I was a bit scared to read this.
I bought this book after running into several folks over a ten year period that were into palyamory--having more than one lover at a time.

To be honest, I was half way between fear on this and the weariness of judging my two or three friends who were oriented this way--multiple lovers. I felt their honesty and candor and approach to sexual integrity was scoring far better (not to mention more often!) than many of my church friends, some of whom were defending to the death long dead marriages; lifeless, dry, sexless "relationships".

With Taormino's interviews of 100 plus folks in alternative relationships, a few things stood out for me from my perspective as a traditional type married and sometimes churchy guy. All of us could learn a good deal from Tristan's book on the matter of communication and honesty. I've learned from this book what a joy it is, for example, to have permission from a spouse to notice hot ladies on the street or market. And to have...

If the Buddha Dated: A Handbook for Finding Love on a Spiritual Path

In this practical, playful, yet spiritual guide, Charlotte Kasl, author of the highly successful Finding Joy: 101 Ways to Free Your Spirit and Dance with Life, shows you what it would be like to have the ancient wisdom of the Buddha to guide you through the dating process.

The best book I've read on relationships of every kind
I have read more than my share of self help books but this is the most helpful book I have ever read. It started out slow - in the first pages I was rolling my eyes because I felt like it was simple stuff I already knew, but by page ten I was engrossed and thrilled. It is simple, straightforward, fun reading, it makes complete sense and helps clarify the issues that come up in every kind of relationship, from partners to potential partners, to family and friends. I could not put it down. I had an 'aha' every few pages, found it joyful and affirming and incredibly helpful. When I was halfway through it I bought 8 more copies and gave them to eight friends. They all loved it and have all given copies to their friends and family. I quickly saw my relationships to others and to myself start to change, I actively used the theories to improve my dynamics with others and one day read just one sentence and completely let go of some pain I'd been carrying for days over a conflict...

He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys

For ages women have come together over coffee, cocktails, or late-night phone chats to analyze and obsess over the puzzling behavior of men. Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo are here to say that—despite good intentions—it’s an utter waste of time. Men are not complicated

Overdue and universally applicable
This book really isn't just for women, and it really isn't just about relationships. True, it focuses on empowering women to say "Hey, I'm worth more than this and I'm not going to settle" which is a wonderful thing to realize, but it really goes beyond relationships. We are conditioned to work hard (and, as an unfortunate side effect, suffer) for everything in life - jobs, material possessions, etc - and when love or money or other things we want don't come to us, it's easier emotionally to justify and/or make excuses as to why we're not getting what we feel we deserve when we want it. Whether it's the attention of a man (or woman) or a promotion at work, the power of this book is that it tells you in no uncertain terms that YOU are the only one who will suffer if you continue to cling to something that wasn't meant to be.

The authors have really stumbled on to something good here - what I took away from this book and will continue to remember is that life is too short...

You hold in your hands a fresh and exciting way to enhance your personal life and enrich your spiritual journey. This expanded edition of Lady in Waiting includes: Original text of the best-selling book---complete and unabridged! Complete Study Guide----Learn how to apply

I am a lady in waiting...
I read Lady in Waiting several years ago while still in my early teens. I have refered back to it many times since then trying to grow my relationship with the Lord while I wait on my future husband. I agree that our ultimate goal is to be satisfied completely with Christ and His cross, but that is something we as humans won't be able to completely attain until we are in Heaven with Christ. Strive for contentedness yes, and find your significance in Him, but it's ok to long for a husband. Don't dwell on it, but to deny and ignore the longings of your heart to me is almost like denying and ingnoring the One who placed them there in the first place.

In short, this is a great read and a great example of how to mold your life after the One who gave you life. Strive for holiness, but rely on the One who is holy to make you holy, and wait on His timing for your future husband, He will send him when you both are ready.

Decent book, but not 101 positions
This book is informative, but don't expect 101 positions. The book has many variations of the same position, which gives it the 101 positions. I was a little disappointed, as there really wasn't anything I wasn't expecting to see in terms of positions that I wasn't aware of. But all in all, if your in a funk and need a memory jogger this is a good book with good pictures demonstrating the positions without being smutty feeling. The pictures allow you to thoroughly grasp the positions without focusing on the male and female organs that would take away from the real intent of the book.

A Great Guide to Love and Dating
This book is one of the best I have read - whether secular or spiritual - on relationships and intimacy. Shmuley incorporates humor into topics that are intimate and touch the soul. For those who are believers, this book really helps to focus on the analogy between our relationship with God, and our relationship with our soulmate. The principles of primacy, exclusivity, confidence, sacred moments, grtitude, compliments, mystery, sincerity, trust and contentment are simple, but often neglected. His countering of the prevailing notion of finding a "partner" vs. a "soul-mate" is one of the most salient points in the book. As he points out, a marriage should be a union like no other, and finding someone who can be a companion spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically is a pursuit worthy of our focus, care and attention. One to keep by the bedside, and read in between dates!

Straight Talk About Teen Dating If I'd only known the truth about . . .: A guide to dating from a Christian perspective for pre-teens and teens Second Edition

Written by a school counselor who talks with students about their relationship problems on a regular basis, Straight Talk About Teen Dating communicates important information about a God-centered approach to dating that is an alternative to the devastating approach to dating

about "straight talk.."
Jim Wegert has written a book that should be especially valuable for Christian youth groups, pastors and youth group leaders. He gives a fundamental rationale for avoiding the pitfalls of dating. He makes the point that understanding yourself and your relationship to Jesus Christ is the basis for eventually being able to have a truly effective and satisfying life including relationships. This also makes one capable of sharing oneself without compromising one's morality, and leads one to choose to date members of the opposite sex who have a similar world view.

