Synopsis

Every time you go on a date, you're faced with 347 "rules" on how to act, what to say, when to call him, when to kiss him, and how to play "the game."

These rules do more than just insult your intelligence: they spread anxiety, breed insecurity, make us all more cynical and, worse, when you follow the rules you might overlook your match.

In this empowering he said/she said guide, relationship experts Andrea Syrtash and Jeff Wilser help us take off the rules-colored glasses. The truth is men don't care if you sleep with them on the first date. (If they like you, they'll want to see you again.) How to find success in love? Don't trust the rules; trust yourself.

Review

"If the piles of books proffering rule after hidebound dating rule make your palms sweaty before you've even left the house, then this one's for you. Syrtash and Wilser cover all the ground between the first meeting and the last goodbye. For the most part, they suggest throwing out any rule that feels outdated or inflexible. After all, advice that rigidly employs the words "always" and "never" is often simply bad advice. Combining sage wisdom with refreshingly down-to-earth wit, this one's a keeper." - Publishers Weekly

"Their book has everyone talking in the newsroom." - CNN Headline News

"At first I didn't agree with the title, but then I read it... and I love this book. I've read a LOT of dating books, and this is my favorite. I laughed out loud, and there's great advice and strategies throughout. You should buy this book." - Stephanie Ramos, CosmoRadio / SiriusXM

"Andrea Syrtash and Jeff Wilser redefine the 'rules' -- by throwing them out in favor of the adage, 'trust yourself.' 'It's Okay to Sleep with Him on the First Date' is funny and wise, often at the same time. I can't wait to break up with my girlfriend to put the book to use!" - Andrew Shaffer, author of "Fifty Shames of Early Grey."

"It's refreshing to see a book that's all about debunking traditional dating rules.  The point authors Andrea Syrtash and Jeff Wilser are making is simple: Trust yourself." - TheStir.com

"Upon cracking open It's Okay to Sleep with Him, you'll immediately feel that you are listening to two wittier, more articulate and more practical versions of your current BFF. Co-authors Andrea Syrtash and Jeff Wilser let us into their lives, make us laugh and most importantly dole out some of the best advice regarding dating we've ever heard." - Cheeky Chicago
