I’m enjoying this book
The media could not be loaded. So far so good. i’m really enjoying what I’ve read so far. And the book has actionable items in it, which I like gives you a list of things to do. And the books not too serious, which I also appreciate.

Good book but single men should look elsewhere
A lot of dating advice is entirely general. This book has a lot of good general advice about how to evaluate the person in front of you.What this book has:- advice on how to avoid hookups- advice for evaluating your first/second dates- 3 ways your expectations could be wrong- and some general advice good LTR habits and traits- a small chapter on how to meet people IRL- advice on how to break upWhat this book does not have:- How to attract interest especially long term interest- How to advertise yourself- How to approach people- A single "straight male" example (she constantly references a homosexual man though)Now sure it's probably useful to know that I was definitely a "hesitater" for the past few years and evaluating people for their long term potential is surely a skill to have. But I am not regularly being swept off my feet by short term dating opportunities, the only people who are interested in nerdy software engineers in the first place are long term seekers. Genuinely in my experience with dating I only attract those who are looking for committed long term relationships, so very little of what this book has to offer is all that useful.My primary issue is not that I don't have a lot of value to provide a partner or that I am evaluating my dates incorrectly. It's entirely that I am not interacting with enough single women and have forgotten my college skills of turning chance encounters into dates.I was absolutely rolling my eyes as she recounted her tale of ignoring her now husband for years on end to chase after some sexy dude.I would absolutely love if a ton of women read this book, and the science-y high citation focus is great. But I guess I'll look for books written by male psychologists.

Great advice
I love this book. She gives great advice. It's easy to follow with funny jokes that made me laugh out loud. Right away I was able to spot the characteristics being described in people I know and discover what traits I have that have been holding me back. I highly recommend.

Practical advise to find and thrive in a relationship
This book offers clear, science-based advise on how to deal with different stages of finding and thriving in a relationship. From tips to get in the right focus to find a partner, to tips on how to meet them, how to decide whether to breakup or stay, and even how to keep a relationship in the long term. The practical advise/tools are very useful and the behavioral science backing them up is clear and simple.That being said, the book feels sometimes like a toolset to be used when needed. The line connecting the different chapters is weak as each stage seems to use a different theoretical approach. This makes the advise fragmented so something you use as needed rather than a perspective you can use continually. If your situation is a bit different from the one covered in the book, you might have little guidance. Also because of the lack of a common framework it is a bit hard to keep everything in mind as you read the book. Still it is useful as a toolset that covers most stages in romantic life from a rational science based perspective
