I always look at the articles on yahoo to see if there's anything interesting.

I was going to say the same thing - he's just a guy who wrote a book that has sold a few copies.
Nowadays it seems anyone can be a "relationship expert." And with the proliferation of self-help books out there, no wonder everyone's confused.
Here's what I think - stop buying these books! Stop reading what these people have to say! They don't know any better than we do!
Yeah - like Shy said, don't talk about your bowels or your ex or, well - these are common sense things, really. But seriously, why does it matter whether I say "... getting together next week sometime" or on a specific day? If the guys likes me, he likes me. If he doesn't, he doesn't. Wording the sentence one way or another isn't likely to have any effect on the outcome.
These people are doing nothing nothing more than making money from people.

Yep, like the guy who wrote "He's Just Not That Into You" was a script writer for Sex and the City - yeah, that's realistic. His book was at least funny, and did make some good points, but he's certainly no expert - he's just a guy.
AJ, enjoying life with C.

Maybe you should!
I just wish people would quit declaring themselves dating know-it-alls, and that other people would quit hiring them out!

That was the strangest one.
"What makes them so much better than us?"
I don't know... They can write their names in the snow? :)
