Whether you're a seasoned pro or young novice there's always room for improvement. But where do you go for dating advice when your dad still calls it "courting" and your mates spend all their bedroom time with a PlayStation?

It's a dating minefield out there so lucky for you we've got the lowdown on what the crack is everywhere else so you won't be stumped for where to look.

The internet is a fount of dating information. Sign up to ZOO Hot Dates for real life lessons! There's no better place for first hand learning, improving your chances with the hot honeys, and practicing picking them up at the same time.

There are a host of online pulling gurus available to offer advice to lads who are potential players - dating author David DeAngelo is a good example.

Also, pop into a book shop and pick up a book called The Game.
