i don’t like the many “success” stories of people meeting in bars. i hate bars and i hate people who become alcoholics together.

Not very insightful, read it a novel the recommendatiosn are either hard to follow or useless
Rating: 2 / 5
I bought it cause I consider myself pretty shy. I have trouble asking girls out from time to time and stuff. However this is something you can just overcome on your own, with dedication and practice. At least not with much from this book, unless, like I said you have barely any experience at all.
To be honest I put the book down one quarter of the way through and haven’t read it since. Too much common sense and obvious suggestions here.

I recommend this book because it provides sound advices for shy people.
It’s easier to make an impression when you have exciting things to talk about and share. To feel more knowledgeable and confident about everyday’s life, and be more interesting when meeting others (dates, work, or friends’ gathering) I joined services like [. . . ]
Breaking the barrier of silence and shyness opens doors to infinite possibilities.

A lot of the advice in this book falls into the practice makes perfect category; it would work if you dated a lot of people and therefore had lots of opportunities to put it into practice, but if I had that many dates lined up I probably wouldn’t need the book as the experience itself would solve the shyness, there are some good tips and advice here though so if you are shy it might be worth a read, but if you only date a girl once every couple of years forget it.
On a personal note I did manage to find a girlfriend shortly after reading this book, in retrospect the techniques were not needed. . . lets just say (in my opinion) being in the right situation to meet someone and develop a connection with them (mabye through common interests like religion, reading and firearms for example) whilst being yourself is more important than developing social skills, unfortunately for shys like me those sorts of opportunities dont come along very often.
