The Love-Shy Survival Guide
"In
his
groundbreaking book, Talmer Shockley (himself a
love-shy individual) presents a thoroughly accessible and motivating
read for those suffering from love-shyness. He acts as your
coach, your teacher, your mentor and your guide. For who is
more qualified to guide you than someone who has been in the trenches
himself? Talmer will force you to step outside your comfort
zone, and that's a good thing! Pay attention to his words of
wisdom. They will help you find the partner that you so
richly deserve."
—Nick Dubin, author
of Asperger's
Syndrome and Bullying
For many people, the anxiety of starting a romantic
relationship can be overwhelming. For individuals who are love-shy,
these feelings can be so intense that finding a partner may seem like
an impossible dream.
In this frank and honest book, Talmer Shockley, a
self-confessed Love-Shy, explores this condition, its link with
Asperger's syndrome and how it differs from common forms of shyness.
Drawing on his own experiences, he offers candid advice on how to cope
with love-shyness, how to make dating an enjoyable and rewarding
experience and how to survive the "relationship jungle." His direct,
no-holds-barred account will inspire and educate, encouraging fellow
Love-Shys and many suffering from long term "involuntary celibacy" to
overcome their fears and allow themselves to meet prospective partners,
date and eventually maintain romantic relationships.
