121 First Dates: How to Succeed at Online Dating, Fall in Love, and Live Happily Ever After (Really!)

Things you will get from this book:-The distinct feeling that you are privy to the great secret of finding "the one" (or ones, if that floats your boat! He, She, They are out there!)-Stories that put even the most depressing, dismal dating experiences in the positive light of living and learning.-HOPE! Wendy is a self-described size 16 and just as beautifully imperfect as we all are, and she found love, In fact, although the book ends with "the one", there were several loving "maybes" in the 121 strong bunch. The more we surround ourselves with a positive outlook that we are worthy of love, the more likely it will come to us.-Laughs. Oh there are laughs.-Real talk. Yes, sex, STDs, lying, dating profile no-nos. All the dirt. And you will get a male perspective on a lot of this dirt because Wendy describes her experience as a dating coach and "man expert" throughout her own dating life. I don't want to give it all away, but she knows a lot of secret thoughts that men have.You are here browsing dating books for a reason! How about a book that doesn't have any rules! (Well, except don't lie in your online profiles . . . in fact, how about don't lie about anything?) Take the author's experiences and learn. Get a little girlfriend bravery behind you.

Wendy Newman has written the perfect guide to dating for both women and men, blending her own dating experiences with her wisdom as a coach, workshop leader, and researcher of what men and women need to know to find and create healthy relationships. 121 First Dates blends Newman’s entertaining dating stories that led to finding her true love on date number 121, with clear lessons and encouraging words, organized in a timeline that reflects the stages of dating—getting prepared, the first date, and after the first date. For women in particular, she models nurturing themselves throughout the highs and lows of dating, and she gives women and men of all sexual orientations the skills and faith to find their perfect partner. The combination of Newman’s engaging writing, laser advice, and warm-hearted cheerleading makes it a delightful read for anyone on or contemplating the dating journey. I recommend it as the most positive and supportive guide to dating out there.

This is the first dating advice/experience book I've ever read that I could really relate to. All I could think was "wow, she really gets it!" And she has such a great point of view. Balanced, kind, super funny. I found it a delightful read and I intend to make it my go to as I approach the online dating world after years of avoidance. She gives very real suggestions that I think will make all the difference in how I approach the process of dating again, and the enjoyment I get out of it. A big thank you for this book!

I found this book just in time to avert potential disaster! I had a first date coming up with a lovely man from an online dating site, and I used Wendy's advice to avoid making any gigantic mistakes. We hit it off, and the second date was a success, too! I give Wendy's book a lot of credit for helping me to relax, back off, and enjoy the process instead of worrying about the outcome.

I am one of several people who followed Wendy's blog and said "You have to write a book about this!" She combines her real life experience with online dating (and friends' setups or other meets) along with the knowledge she's learned and shared through her association with Pax about the differences between men and women's communication and styles. Wendy is hilarious but also smart and insightful, with a very readable and entertaining writing style. Anyone that is entering the dating pool, or frustrated with it will pick up some great tips along with several LOL moments along the way.

Excellent how-to (or how not to) book. Filled with humor, anecdotes, and stories, I must say it's one of the best online dating books I've found. Ms. Newman is extremely candid about her experiences, and I loved that she included the "where are they now" info, and/or what happened after those first dates. Highly recommend - esp to those of us re-entering the dating world, and unused to online dating. She also gives great advice about constructing one's on-line profile.

I loved her book. Not only did I love it...I signed up for Pole Dancing Classes, which are really rigorous and fun. I also signed up for a match making service which I hadn't intended to do...but was blown away by the security they provided and the background check they do on every single member.I'll check the "dating website" now and again...but I feel very strongly that this service has a lot to offer as well.

I LOVED this book! So much fun and it was so nice to hear someone else’s adventures. They coroberated my experiences and it made me feel like I wasn’t alone! Lol

I really enjoyed the book but I just wonder how on earth anyone FINDS 121 men to go on dates with, let alone go on them! I related to a lot of the stories and had a few laughs along the way. It's inspired me to write about my own dating adventures.

I liked learning from her experiences and the stories mare rather funny but I don’t think she gives enough do this don’t do this type stuff.

Don't waste your money. So stupid

Interesting, good Book. Sehr gut geschrieben und sehr witzig. Hilfreich im Dschungel der Partnerbörsen zu verwenden. Macht Spaß zu lesen.

great read, very helpful
