Renowned dating coach, Rachel Greenwald, has now applied her Harvard MBA business savvy to the dating world.
Can you imagine how much fun she had conducting in-depth interviews with 1,000 men, asking them why they hadn’t called back after a date? Haven’t you always wanted to know the truth about why he never called again?
We certainly have!
In Why He Didn’t Call You Back: 1,000 Guys Reveal What They Really Thought About You After Your Date, Greenwald tells us men’s Top Ten Date-Breakers — as well strategies to avoid these relationship killers!
Another author asks: “Do you find yourself behaving in your relationships in ways that don’t accurately reflect who you really are?”
In Ms. Typed: Discover Your True Dating Personality and Rewrite Your Romantic Future, Michelle R. Callahan, Ph.D, ask if any of these women sound like you:
Ms. Second Place: She allows herself to be a low priority in a man’s life.
Ms. Sex Machine: She settles for physical intimacy when she really wants an emotional connection.
Ms. Mom: She makes it a priority to fix her man’ life instead of her own.
Ms. Independent: She’s been hurt before and won’t let her guard down.
If you recognize yourself in any of these types, don’t be discouraged.
In Ms. Typed, you’ll learn how to be the woman and partner you’re meant to be through uplifting stories from other women. Dr. Michelle’s smart advice is sure to give you a fresh outlook on dating — and guide you toward loving, fulfilling relationships.

I need it now because 7 days ago I met a man…we agreed to meet for drinks for the next night (last Friday) He tried for the sex thing I held steadfast. He called me on Sat and wanted to go out again (could change his plans for me if I made him an offer he could not refuse) I told him I could make him that offer however my evening was already called for. It killed me to say this. My “called for” was watching my Netflicks by myself as my DD was even going out!
He called me on Monday and then again on Tuesday. The first Tuesday called confirmed a Sat. date for the movies. the second Tuesday call was to meet up for a droink that evening. We did. I thought all went great.
It is Thursday. There has been no calls. I got waxed and a new outfit for Saturday. YIKES. Has he disappeared?
He is my age, has an amazing positon in the co. he has worked with for 15 years, wonderful sense of humor. We have things in common (I think) and it is all driving me CRAZY!!
Do I call him…what about Sat???
I just had a terrible case of “He’s just not that into you.” I’m trying to pick myself up and move on… Could definitely use some advice…

I am meeting all the wrong people lately. I need some suggestions as to how to meet “mr right”. Any of the books sound like they would be great!
I need this book now because when I was dating I was only meeting “Mr. Wrong” over and over. the men who would never call back after the first couple of dates. Then I took a long break (still there) and I need to get back in the game. I could really use some help deciphering what this all means.

I need it because I really want to be out there dating but I have been “Ms. Second Place” like the books says for so long, I don’t even know how to present ME on a date! I don’t want to settle anymore!
I really need that last book because I finally FOUND a great guy and the sex is amazing and I want it to stay that way!!

I really like the last book since you can never have enough information about being creative.
I haven’t met anyone since my divorce 3 years ago! I don’t want to do the bar scene but I want to meet someone nice. Help!
Wow – I’m 1 year out from the big divorce and would love to start dating again…without making the same mistake I made last time.
Rachel, I read your question to Cindy on your SMS blog and I had to come here and see if Ruth had some secret.
Here is what I found, communication is the way for it to stay that way. Keeping it fun and interesting is the easy part after you can get past the shyness of really saying what you want and asking what your partner wants.

I’ve seen 2 guys since my divorce. The first was not right for me, but I kind of got wrapped up in feeling wanted, until he didn’t want me anymore. The second was the right guy on paper, but not in person.
In a lot of ways I feel like I’m back in high school, re-learning all of this stuff that used to come so naturally.
I also need to re-learn how to listen to myself, and follow my gut. I know it’s a process, though, and I’m enjoying the ride!!
I need it because I’ve been single for 2 1/2 years now and am finally feeling ready to put myself back out into the dating world. I can use all the help I can get!

