The 7-Day Dating And Relationship Plan For Gay Men REVIEW

From Edge Boston:

If you’ve perused the popular gay dating book "Boyfriend 101," then you’ll enjoy Grant Wheaton’s new book, The 7-Day Dating and Relationship Plan for Gay Men. This book proclaims to have you WAKE UP AND GET REAL thanks to the advice of one of the dating gurus and professional gay matchmakers and his partner Dennis Courtney.

While I won’t reveal the seven steps to becoming an ideal gay mate, no matter your age or creed, the chapters themselves are fun to read, easy to understand, and do provide some terrific self-insight. I loved the way each chapter had funny references to Wheaton’s real-life clients who highlight pros and cons, like his own personal Goofus and Gallant. I found it very easy to compare myself to some of the more unsavory examples in the book, and this made me pay attention even more to the advice and activities found in each of the seven steps.

The advice itself is fairly insightful and straight-forward. The seven individual topics aren’t anything new or fairly mind-blowing, but they are presented in a way that’s more akin to gay me of all ages. Each chapter contains various activities to help you further experience the advice, such as taking a simple quiz or making a list. The final chapters of the book contain general advice for a variety of dating situations that are quite amuzing.

If you need to revamp your dating persona, check out the "7-Day Dating and Relationship Plan for Gay Men." You won’t be disappointed, and you will finish this book in a week ... or less!
