cool”, or even “play hard to get” are main messages to readers; ultimately backed up by proof that it really does work, especially if it’s a long term relationship you’re looking for. (Not to worry, slightly more lenient alternatives are available for those who cannot yet commit to being a 100% Rules girl…) The advice given may seem like common sense, but The Rules helps you put dating and your love life in perspective. All in all, information is honest, down-to-earth and practical, and gives female cyber daters a good, entertaining read.

Wired not Weird; A Woman’s guide to Dating Online
Christy Clement and Kay McLean

$9.95 US Click here to order

A brilliant, quick guide for women (although men will also benefit!), introducing them to the world of online dating. It’s easy to read, fun and addresses the essential issues related to Internet dating, such as communication (Instant messaging, messages, questions to ask - not only to him but to yourself as well!), posting ads, safety and meeting in person.

Wired not Weird is definitely worth a read for the viewpoints the writers pose to readers, especially as they sometimes may be contrary to what other online dating “experts”, books or sites say. For example, on the subject of posting a photo - recommended by almost everyone as a must, where you are guaranteed to get more responses, the chapter in Wired not Weird makes you think twice about it, but ultimately, and most importantly, leaves the decision to you.

All information and advice is based on true, personal experiences, which makes this book all the more credible. For this reason attitudes may be rather skeptical, but at least they are realistic. Scenarios are well-described, relevant and may even give you a good chuckle. The writers always end the story with their words of advice, but also leaving space for you to draw your own conclusions and rely on your female intuition. It’s a short read, good enough for those who just want a brief introduction to the ins and outs of dating online, and not much more. It’s one those books that once you start reading, you won’t be able to put it down, not even to go to the toilet…
