Book Reviews of Boyfriend 101: A Gay Guy's Guide to Dating, Romance, and Finding True Love

Book Review: Generally a Good Book; Great Thought Starter
Summary: 4 Stars

A great book for those just starting on the gay dating scene, or for those who haven't been having much luck. This book guides you from A-Z on how to date, how to avoid many of the pitfalls that gay men face while dating, and how to make a relationship last. My only major disagreement is that the author states that most gay men go through a 'slut stage' before they are ready to settle for love. This may be true for a large number of gay men, but I know many others that wait for love to have sex. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a good general guide to dating other men.
