Boyfriend 101: A Gay Guy's Guide to Dating, Romance, and Finding True Love

Whether you are brand new to dating or have been in multiple relationships - friends, lovers etc, this little book covers an ocean of knowledge, experience, personal stories etc to HELP the reader Succeed and navigate the world beyond yourself. If you have read it, practiced it, made a real attempt and Nothing is working - you are most likely in too small a place. Remember that the entire universe is statistical. If you are looking for donuts and the best your town has is a video store - its time to travel.

A great book for those just starting on the gay dating scene, or for those who haven't been having much luck. This book guides you from A-Z on how to date, how to avoid many of the pitfalls that gay men face while dating, and how to make a relationship last. My only major disagreement is that the author states that most gay men go through a 'slut stage' before they are ready to settle for love. This may be true for a large number of gay men, but I know many others that wait for love to have sex. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a good general guide to dating other men.

Boyfriend 101 is a pretty decent read. The chapters are not long, but very informative. The author gives advice on ways to meet a boyfriend. Honestly, it is stuff we all already know, however reading it does put into perspective that even though I know this, I still do not put myself out there. So far im about 3/4 of the way done with the book and now realize that I need to put myself out there. I need to take risks in my approach to dating.I have enjoyed reading this book and would reccommend it to anyone who is out in the dating world.

I bought this book somewhat out of curiosity and some because of the other reviews. Well I can tell you what it is is a great book to use to both understand what you are doing right in the dating world, but also what you are doing wrong!! I highly recommend it and have already been doing that to my friends.

This was essential guide for the serious gay guy who wants to settle down with the life partner. I think that this book is so important that I plan on using this as a text book for a workshop titled: Hooking Up- How to Get From Mr. Right Now, to the Mr Right of Civil Unions. I plan on getting more copies to give to the workshop attenders. Hawaii will start having Civil Union certificates available January 2, 2012. And, of course there will be officiants who will be "licensed" to perform the ceremony to go along with the legal right. This should be a boon for churches and other religious organizations. This is literally a social phenomenon, that we will all benefit from.

What world does the author think we live in? Exercises such as "having six coffee dates in a month" or "getting 10 numbers during Pride" betray just how out of touch he is with those of us who don't live in Chelsea or the Castro. For someone living in a smaller city in the Northeast where six coffee dates in a year is pushing it, this kind of advice is so entirely unrealistic that it just comes across as a form of taunt. I find this to be a common problem with gay advice books. I wish someone would write a book for the rest of us.

a bit too mainstream for me, frankly, but probably would be useful to middle-class guys

I have always felt like an outsider looking in. For the world, gay community, work etc, I was always the odd man out. I thought I was missing that special something that connected everyone to each other. I saw this book and thought, what the heck, let's try to be a part of the big picture for once!My first thoughts: Is this book a parody and it was mislabeled? If you are a total shut in and have no idea at all on how to interact with another human Not using your genitals, then perhaps this book is for you. Nothing in here at all was new. It was a list of common sense skills people should have and be using to treat each other with respect. This book is in no way worth anything to anyone. If you have got something out of this read, wow. I congratulate you. Though another read more on self help and self analysis would prove to be a better investment of your money and your time. Check out "The Art of Happiness" it isn't a book that will teach you how to nail a guy, but it will show you how to be a better person. Someone people will be drawn to, due to the fact you are truly happy and understanding of yourself.Bottom line, this book is not worth the paper it was written on. Keep looking and I wish you the best of luck out there, I know it is rough.

Amazing book!! not all of it may apply to you but its a very good book

This book is written for extroverts and was entirely useless for me. It assumes that you are already good at finding and understanding other people. On top of this it contained nothing i didn't already know unless i am missing something.

I found this book very useful, well written by the author. Since purchasing this book I have read it twice (which I recomend) and done the useful tasks written by the author. This book should be on every gay mans bookshelf.
