How is this dating guide so different from other dating books? Many dating books on the market today tell women how to think like a man, date like a man,and fall in love with a man. Others claim to inform you how to get your man to commit, or even better, how to get your man to marry you. The difference between those dating books and this guide is that this one offers a little of that while also offering scientifically proven, extensively researched information that has successfully helped hundreds of women around the world. In addition, it's the most comprehensive guide on the market for single women navigating through the dating process. Shay Williams, also known as Shay Your Date Diva to her fans, is a writer, speaker and relationship coach who is passionate about helping to empower women of all ages to not settle for less than the love experience they deserve. After one heartbreak after another, she decided to go on a journey to uncover the secrets of understanding men, the art of dating and what it takes to attract the right man. This research paid off because after launching her experiment of dating over 100 men within nine months, reading over 50 relationship books and interviewing hundreds of men, women and couples, Shay Your Date Diva discovered that there are common patterns in male-female relationship that either lead to a happy, healthy relationship or a relationship of pain. Shay used her research results and understanding of men to produce two books as a guide to dating and relationships. Shay Your Date Diva also uses her tremendous knowledge to offer relationship advice to women all over the world through her radio and television interviews, as well as her growing youtube.com channel that features over 100 videos sharing her dating experience and expertise. Reviews: I have read lots of relationship books. Typically, they offer advice based on the authors' own real life experiences. Shay does share her personal relationship drama, but this author has also gone out and dated randomly and in various forms (Internet, blind dates, etc.) to discover a full range of do's and don'ts. I have lots of respect and admiration for her. I just read one negative comment by an obviously jealous woman who has lost her man or who hasn't even tried Shay's technique. Let losers vent. Meanwhile, trust that anything is possible with God who wants us to be faithful and wise women. Shay's book offers that wisdom. - By Isha Rose Shay Williams created a manual to rediscover and master the art of dating. D.I.V.A. DON'T GET PLAYED is not so much a guide on how to find a man to marry, as it is a guide to equip the reader with the skills needed to date the right person, possessing the right attitude and having fun while doing so. Williams shares how to improve within to attract potential dates and what to look out for so you won't be caught up in the wrong type of relationships. The book goes on to tell you how to keep the man once you find him. Williams shares the six human needs in any relationship: certainty, uncertainty, love/connection, growth, significance and contributions. She also share secrets every man wants a woman to know but will never tell them, which I found interesting and enlightening. The guide promises if you follow the process, you will be dating the man of your dreams in 30 days. The best advice she offers is to not expect your man to possess qualities that you yourself do not have. Williams kept the book light and humorous. Her belief is that you should enjoy the dating period, dating (not sleeping with) several guys at the same time and carefully considering what your date brings to the table and what you can bring as well...
