March 24, 2010: Learn the Art of Dating 101

Advanced Dating is our Relate 360 topic of the month. Reading about dating is one of the ways that you can become an "Advanced Dater." It may seem like a no-brainer, but there are some great books, as well as some duds, out there that will help you along your dating journey.

We found an endless number of interesting books on dating: becoming a man/chick magnet; the art of flirting and attraction; pick up lines; dating for dummies; finding a man in 7 days; avoiding liars, cheaters and jerks; seducing and hooking up with a hot woman; getting a man to do anything you want; long distance dating; how to rate your date; the art of seduction; online dating bliss, speed dating, dates under $5; dating deal breakers, surviving a blind date; how to marry rich. So before you buy one, check it out.

We would like to recommend the following:
