Published or Reader Reviews

“Enhanced with a bibliography, a resource guide, an a "user friendly" index, 125 Ways To Meet The Love Of Your Life by relationship and workplace expert Jan Yager is a 187-page guide to finding and keeping just the right spouse for you. Jan draws upon her extensive and original research (including dozens of interviews with men and women about how they found their mate) as well as businesses offering in-person and online dating or matchmaking services, and that enduring phenomena known as the "singles club". Divided into nine categories of access to potential mates (ranging from introductions by family and friends, to travel, parties, matchmakers, personal ads, and more), 125 Ways To Meet The Love Of Your Life is confidently recommended to any man or woman who is tired of living alone and ready to meet and match that one special person with whom they could spend the rest of their lives.”

“As one of the country’s leading relationship experts, Dr. Jan Yager is a person who has been there (single) and done that (found the love of her life!). Even if you’ve tried everything, you’ll find this book chock-full of refreshing recommendations. By following Yager’s advice you’re bound to meet “Mr. or Ms. Right.” The chapter written by her husband Fred is sure to instill in you extra hope that your "one" is searching just as hard for you as you are for him or her.“

"125 Ways To Meet The Love Of Your Life is a great book! I love the part about how the author went about meeting her future husband. I also totally agree with Jan Yager that if you want to meet someone, you need to go out and look, and be specific about what you want. While you can't always control your own heart, you can increase the odds and this book is a great way to do that. I'm recommending it to all my single friends!"
