Here’s a little blurb on the book, courtesy of Patti:
“From the star and executive producer of Bravo’s hit show “The Millionaire Matchmaker” comes a no-holds-barred, pull-no-punches approach to snagging Mr. Right For You–in just one year. “If you’ve ever found yourself picking off your nail polish, sitting in your sweats with an empty carton of Ben & Jerry’s, wondering, “Where are all the good men, and why isn’t a gorgeous one standing shirtless in my kitchen mixing me up a pomegranate mojito?” I hate to tell you this, but it’s your own fault. Not to worry — I’m here to help you make that fantasy a reality, with one major addition: you’ll be sipping that mojito with a big, glittering diamond ring on your left hand. Sounds too good to be true? It isn’t. As a third-generation matchmaker and the president of one of the world’s most elite dating services — the Millionaire’s Club — I’ve put myself in the enviable position of being friend, confidante, and relationship counselor to men and women the world over. I know what the good guys want in a wife, and what sends them screaming into the night. Now I’m sharing their secrets with you. I’ve compiled my best tried-and-true advice and I’m going to tell you the things that even your best friend doesn’t have the courage to break to you. If you follow my formula, the man of your dreams will appear in your life, and you can be in a committed, monogamous relationship with him in less than a year. Get ready — I’m about to show you how to make all your relationship dreams come true.”

Or if you want to get the book for a single friend, give me a funny story on how you met your husband or current boyfriend.

I met my last boyfriend through a mutual friend. I ended up calling HIM and we talked for 2 hours! We were complete strangers. He didn’t seem to mind as he was new in town. I ended up going to his apartment to meet him. We dated off and on for 3 years and finally got engaged. We married and that was 24 years ago! No more blind dates for me!
Ten months ago i met this dude on okcupid. He seemed super nice but i had little hopes of us meeting, considering that our entire first on-line conversation was about how horrible dating is (when i have a conversation like this with someone i generally write them off). Then we ended up speaking on the phone and i acted all crazy and was sure we would never go out because now it was his turn to assume i was a serial killer and write me off.
A week later we went to dinner and had an awesome time. When it was over, i thought “this guy is cool, but i doubt i will ever hear from him again.”
Tomorrow we are going to Disneyland and we couldn’t be more psychotic/in love.
NOW CAN I HAVE THE BOOK?
I met my last boyfriend on an online dating site and he turned out to be a bit of stalker. I could really use this book to help my find someone normal.
met at school- guess it worked out we married
I met my husband on a blind date. It was crazy.
thanks for the giveaway and i have no true loves at the present time
my husband we met at a church dance
I met my last bf on the internet. It did NOT go well at all.
I met my husband at work.
That’s going back years, but my last boyfriend is now my husband and we met at a dance. I do have friends who would be interested in this.
I met my last boyfriend on Match.com. It was nearly 4 years ago. Sadly, we had a huge fight (regarding dating sites) and it looks to be over. Right before valentines too.
I met my (now ex) husband at a party in college. We were each there with different people who got trashed and started making out with each other, so we pretty much looked at them, shrugged and started talking with each other. (Ok. And made out a little ourselves!) The next day he stopped by my dorm and asked me out, and we were together for many years after that!
I was climbing up a flight of stairs and a man carrying a big chair was coming down the stairs. The chair somehow slipped outof his hands and hit me, almost knocking me down the stairs. I was really steaming mad until I saw just how cute he was. He asked me out after we talked and flirted awhile. He is a very GOOD boyfriend. I just adore him but he is still a klutz.
i met dog when I was looking for my son’s lost dog. he felt bad for my son and helped me look for it.
I met my ex thru my college roommate. It was beyond abusive. I’m afraid to date. I need advice. sorry, wish i could make you laugh
I met my last boyfriend at a bar I know all wrong it just happened of course it ended too. I need serious help it is Valentines Day I am 42 and see no way of finding Mr. Right at this point Please make my day help me find the way… The next guy I dated I had known for 20 some years he went out of town and would call when he got back well that was two years ago he was only going to be gone a few days. Boy I would make a terrible character witness to think I knew this person..
