Dating Disasters And How To Avoid Them

Author: Joy Browne
Publisher: Carlsbad, Calif., Hay House, c2005

This book covers both dating disastrous guys and disasters that may occur during the date/dating process. Dr Browne, a radio psychologist, identifies the types of guys one shouldn't even consider dating (like The Separated-but-Still-Married Guy, The Manic-Depressive or The Mama's Boy) and how to spot them.

Following that, Dr Browne moves on to describe potential date-killers, eg. personal hygiene (lack of), uncomfortable clothing etc. Finally, she ends with her “Disastrous Dating Commandments”, in which she defines several dangerous date attitudes that a woman could adopt, like to Believe in Soul Mates and Love At First Sight or to Assume That Sex Means Anything.

Though seemingly written more for women, Dating Disasters is definitely applicable to men, as a manual for self-improvement!
