At some point, every guy--player, geek, mamas boy, "regular Joe"--meets a woman who makes him want to be a boyfriend. A good boyfriend. Problem is, unless hes had some first-rate training (by a previous girlfriend, a sister, a mom), he probably doesnt 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 its women wholl buy it, then leave it at their boyfriends place--accidentally on purpose), A Practical Handbook for the Boyfriend lays 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 youre listening, even when youre not (If youre busted, just say "Youre so pretty, Im 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 team Filled with humour, ribaldry, common sense, and assorted outdoor skills, A Practical Handbook for the Boyfriend is the next dating guide to dominate the bestseller lists.
