Speed dating--hah Nicholas Boothman will have you finding not just the possibility of love, but the love of your life--and will show you how to have that person fall in love with you a mere 90 minutes after you meet. Author of How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less, the Dale Carnegie for a rushed era (The New York Times) with 136,000 copies in print, Boothman is an expert on helping people connect. Now he focuses on romance--showing the reader first how to find and then how to connect with his or her Matched Opposite (i.e., the person who completes you).
Beginning with a series of revealing self-assessment tests, you discover who you are, and then discover who best suits your personality.

Then come the tools that make the quest work: how to get out there, with the Two Simple Rules of Socializing; how to make a fabulous first impression, with tips on everything from attitude to accessories; how to be charming, not alarming; introductions, opening lines, and the 1-2-3 mantra of never hesitating. There are techniques for starting and maintaining conversation and for finding Me Too triggers, plus the importance of flirting, incidental touching, rules of self-disclosure, and more.
