The Art of Small Talk: Because Dating’s Not a Science—It’s an Art

Marriable

by Hayley DiMarco, Michael DiMarco

In 2005, Hayley and Michael DiMarco helped take the desperate out of dating with Marriable. Now they continue to help adult singles with essential dating topics to expose and eliminate their desperate dating habits. The Art of Small Talk teaches singles how to start a conversation and keep one going; how to communicate in those sometimes uncomfortable dating situations (i.e. meeting the parents); and when and when not to talk about marriage, kids, your exes, and more. The Art of the Chase talks with men about how to skillfully pursue women and with women about how to encourage and enjoy the chase. These engaging books offer another shot of wisdom about the art of dating.

Reviews

[Jennifer Worrell · Rating 3 out of 5]

The best part about this book is the list of questions that you can bring up to start up some small talk. There are some pretty sexist things in here, however, like how men really want a woman who does not take the lead, because then they just look like sexual aggressors that lack mystery, and then the chase is over.
