Looking for a Book

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone know of any books/ free online resources on "How to read straight (preferably college) men"? I can't tell when/if guys are interested in me (which I think has/will continue to get me in trouble...). At least if girls like me, I can use my mothers' Gay-dar for help .

I've just begun reading it, so my analysis is incomplete, but I think I'm enjoying Darren Burton's "Dating and Mating: Reading the Body Language Signals". It's short, much shorter than I thought it would be, but it is packed with photos, which I really enjoy (visual learning, and all). It's unisex as well, which is rather unique for 'dating' books. (No, it's not free, so maybe I'm not really answering your question. Bleh!)

BTW, I think the reason that you haven't gotten many replies to this post is because most people don't realize that this is a problem, since college guys are considered to always be explicit with their values. This view is inaccurate, of course--college guys are just as insecure, uncoordinated, and emotionally mute as anyone else--but few people want to admit this. I've know a few women who have similar problems -- my advise has always been to be as emotionally direct as is possible in the situation. Then again, things may differ for you.
Regardless of how you decide to proceed, good luck -- and remember that even the worst results of meeting people can never as bad as not trying to.