He makes his case well, but could have illustrated his points with more detailed examples from his own life and those of others. Just a few detailed anecdotes in thr right places would have helped.

The book will not engage those who are definitely opposed to Christian doctrine, but should strike a chord with teens who have grown up Christian and are struggling with the values of the world.

I can't believe I bought this book
I was disappointed by this book. People who are reading all the glowing reviews on here should consider who the reviewers are and should know that this book isn't for everyone. I bought it because I thought it would be useful to get a male perspective on Internet dating. Evan Katz is a likable guy with a self-effacing humor and a breezy, engaging writing style. But women, especially over 35, should know that this book is mostly geared toward guys and giving them advice on how to land dates with attractive women.

Katz seems to have a distorted view of what online dating is like for women. He says that a woman can put a profile up and have literally hundreds of men writing to her the first week. "Suddenly a woman has a mountain of men waiting at her doorstep like the paparazzi outside Brad and Jennifer's mansion." What planet is he on??? That isn't my experience or that of the women I know.

This book is incredibly funny - and painful.
I think the best and worst part of reading this book, for me, the realization that, sadly, I've done most of these things or, being a guy, had them done to me. (The one where the girl goes to the restaurant but doesn't order anything was SO painfully true.)

The next time I start a potential relationship, I will seriously read this to remind myself what NOT to do. And I could also use this as a checklist to see if I'm dating the wrong person.

Online Dating For Dummies

Chances are, you've heard about Internet dating from a friend, or an online banner ad has caught your eye. If you've given online dating a passing consideration, you may have some fears from all those graphic horror stories that jar your senses – and your sensibilities.

For People Uncomfortable with Computers?
Most of what this book says is either common sense or easy to find out by using an online dating service. They sound uncomfortable enough with computers that they seem to expect readers to prefer reading a generic description on paper to reading the online descriptions that the dating services provide.

Their idea of backing up email is to print it out.

They say on page 183 that meeting in person gives away your anonymity completely, then on page 237 they describe how to meet in person anonymously. That is fairly typical about how carefully they write.

Instead of this, I recommend buying Katz's I Can't Believe I'm Buying This Book.

Good Book! Bad Title!
This book is well written and fun to read. It has great insight on how to discover more about yourself and what you are looking for. It discusses more about how to find someone who is compatible with you and when you do find that person, the best way not to screw up the encounter. It is NOT a book on how to date as many people as you can and have sex with them. It is geared towards finding that one special person most of us are looking for and building a long lasting relationship with them.

I would never have bought the book on the title alone because the title means something completely different to me. So I think it is a bad title.

I would recommend this book to someone looking for additional insight in the dating field and finding true love.

Lessons learned
Amy Bonaccorso wrote this book as a way of sharing lessons she learned while searching for a suitable Christian spouse. In the opening pages she urges those who wish to marry to "pursue the vocation seriously, "and base expectations on reality, not ideals. She presents her initial checklist of desirable qualities, then explains its flaws, using a personal example. It seems one man she dated met all the criteria, but bolted when she got sick. That experience led her to analyze "the Christian dating problem." She found it fraught with hypocrisy and rigidity, and the rigid aspect was apparent in her own expectations. She discovered that "When things aren't gelling, God is usually saying `Veer left,' or `Veer right,'" even to the extent of considering a man outside your faith. She also suggests that compromises can be made in areas like politics, preferences in music, social issues, diet, and interior design choices. Furthermore, two people who seem completely compatible at first may grow...

Cupid's Playbook offers dating and relationship advice to singles, with the aim of helping them break out of negative dating patterns and find a healthy, happy relationship.

The cartoon cover isn't very attractive, but the information inside is very useful if you have always found yourself going from one unsuccessful relationship to another every few years. I had never looked at Dating as serious job interviews for the Soulmate/Life Partner position before, having always looked at it as a silly-fun social thing and a way to get sex.

The book is written for both men and women, and is especially useful for those who are divorced (or widowed) and who suddenly have found themselves back on the dating playing field with rusty skills, or who married young and never developed dating skills in the first place.

The common factor in all of these failed relationships is YOU, so you are looking for the wrong things in your mates or not asking the right questions up front. The book makes you look at yourself and be honest with yourself. Often we think too much with 'the little brain' and put too much emphasis on initial chemistry (which is often...

Best book I've read on body language
Why is it that most people trash body language books, yet fail to realize there are many truths? My impression is that we don't want to admit that tens of thousands of years of biology are still controlling part of our reactions so we try to distance ourselves from the body language spectacle.

Anyway, here's some points you will pick up from this book:

Don't go where you aren't appreciated, in other words; (2) Several subtle, and not so subtle, clues as to whether she's interested in you . .. from eyes to feet to preening; (3) understanding anthropology; why men and women pick certain traits; (4) signs that she isn't interested; (5) looking for clusters; (6) becoming more aware; and (7) how to make yourself more attractive through body language.

more philosophic than how to advice
I found this book to be more "lofty and philosophical" than practical hands on advice, such as, "Sometimes if you join a chartiy you can meet people with common interests. The more you socialize with these people the more comfortable you will be in those settings" as opposed to other books which say, "go to charity events. If you can't afford the ticket go to the pre or post party or volunteer for the charity to get on the guest list." Also, the constant reference to prince and princess got a little annoying as did the typos. This book is FILLED with typing and grammatical errors. It actually makes me have little respect for the publisher who let this go to print. That said, there are some gems of wisdom on the pages of this book and if you suffer from a lack of self confidence or feel deep down you don't deserve to be treated and spoiled by someone else's money, this is the book for you.
