   After reading some of the reviews on Susan Page’s book “If I’m So Wonderful Why Am I Still Single?” I have to agree with whoever commented on chapter 10: If you don’t love yourself, you will place an unfair and impossible burden on your partner: you will try to get him or her to make you feel good about yourself.

   That insight alone was enough to make me want to purchase this book for every one of my friends.

   Excellent!

   Everyone can find something mindopening. This is why so many extracts from the book are mentioned above. Many ideas are not really new, but this is a good book to structure your thoughts and find out your own reasons for being single. The most helpful in this book for me was the kick of motivation that despite all my failures and lack of results yet there is always a chance to find my soul mate. This helped me to keep on moviing after some disapointing recent expiriences in dating. Now I know that ‘The mate shopping is not necessarily fun’ and this is OK. This is just part of the game. Everything depends on my efforts, discipline, attitude and activity. Now I just keep in mind the motto of persistence and follow the rule of ‘volume’. I do not hope for some magic or fate anymore and I have no doubts in the happy end.

   This book is going to damage a lot of readers.

   If everyone in the world were a Type A personality or clones, perhaps her “methods” would be useful. Not everyone can share their innermost desires on a two-hour first date… does that mean someone should veto them. Yikes. I am horrified this advice is being given to people. Intimacy develops at different intervals and that shouldn’t be viewed as a negative thing. If you leave everyone “right now” because they didn’t fit your top five criteria, you are going to continue being single a LONG time. What about your heart? I married someone who fit my criteria and quickly learned, criteria can change. But a person doesn’t.

   It is sad she acts as an expert on this subject. People cannot possibly know each other after a couple dates. What about all my friends stories (who are happily married) where one partner didn’t like them/wasn’t ready/denied their early advances? She would have advised them to bail. Thank goodness they didn’t read this book!

   Furthermore, if someone doesn’t open up completely in two hours, it doesn’t mean they can’t or won’t. It means maybe they need time to think about it.. or seven hundred other reasons. It doesn’t mean they are incapable or a commitment-phobe. I also cringe at her advice to “ask around” if you wonder about someone’s dating history. Having been the victim of jealous girls telling a man that I didn’t like him and I had alot of men asking me out… I would have to say I don’t think “asking around” is good advice. I had genuine feelings for that man and it took me almost a year to find out the damage she did. Additionally, I was dating a man and asked about him…a woman told me she dated him, he dumped her right after committing to her; so I stopped seeing him. Come to find out, nope! Not true at all. But again, it was too late. Need I go on…. I don’t think seeking gossip is the best way to determine someone’s commitment ability. Even at the most positive aspect, if I’ve been strictly dating for about ten months, that doesn’t mean I’m a commitment-phobe, nor that I don’t want a relationship now. It simply means I’ve been dating. And dating shouldn’t be viewed negatively, you actually learn a lot about yourself and others through it.

   Then (I could scream) she says ask indirect questions on important subjects! How unfair is that!? Horrible advice. Give someone the chance to know why you are asking them about religion, kids, traveling, etc., so they can know you are asking in order to obtain a serious answer.

   This book will be returned and I hope to the high heavens that no one else takes this book to be anything more than rantings from an author who thinks the world is a terrible place and everyone is out to use you…. from an author who believes all people are made alike. Misguided and just plain bad advice. Do yourself a favor and spend the ten bucks on a Mars and Venus book, at least he lives in reality.

   I’d recommend Susan Page pick up a Deepak Chopra book. She needs it.

   This author should be stopped.

   This was a great read. It was just what I needed, too. I am so glad I made this purchase because the strategies in this book really work. If you want a relationship that will be good for you, this is a must read.

   I try and read most dating advice books since I am an expert in that field. This book definitely stands out from the pack, in that it addresses some of the deeper issues that might be keeping you single. First she tackles the feelings of ambivalence that many people have about getting an intimate life partner. Commitment phobia is another issue she tackles and how to avoid being in a relationship with someone who has it. Having a plan to change your single status with actual goals and accountability is also emphasized. I highly recommend this book if you want to go beyond the often superficial dating advice.
