Most dating books are written for women — what a mistake that is. Women know how to date . . . It’s men who need the help! At last: a blithe, bold, and bawdy guide to building a better boyfriendAt some point, every guy — player, geek, mama’s boy, “regular Joe” — meets a woman who makes him want to be a boyfriend. A good boyfriend. Problem is, unless he’s had some first-rate training (by a previous girlfriend, a sister, a mom), he probably doesn’t even know what that means. Felicity Huffman and Patricia Wolff come to the rescue with a rollicking — and whip-smart — handbook to navigating the minefield of male-female relationships.Directed at men (though of course it’s women who’ll buy it, then leave it at their boyfriend’s place — accidentally on purpose),A Practical Handbook for the Boyfriendlays out the many steps involved in becoming a good boyfriend, while still maintaining guy-dignity. It covers issues like:Who decides when you become a boyfriend (answer: She does.)How to look like you’re listening, even when you’re not (If you’re busted, just say “You’re so pretty, I’m distracted.”)Ten things never to say on the first date (#4: “I just did that to freak you out.”)Finding the middle ground between too cool (think third grade) and too eager (think surprise visits)Why becoming a good boyfriend is a lot like training for the A teamFilled with humor, ribaldry, common sense, and assorted outdoor skills,A Practical Handbook for the Boyfriendis the next dating guide to dominate the bestseller lists.
