Clear, concise, insightful
This books covers all the essentials on dating including what to do, what not to do, belief systems, how to know if someone is interested, how to flirt and banter, and so much more. This seems to be one of the more helpful books on dating I've read and definitely could have been very helpful to me many years before.

Simple But Effective Principles & I Didn't Feel Like I Needed A Shower After Reading
So many of the books / content about dating & sex have made me feel like I needed a shower after reading - this book did NOT give me that icky feeling. Rather, what I got out of reading this book was a list of simple (simple, not necessarily easy) principles to apply to my life. While it focuses on the area of dating/romance/sex, I think the approaches that Dr. Glover provides can also be expanded to other areas of life (i.e. after reading the section on not taking rejection personally, I've applied this concept to career and my passion for music, and have seen where I've been avoiding "rejection" in these areas as well).The proof is in the pudding, and I'm applying the concepts of staying out of my apartment and being out in the world and am (imperfectly) applying the idea of talking to everyone that I can (men, women, old, young - doesn't matter). This, paired with "getting to rejection quickly" have been immensely helpful in just the last couple weeks that I've been practicing.I definitely recommend this book. I've also read "No More Mr Nice Guy" from Dr Glover and highly recommend that book as well.

It's good I guess
Dr. Glover gives good non-misogynist advice to men (unlike a lot of other men who want to date/marry but hate women). However, dating advice is like dietary supplements. No one can prove or disprove their effectiveness totally. People who use them and are in good shape swear by them and then there are people who use them and aren't in good shape. It's really more about the person than the techniques. He does give some good advice and I'd recommend this book hands down over many others.

Dr. Glover is great!
“No More Mr. Nice Guy” really helped me understand why I kept hitting dead-ends in romantic relationships, and has been a big step in my recovery as a nice guy and the self-sabotaging mental state I developed as a little boy. Every day is day one, and I never stop working at it, but the book really helped me move closer to speaking my truth and acting with integrity rather than being a people pleaser (and thus: manipulative and dishonest with my words and actions, romantic or otherwise.)“Dating Essentials” works as a complimentary text, outlining a way to be true and genuine but also seek out women to date. I had met my partner before reading this book, but will certainly take some of the techniques (getting out there and talking to people, not being afraid of rejection, seeking gratitude and abundance) with me in my life.Dr Glover isn’t trying to teach anyone pickup techniques or “game” to getting women, but he writes about developing character and moving through life with intention. He also lays out steps to meet women (or honestly, to just seek out positive opportunities in one’s life) that are practical and genuine.Basically: Everything makes sense and you wouldn’t be embarrassed sharing anything you leaned in this book with a potential partner. It’s all stuff about being a quality man. Dr Glover is great. I’m grateful to have found out about him. Keep up the good work, Doc!

Buy It Already
I am glad that Dr. Glover has gotten back to writing. I enjoyed reading this, his second book, as much as I enjoyed his first. Even when I don't agree with his ideas 100%, his work still challenges me and helps me question what I thought I knew about myself, women, and life.The typos that others have mentioned are there, and I hope that they improve in the digital edition of the book over time. They are never so atrocious that you can't tell what was meant.Overall, Dr. Glover's work is a great resource for men, and helps with confidence and social skills in a way that is healthy and sustainable- a refreshing change from much of the toxic "pua" and "red pill" content that you find all over the internet. I highly recommend this book to anyone struggling with these areas of life.

It all starts with investing in yourself financially and talking to everyone you meet during the day. I feel better about dating after reading this book.

Essentials Defines This Book!
I have been on live Zoom meetings with Dr. Glover. In one, last year, he stopped me mid-sentence because I wasn't getting to the point. He said, "Gerry, my assignment to you is to say it in two sentences or less. From now on." Sorry Dr. Glover, I can't do that here. LOL.This new book by one of my mentors truly is filled with the essentials. If you, like me, have been a "bad dater," then BUY THIS BOOK! And implement it's wisdom. No book will do it for you. You need to be willing to make the changes to bring about the results. And if you do that, you will enjoy the rewards. And it all starts with you!

A breath of fresh air
In a world saturated with dating "advice", Dating Essentials for Men is a much needed breath of fresh air.It's packed full of honest, actual advice that doesn't promise any more than it actually can -- you really do get out what you put in.More than anything, it really helps strip away the BS of the pickup industry to help you uncover a more authentic version of yourself... Which, go figure, is actually what works in dating.I read this as a follow up to No More Mr Nice Guy and doing the exercises within. I strongly recommend both.I'll be rereading this to really absorb the messages of the book. It's a refreshing read that, chapter after chapter, had me thinking "THIS is what I was looking for when I needed dating advice!"I wish I had this back in highschool.Thank you Dr Glover!

Awful Book. It's a completly waste of Money.
I do not recommend reading this book at all. It is a complete waste of time and money. It is a complete joke to its readers, full of absurdities and contradictions. Don't even think of buying it.

Non-machiavellian dating guide
Great supplement to No More Mr Nice Guy, which is a must read in order to read this book.As opposed to most pickup guides and books, this book doesn't focus on tips and tricks in order to get fast results (surface level attraction, one night stands etc.) as it is a mindset with attachment to outcome and often a macchiavellian kind of thinking. It doesn't help you in the long term and you need to constantly force yourself to apply tricks and remember all kinds of rules. Instead, Dr. Glovers approach let's you take of your mask and express your genuine self. That's a bold and risky move, with a take it or leave it approach to it (either women like how you are, or not) but in a win-win way.In Dr. Glovers two books I see a lot of elements of ancient hindu/buddhist philosophy (abundance mindset, no attachment to outcome) and with co-dependence vs interdependence.A good and honest dating guide for the 21st century.
