Smart Dating : A Guide to Starting and Keeping a Healthy Relationship

davids@sensusdg.com from California , 6 May, 1998
Easier to read and use than others I have read

The best thing about Donald Black's book is that he talks like a real person would talk. He makes it easy to understand exactly how to go about finding people to date. In the past I have tried bars and even looked into dating services. And that doesn't work. After I read Smart Dating, I tried some of the things that were suggested, like instead of asking a woman out on a dinner and movie date, I met someone in a bookstore and asked her if she would like to have a cup of coffee and just talk for a few minutes. It worked! The lady I was talking to felt much more comfortable about talking to me even though I was a stranger because I didn't try to impose myself on her for three hours when we had just met. That is just one of the pieces of practical advice Mr. Black's book gives you. It also offers a LOT of great ideas about where to meet people, what to talk about, and also answers so many of those frustrating questions about dating, like, how can I get a second date?

Unlike other books I have read, Donald Black doesn't try to "psychologize" and put labels on everything. Instead, he deals with what happens between people. I loved this book also because I found myself nodding and saying, "yep, that's true," or "whoops, I did that one time." I felt that Mr Black really understood how challenging it can be to date and really offered advice a person living in today's world can actually apply and IT WORKS!
