Cant have chemistry in a book

I adored the programme Would Like to Meet mainly because the three experts had such great chemistry and worked wonders as a team. But I suppose when you see their suggestions in print its not the same thing and to be fair my expectations may have been very high when I ordered my copy. My problems meeting the opposite sex revolve around freezing up when I can tell theyre interested in me. From the book I couldnt get what I thought was advice I could put to good use. This may be as much me as the fact a book may never be able to really handle such situations. But still i felt there couldve been advice that didnt seem so absolutely basic. Who knows it may still work in the end but right now I wish thered be another series and I could quite happily dump the book as it hasnt worked for me!

not sure if it helped or hindered

Having loved the TV series of the same name I was quite disappointed with the book. For starters some of Jays style ideas seemed pretty strict and geared to a Briget Jones style - for 30something women. Im 22 and would like something that really shows your personality more! Then Traceys body language tips seemed completely open to interpretation. Not sure how on earth I could put any to use in a crowded bar, dating sceario, where things happen so quickly. In fact Im sure it would distract me from conversation to think about those things. I think jeremy cam up with some good communication advice. But in the end Im not convinced. Probably shouldve spent the money on some make-up.

Too condescending!

I had high hopes when I bought would like to... but these were soon dashed when I found how condescending the authors are. I mean it appeared to be aimed at 12 year olds! The so called advice was the most basic common sense. From what Jeremy says about communicating to Tracys so called knowledge to the most obvious of all being Jays advice about style and clothes. I think I can get a dating life better chatting with friends. If you have no friends maybe youll learn something otherwise look for another dating book and hopefully it wont be aimed at juveniles.