HELP ME HELP ME… I want to have a Valentine next year on Feb 14th…
I met my last boyfriend through a mutual friend of ours. He saw me and said “You look like you like metal music. Do you like metal music? How about if we dance?” After that, I was hooked. Too bad it didn’t last long. He had such great pick up lines!

At work
I met my last boyfriend while I was walking through the neigborhood. He was the weird looking short guy who was just a little too peppy for a guy, but he asked if he could walk with me, and I said yes.
i met my husband at the mall, i was selling popcorn and he was selling phones.
love to win this, i need help
I met my Current Boyfriend, and Father of my 2 yr old daughter, Through my brother. He’s 6 years older than me, BUT I’ve known him for about 10 years now. He was a friend of my brother’s while they were in High School! Crazy how opposites really do attract! Thanks
I’ve had my fair share of dating horrors, but met my current boyfriend through friends. He is best friends with one of my college roommates’ new husband and we met when we were both asked to participate in their wedding. It’s a match made in heaven, so I don’t need any help right now, but this book sounds like a hoot, so I’d love to win it.
This book looks great – I have a friend it would be perfect for. I met my last boyfriend, now my husband, at work.
I met my boyfriend of 6 years at a tattoo shop.
Wow, last boyfriend? 7 years ago met someone online, flew and drove to spend time in person several times, talked about marriage and then one day an email that he was marrying another girl he’d met online the week before. Never heard from him again until 2 months ago.
I would love to win this great book.
Please enter me into the contest. Thanks!
I married the boy next door, but I’ve been a widow for 14 years now, so I could use some dating pointers. I’ve met a few men on the dating sites, but I’m tired of hearing on the second date, I’m married or in a relationship. Then why did you ask me out!!!
my hub was a friend of my brothers
I’m a poet and I had gone to a poetry reading at a place called Cafe Melange downtown, and it was a rainy night and afterwards I was going to go home, but some other poets persuaded me to go on to another reading that was held a bit later at a bar. When it was my turn to get drinks for the group I went up to the bar and waited and waited because it was busy and started talking to the guy standing next to me about the nature of time. Later he told me that he liked my sunflower hat (black velvet, onto which I’d pinned a cloth, beautiful facsimile of a sunflower) and that I had the “look” he liked – friendly. Instead of asking for my phone number he gave me his (after the reading) so that I wouldn’t feel threatened. So you see, one can meet someone ANYwhere!
I need this book!
This book sounds wonderful!
I met my boyfriend in a bar while hanging out with friends. He was actually really quiet, but not anymore and we have been a couple for 7 wonderful years. I know what you find in a bar leave in a bar but he was just to cute to pass up
I met my last boyfriend at a bar (I know, I know), but not a crazy one, an upscale place and it was happy hour, we both were eating. My current boyfriend and I dated each other a few years ago and reconnected. We knew each other in college.
I met my last boyfriend online & boy was that a big big big mistake.
We were placed in a canoe together on a group camping trip.
We met through mutual friends!
It appears I’m too late to enter to win a copy of the book, but I just want to say – FINALLY!! I love your show and I think your advice is awesome. I refer to your show often when talking to friends about dating and men/women relationships. I think you need to go one step further and offer seminars. I think a lot of men have a hard time being gentlemen and don’t know how to treat ladies and a lot of women don’t know how to let men treat them like ladies. We need your guidence.
Patti,
Your comments on the show are right on target. Single men and women desperately need someone to tell them how to intelligently interact with each other while they’re dating.
You certainly play an integral part in matching couples and I hope your show renews again and again.
Regards,
Tom M.
i love your show,
I met my bf on line. To be honest i didn’t think we would hit if off because I had gave up all hope of a man with both looks and manners. When he asked me out I went only to get out on a friday night I hadn’t made plans for .If I didn’t like him I didn’t have to go out again
To my suprise he was not only cute, but sweet ,and funny .We have been togther for about 9months I am so happy. I plan to pick up your book for one of my friends.
“Become Your Own Matchmaker: 8 Easy Steps for Attracting Your Perfect Mate.”
Please put Patti Sanger signature on there.
