As an advice columnist for The Washington Post, Carolyn Hax has gained a fanatically loyal following in print, online, and over the airwaves with a very direct, humorous take on matters of the heart. As the number of people seeking her advice surged she began to notice certain recurring dilemmas and snags in the accounts of affairs gone wrong. As she puts it, "The letters I receive form a virtual catalogue of the most counterproductive ways to interact with other human beings. Not just romantically either; platonically, too, and professionally, parentally, and every-otherly." With this in mind she has put together a handbook of some of the most common mistakes made during the pursuit of love. Some of the Don'ts:
- Be desperate, seem desperate, or even stand next to a desperate person without a protective suit
- Start sentences with, "I'm the type of person who..."
- Shop online
- Scan the room for better prospects while we're talking to you
- Stockpile porn
- Have sex before you mean it
- Rule out the possibility that you might always be single
- Look for love
- Read relationship books

Tell Me About It
I'm a huge fan of Carolyn Hax and her columns in The Washington Post (Carolyn Hax and Michelle Singletary are the only good things left in The Post). This book, published in 2001, is not Hax at her best - her writing and advice have vastly improved over the years to become truly exceptional. Still, this early book is nevertheless quite good - the Hax wit and common sense are all there. Anyone thinking of writing to an advice columnist about relationship woes would do themselves (and Hax) a favor by reading this book first. Now, I'm still waiting for Hax's new book, a collection of her most popular columns over the years, especially the many columns that have nothing to do with dating and instead are about all the other relationship issues we all face (with neighbors, friends, coworkers, other relatives, etc.). What's taking so long? The material is there, just publish it already!
