With laugh-out-loud mishaps and heartfelt advice, bestselling romance author Brenda Rothert shows readers that while dating these days can be the worst, great men aren’t just fictional.Ladies, we’ve all been there…a good first date is wrapping up and we’re sure a second date is likely after a great goodnight kiss beside our car. He’s tall, funny and charming. FINALLY a good one. He asks to get in … FINALLY a good one. He asks to get in the car, which seems natural since it’s cold outside. And then, once inside, another kiss, and he exposes himself and asks us if we like his wiener.
Wait, what? You haven’t been there? Guess that one only happened to me. What about the guy who spends most of a first date complaining bitterly about his ex-wife? The one with the guy who cops to his criminal record over dessert?
Dating these days can leave a girl frustrated and disgusted. But fear not, I’m here to help. I’m a veteran dater, having spent a fair amount of time in the cheap-cologne scented trenches. And while I am admittedly not an expert, I can help you avoid my mistakes.
I’ll show you how to prepare yourself for dating, how to spot the red flags and how to laugh off the misadventures you will inevitably have. And hopefully, how to avoid an awkward wiener encounter of your own.

4 Star Review Do You Like My Weiner? A non-expert’s no-nonsense guide to dating by Brenda Rothert
I have to say that the title really grabbed my attention and I was so intrigued that I happily put my hand up to review. First and foremost this is not a romance book; it is non fiction and was an entertaining read. Do You Like My Weiner? is a book with dating advice,tips and is as it states, a guide to dating.
Although a very quick read it was interesting and many of the recommendations I would look at following if I was single.
There were numerous laugh out loud moments whilst reading this book. As with previous books I have read from Brenda Rothert I found the writing to be strong and very informative. It certainly gave me pause for thought on relationships and what I would be confronted with should I find myself dating again.
To be honest I am glad that I am not doing the dating scene (married for 34 years so far) as I am not sure I would be brave enough.
I read this book because I thought the title was humorous. I thought the advice given was helpful and appropriate. I found a lot of the situations the author and/or her friends had been through were hilarious. I’m sure dating in this time and age is hard to do with today’s technology. I will be recommending this book to my friends that are entering in to the dating world.
I am a happily married, middle aged (stfu – when did this happen) woman and no longer find the need to date (see part about being happily married) and I very much enjoyed DO YOU LIKE MY WIENER? I could relate on so many levels and wish this wisdom were available for me when I was in my 20’s. Perhaps it was, but it wasn’t written as witty as: “Your partner should be your biggest supporter, and your shoulder to cry on” and “if you keep doing what you’ve always done you will keep getting what you’ve always gotten”. Such sage advice which seems so obvious now (again, it’s the middle aged part that I attribute it to).
I think Brenda Rothert has the perfect mix of “non-expert” advice, humor, wisdom and self knowledge to make this book a great book to read. It’s easily read, can be put down between chapters if needed and I’m sure can be referred to over and over again. I’m personally going to buy a few copies, highlight the sh it out of it and pass it on to my single friends. Then when they call and mention that someone asked for a BJ on the first date AGAIN, I can tell them to read the damn book 🙂
I’m also going to remind my friends that they “have amazing qualities that will enhance a good relationship”, they just have to figure them out.
Ok, so maybe I will just hand the books over without any highlights because then it might all just be yellow highlights with an occasional word in between.
Anyway – I totally recommend this book!
This book is amazing for those just entering the dating scene or for those who are re-entering the dating scene. As so done who is single and constantly ready to mingle, this is very helpful and I plan on keeping this close for future reference.
Interesting and funny and all true breakdown of dating. I think all teens should read this before they start dating and all women who are rejoining the dating market by there choice or by force.
4.5 Stars for Do You Like My Wiener?
I have to say I wasn’t sure how I would get along with a non fiction comedy but I needn’t have worried this book had some real laugh out loud moments. If you are single or married you will see the humour in this book and you will enjoy this dating guide. Getting back into the dating world can be scary and at times funny and this book really got the point over that you can do this because we have the same fears and if you are in a relationship this book will leave you looking at what you have thinking can I do anything to make it better. Great hilarious read.