Hi Patti,
I would love a copy of your Book!
Was married for 17 years, another relationship for 1 year and the last one for 3 years which has been lots of pain. I need your help.
don’t remember where i met my ex but it must have been at the circus…
I am 41 years old and have never been married. No kids either. Like Patty I belive in no sex unless you are in a committed relationship! While I have been hurt many times by men… I refuse to give up on finding the love of my life. I sure could use some help!
Hi Patty;
A friend of mine constantly tried to fix me up with “a friend of a friend” who lived in Salt Lake. At the time I lived near Jackson Hole WY. Apparently her “other” friend had a single neighbor who she talked about quite often and the two of them decided that the two of us would be perfect together! For the next year, they tried to no avail to fix us up. I wanted nothing to do with it as I had never had a good blind date. One day, 4 days before Christmas, I was getting some fruit at the local “general store” (town’s population 1000) and accidently knocked over a pyramid of oranges! (not unusual for me) A man who I had never seen before begin helping me retrieve the oranges. We started talking and before we knew it we had talked for an hour. Finally we introduced ourselves by name; I have an unusual name and suddenly he said, “I think my neighbor tried to fix me up with you!” He was my friends friends neighbor from Salt Lake! He was on his way to Montana for the holidays; he asked me if I would go out to dinner with him if he stayed in town over night. There is no place to go to dinner in that town past 6 p.m. so I made dinner for us at my house. We hit it off and when he found out that I had no plans for the holidays, he asked if I would be interested in taking a road trip to the Oregon Coast, he was headed that way after Montana. I said I couldn’t possibly as I had just met him. He called on Christmas night to see if I might change my mind. To make a long story short, he drove 17 hrs out of his way to come back and get me and we spent 2 of the most fun weeks of my life together on the coast! We were together a couple of years before we broke up. Still one of my favorite memories.
Hi Patti. Love you. I met my boyfriend when we were in middle school I was twelve and am fourty-four now. He was my first crush, my first dance and first kiss. We did not date in high school and lost contact after high school for twenty plus years. Twenty some years later after kids and a divorce for both of us we run into each other at a rap party in Hollywood and we have been together ever since. We do not live together and haven’t talked about it or marriage, I need your advice on how to get to the next level and marriage. I want to seal the deal. My guy is very laid back and dosent always move real fast. If you can’t help me noone can. Thank you sheila
Finding what you want, it is hard, but not impossible. Keeping him is harder. My best friend and I are single moms, with teenager kids. Independent women, looking for the right one. We tend to get the wrong men. We would love to read your book from beginning to end. Hey, publishing a book was a great idea. I never miss your show on t.v. Good luck with your book. I want a copy, pleaaaase! Cheers to find love!!! ♥
Hi Patti I watch all your shows including the repeats and marathons! My last love was in 1990 when i moved into an apartment closer to the university. I had a pullout bed/couch to get into my apartment (wow that shows my age) and asked mgmt if maintenance could help. It was love at first site for us both, Jesus offered to help and told the manager he would marry me some day and he did in 1996. We have one daughter who is now 12 and sadly he passed away 2 years ago. He was the love of my life and daddys little girl. I made a commitment to our daughter I would not date till she is 18 and she being 12 and getting more and more independent I feel your book would ABSOLUTELY help to get into the dating world soon. Thank you for such a great show and you and team speaking the truth to help others seek love.
I really don’t know why ya’ll are wanting to know how we met our husbands/boyfriends…..isn’t it a book about finding that person???? I was married once for all the wrong reasons..wanted kids and a sperm donor. Got both and bigger kid.. didn’t last just got 13yrs of grief. But I did get 2 great girls out of the deal. I have been divorced since 1997. Spent until 2004 rising those girls and then have spent my time away from them to have a retirement( I had to change jobs for their schedules and never got a retirement plan on board) I moved to California in hopes of a new life and opportunities,instead have spent time working. I really need to get back in the dating field. It has been so long I dont know how to!! I do need to lose some weight though(I am working on that) . Although, my friends and co workers say I am cute. I need the book badly…Please pick me. Thank you Laura