I haven’t had sex in over a year. ‘Nuff said.
Divorced Lifestyle’s last blog post..Look, look!
I need all the books and the coach . . . not to get me back in the game. . . just to stay out and maintain my position as a Woman Who Has it going on! ( they can have the drama )
I need a great, steamy read because I’m a 40++ year old, full time student and working single mom, divorced for over 2 years– who is about to finish another degree. What better way to say “Congratulations” than a book to read for pure pleasure? I’ve had very little time to date since my divorce and it hasn’t been all that much fun, frankly.
delete my previous post.
We had a sat. night date. I bought a new outfit on Friday. Sat. it was raining so I bought another new outfit for the rain.
He stood me up. I don’t want any advice thanks. I want to wallow.
Judy: what the heck?… Did he forget his umbrella? Seriously, this makes me mad. I want to find this guy….
I was married to my daughter’s father by the time I was 22 years old (in a relationship with him since 19 years old). At 33 I found myself a single mom to an 8-month old. Yes, I’ve been single for 3 years now and have learned A LOT during that time, but I also know I have A LOT more to learn! I missed out on sooo much!
Think of this- MY ENTIRE 20′s I was with my X-husband! I was committed to him before I could go to a bar! I didn’t do all the dating and learning about relationships that others did in their twenties!
Just a couple of the bigger mistakes I’ve made!–I’ve actually “dated” a man to find out we weren’t “dating” at all! And thought I was simply “hanging out” with someone and apparently we were “in a relationship”! I’ve learned to be very clear about what expectations are now!
Okay, so I’ve gotten better since then, but I’m still not up to par! Trust me- I need all the help I can get!
Based on my track record, I need all the advice I can get! Hopefully my divorce will be final this week and I’m ready to MOVE ON! I have an amazing man in my life right now but just trying to figure out where we go from here…meaning where I want to go with it. Fun times!
Wondermom’s last blog post..Not my usual post
Well, I thought I would be ok but it SUCKS. He clearly wanted a blow job so it is great I did not give in cause I would be in this same spot only worse. We will cross again as we live about 2 miles apart, share some common interest and imbibe at the same bar at times.
The red flags were there especially when I asked him if he were a “bad boy” or “player” and his response was that he was a good guy who sometimes made bad decisions.
Just the hint of a boyfriend prospect can be more emotionally draining than actually having one.
Will I ever have sex again? I’ve been single since my former husband and I separated 3 years ago when our daughter was 2. Now that I have been plunged into the real world of meeting strange men, I come across two extremes. Momma’s boys who never left home and have “zero” moves, or male tramps who just want to get lucky (who also have “zero” moves.) Help me!

Oh, noes! Judy~ I’ve been on a thousand first dates, and believe me, if you can simply look at it as an exercise in social rehearsal, you’ll enjoy it more. Nearly two years of dating and I finally think I found the One… even though he wears baseball caps, lives 40 minutes away and is three years younger than I…
You just never know. Chuck that guy in the bin and find a better first date.
Personally, I want to crack the seals on that last book!~~ oo la la

I’ll toss my hat in the ring. I’m finally to the point where I think I have my family life and work life to the point where I can start thinking about more than tomorrow. I’m beginning, dipping my toe in the water, to think that maybe I might be ready to start looking for a relationship. Maybe…Some days I think, what am I thinking…others I feel sure I’m ready. So, I could use these books so when I do go out, I know what to do and what not to do!
‘cuz my love life is in the crapper!!!! lol. I haven’t been in a productive relationship since my daughter’s father and I were dating EIGHT years ago. Yes, I’ve had sex with guys, some good, some not so much and I am at a point in my life where I want a loving, emotionally based relationship. And to be quite honest, I’ve forgotten how to do that. I purchase books often to help me with my dilema. I want some steady man meat with a heart attached!!!! lol
BTW…first time to your site and I’m lovin it. ; D
Because I haven’t had sex (or even a date for that matter), in so very long that I think my body will self-repair and I will become a re-virgin very soon.

I agree with using the hi tech approach especially reading profiles and paying attention to courtesy. I want to know what kind of person has written the profile. It’s paid off for me with a few great dates. Hopefully the next one will be a keeper:)
