Editorial Reviews:
At work, Melissa is a dynamo: she's a vice president at a financial services firm, is adored by her staff, and is even being eyed by her boss for a promotion! At home, Melissa is a completely different person: her typical Friday night includes a bottle of Chianti, reruns of Sex and the City, a pint of ice cream-and no boyfriend.

So, what is Melissa doing wrong? She's failing to apply the talent and skills that make her a rock star in the workplace to her personal life, that's what! Husband-and-wife team Jeff Cohen-the About.com Guide to Dating-and Carol Cohen-a senior business executive-are here to teach Melissa, and other women like her, how to do just that.

Dating, Inc. is a practical, entertaining guide to finding true love using smart business practices. Full of prescriptive dating advice, fun sidebars, quizzes, worksheets, and pseudo business memos, Dating, Inc. is the ultimate guide for any woman who wants a serious action plan for finding love.

Summary: Extremely boring
Comment: This book gets a couple of things right... Dating IS like a job interview, and it helps to go for volume. However, I just couldn't bring myself to really plow through all of this. The authors met through a co-worker/friend (really, the preferred way). Not sure how all their dating exploits ever amounted to much except keeping them sexually occupied and egos intact until the right co-worker/friend introduced them. I also hazard to guess that their "marriage" is pretty transactional (like work) and it will shrivel up and die as soon as things become inconvenient for one or the other... Kinda like one's job. I wonder if they will give their spouse a "two week notice" when they don't need their services anymore. Given the turnover at most companies (5 years and under), I don't recommend using this as an analogy for a solid relationship. For that, I HIGHLY recommend "If I'm so wonderful, how come I'm still single"...

Summary: I hated this book more than I can express
Comment: Please, don't waste your money on this book, I wish I hadn't. I have been more entertained reading tax regulations. I was trying to read this book on a plane and it was so boring I read the in-flight magazine instead. Total waste of my time and money.

Summary: Dating Inc:
Comment: I found this to be a laborious read compared to other dating books on the the marketand wouldn't recommend it,as it was too business focused and serious. Dating is DATING and should be a fun and entertaining read !!!

Summary: Fabulous and fun. Tons of great dating wisdom you don't want to miss!
Comment: Jeff and Carol's Dating Inc. is perfect for any woman who's passionate about winning in business and in love. As a fellow author Make Every Man Want You (or Make Yours Want You More): How To Be So Damn Irresistible You'll Barely Keep From Dating Yourself!, I love seeing what else is out there so I can make solid recommendations and support people in having the life and relationships of their dreams.

What I like about Dating, Inc. is that it's based in respect, honesty and fun. They're completely against manipulation and game playing (which never works long-term in business or love) and encourage women to bring authentic compassion and straight-forward common sense to both the boardroom and the bedroom. This book also gives women permission to take an enthusiastic go-getter attitude when it comes to dating and relationships, just like we do in business. Great work Jeff and Carol!

Summary: Smart and Practical!
Comment: Dating, Inc. was an easy read with smart and practical advice that I could put into use right away. Instead of feeling hopeless in the dating world, I feel like I have a fresh outlook that I know will help me find the 'one'. I love the 'cut to the chase' and 'can do' attitude in the Corporate Memo's - they are both realistic and inspiring and I find myself going back to them time and time again.
