Be Your Own Dating Coach 
Treat yourself to the ultimate relationship makeover

A relationship coach in a book

Ever wondered why you make the same dating mistakes time after
time? What seemed so promising at first simply dwindled into yet
another disappointment. Or do you rarely get beyond the first or
second date? Do you yearn for a long-term relationship but find
yourself drifting from relationship to relationship? Or do you feel
trapped when you really just want to have fun?

Taking a step back from your busy life while taking a good yet
honest and dispassionate look at yourself is never easy. Be Your
Own Dating Coach is an upbeat, positive and humorous look at
understanding yourself better, increasing your self-esteem, having
more fun and getting the relationships you want and deserve. In
short, it will show you how to coach yourself to a better love
life. Written in two halves, one for men and one for
women.
