Sorry, but this book is horrible. I can't believe the majority of poor advice given to women. It's as if the person wrote it 200 years ago when women need to just be quiet and be careful of what they say or they may lose the guy. Sorry - I would not recommend it.

There is NO possibility I would meet a woman who brought her "baggage" of fear, or doubt to a date zero. Good looking, successful guys will not go for that half baked chump move. I have my first date planned out in detail...drinks and coffee is for friends . It's all in the words that are written, and then spoken, and the acts he gives to her when they do meet and are together. If she doesn't quite feel right, I never go on a date with that person, because our instincts have proven to be right.

About the author
Ellen Fein is a graduate of New York University and lives on Long Island, New York, with her husband and two children. Ever since she and Sherrie Schneider began weekly meetings in a Chinese restaurant years ago, lamenting their dating woes and discussing their friends' relationships, the two have been formulating and formatting their rules for dating that have now become so popular. They have come a long way, having been featured on Dateline NBC and the Today show, chronicled in People, Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and USA TODAY and even spoofed in a skit on Saturday Night Live. Since the success of the first book, there have been several spin-offs, adaptations, and parodies of The Rules, written by other authors, but none have garnered the attention of the original.
