Generally bad advice. I found the book to be very well written, my only complaint is with the content. The beginning was good with some good introduction and very well written definition of some of the core problems/concepts. The rest of the book was just bad; bad advice and very vague in general. I’ve read many books on the subject, most have flaws in the sense that are heavily in ideology and/or somewhat poorly written, but they manage to at least get the basic facts right; this one left like the complete opposite.
As a general thing, I believe dating falls into one of those category of things that are better improved by simply practicing it; I wouldn’t really recommend any books on dating per se.
I can, however, recommend certain books that better explain the nature of social interaction in general that I personally found very helpful and have had a positive impact on my dating life:
Games People Play
Influence: Science and Practice
The Laws of Human Nature
I might have better suggestions for more specific topics...
Why did you think the book was so bad?

Sorry, I’m bad at reviews.
So, Leafcraft, if any, what book do you suggest on the subject of dating?
