Rent: AskMen.com Presents The Guy's Guide to Romance: The 11 Rules for Finding a Woman & Making Her Happy

This book has really helped me up my game in the dating department. It is full of good, useful advice for not only finding a woman to date but for also keeping her. I really got some good tips and plan to use them diligently. Another good book on dating I'd recommend is Chicks: A User's Guide to Dating, Love and Sex .

First I want to start off by saying that I am a woman (straight). I originally purchased this for myself (thanks to the Valentine's Day discount, lol) out of curiosity. Not all men are right when it comes to women, and not all women are right when it comes to men; this is due to a lack of education/false information (cosmo anyone?). I was very impressed by this book. It was written in a *guide* format and was very blunt. Bassil didn't beat around the bush about what the average woman wants and constantly reminded the reader how to keep her happy during all stages of your relationship with her. [Most] women don't want to be coddled 24/7 or showered with praise at all times of the day and night, but it is really nice to feel appreciated: little reminders that you're still physically and emotionally attracted to us. Bassil, IMO, does a very nice job on listing various ways to keep the spark alive after you've been together for a while as well as how to 'woo' a woman.

Whether you are a newbie in the game of love or a 'pro,' I think that every guy will benefit from this guide. Not everyone knows everything and not all women are the same, but we do share a lot of similarities. :)
