Pinch Hit Advice is Released in the Coach's Book
Are you tired of dead-end dating? Tired of spending months trying to figure out if the person you are dating is really the one for you!?! Amanda Brown, an Atlanta-based cultural creative genius extraordinaire, first created a series of clever, whimsical card games called Playing the Field to help single girls (and guys) avoid months of uncertainty, guesswork and potential heartbreak.
The games are designed to make couples laugh, learn and grow, while at the same time discover intriguing facts about their potential significant other and most importantly, if they are the right one or not.
Now, Amanda is offering up even more good girl talk with the debut of her new book, The Field Guide to Playing the Field. And, yes it is an actual guide to playing her game, but it also offers practical dating guidance to benefit every single girl on the hunt for the right man. Set for release today, the book spells out exactly how to interpret what he says during all of those endless conversations that crop up on those first few intense dates, around drink number 3.
After the success of Playing the Field, the game, Amanda decided her fun, unconventional way to help new and established couples learn about each other should be put on paper.
“I just got to a point where I realized I can’t be the only girl who has found herself on an uncomfortable first date or who is frustrated trying to understand the whole relationship thing,” said Amanda. “I felt like I could give girls some good advice and insight, based on my own experiences. I wanted it to be fun because dating should be fun, right?”
Amanda stresses, “It’s not cheesy! It’s not lame! The questions that are asked are things we should know about a future partner. Many married couples can’t even answer some of these questions regarding their spouse. I think that’s a problem. There are so many couples out there who don’t make it - maybe they just didn’t ask the right questions.”
Since so many of us don’t know what they are, Amanda spells them out in Playing the Field. By asking the questions for you in a game format, she makes it easy to ask the right questions without making it uncomfortable for you or your prospective mate.
- “Tell me about your network of friends.” (One look at their friends and you know if you should run or hang for awhile)
- “Do you know how to use power tools?” (Come on ladies…we need a handy man)
- “Are you an animal lover?” (Be honest, you’re not going TO part with Sparky…EVER!)
- “Are you the lord of your own land, or do you answer to a landlord?”
- “Do you like kids?” (gotta know your future, most of us are on a five year plan)
- Have you ever been married?” (be real, it’s something you want to know)
- “You receive a large bonus, what do you do with the money” (Is he greedy?)
These are questions you want, and need to know, but sometimes they are just a little too uncomfortable to ask. Some of the questions are a bit probing, others just help spark conversation -- either way you are going to get to know the person sitting across from you just a little bit better with the help of Amanda Brown and The Field Guide to Playing the Field.
The Field Guide to Playing the Field ($9.99) and Playing the Field Card Game ($24.99) can be purchased at http://www.playingthefieldcardgame.com/ .

Playing the Field Card Game Puts the RELATING Back
Not certain of what to say on that first date? Tired of spending months trying to figure out if the person you are dating is really the one for you!?! With divorce rates are on the rise and careers taking precedence, women are becoming more independent and dating is harder than ever. Amanda Brown, a Dating & Relationship Expert, wants to make getting to know that special someone easy and FUN with a cheeky card game called Playing the Field.
“I created Playing the Field to ease the pressure of getting to know someone,” stated Amanda Brown. “Playing the Field is a deck of playing cards but with a twist – each card has a question exploring ideas you want to know about someone but may feel uncomfortable asking at first. The series goes from 1st Base to Home Run with the questions becoming more intense and risqué as you progress around the bases. Playing the Field simplifies the discovery process and narrows down the months it would normally take to get to know the ‘real person’ you are dating. This game allows people to learn more about each other in a playful and thought-provoking way. I chose a card game because it’s easy and fun, and the deck of cards is small enough to put in your bag when heading out” added Brown.
As an added bonus, Amanda has included a Body Language Cue Card. Since ninety percent of what is said is nonverbal the BLCC gives the player who bought the cards the upper hand by explaining the subtly of body language. Everyone needs the extra advantage of being able to decipher and understand the “moves” of the one they are dating!
How to Play
Intended for a sit-down-get-to-know-you date, the cards provide the vehicle for storytelling. No scoring, no extra pieces, just a deck of cards placed between the couple with the back and forth exchange of questions and answers...the easiest and most inexpensive thing ever when planning a date!
The 1st base deck consists of non-intrusive yet playful questions like… “Have you ever gone skinny-dipping?” and “If you were an animal what would you be?”
In the 2nd base set, couples advance their understanding of each other with such questions as, “Have you figured out what you are going to be when you grow up?” and, “Define sexy.”
As couples let their guard down and eye third base, they are tantalized with questions such as “If money were not an issue what would you be doing with your life?” and “Do you have any strange sleeping habits?”
Now that the couple has successfully passed 3rd base and has home plate in sight, the questions take on a more intimate and personal tone, such as, “Are you happy with where you are in your life?” and, “Where is the wildest place you’ve had sex?”
What it all means
“Playing the Field is a common sense way to get to know each other that I think more people should apply when dealing with their relationships. The game takes the pressure off trying to think of the next cute thing to say by putting those questions out there that you want answered….for once you can actually listen! There is no scorecard – just a mental check. None of us has time to waste with dead-end dating - if your date gives bad answers to three important questions strike him out and look for another player. With the game, people are getting the chance to know each other one-on-one,” Brown explained. “Playing the Field makes dating more fun on your way to finding ‘the one’! There are 100 million sexy singles out there and Spring Fever is in the air! Everyone should try Playing the Field!”
Playing the Field can be purchased at http://www.playingthefieldcardgame.com/. The full set, 1st Base through Homerun, retails for $24.99 (plus tax, S & H).
