great book I learned a lot about dating

really good reading material I learned a lot that I did not know good book

Absolutely amazing!

This is a must read for anyone who is single!!! Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn more about themselves.

Helpful and healthy approach to dating

Big fan of Dr Cloud's books. So,when I found out he had a book on dating, I had to hear it. I wish he would've read it, but other than that I was pleased with the book. Changed for the better my approach and outlook on the dating process.

Wonderful Resource for Christians Seeking Love

Wonderful book and great advise! This book gives practical advise to those whose are seeking love and following Christ.

Profound and eye opening

I plan to apply the concepts in my life. He had insight worth hearing.

A lot of very useful insights

The audiobook was well done. All the content of the book itself--the advice, the insights, the psychological and sociological analyses of single men and women--are all extremely helpful, especially for someone like me who wasn't given much of these social and emotional "tools" growing up. I think the biblical references are used well and in context. It's light of Bible references though, and could easily apply to someone who isn't a Christian looking for advice about this topic, since the biblical connections to the content are often more implicit than explicit.

The only reason I give 4/5 instead of 5/5 is because I think some of the advice is a few years outdated with modern culture (for secular circles, but I think even more so for many churches). I just personally don't see how someone could date around (ignoring the negative connotations of the phrase) like the author says, because it seems most Christian single women (and probably a lot of Christian men too) associate dating with romance. But maybe it's a matter of semantics at this point. Maybe some might prefer the term "hanging out at Barnes and Noble" to "going on a readerly coffee date". Even so though, I'm still not sure...

Bottom line, the book has a lot of good insights and self-improvement advice. Recommend, and with everything, use discernment.

Must Read

Just keep listening to the end for the whole context! This is a very thought provoking book and I'm going to listen again!

I live it!

I wish I read this book when I was in college. Selfdiscovery and working through my internal issues would have been a lot more fun with my dates. I realize that dating for no reason is fun!

A must read for all singles!

I love how well this guided and helped me to grow in how to see dating. I believed a lot of wrong ideas and was stuck in my dating. My mind was opened and introduced to how to date well.

very helpful; could use updating in a few chapters

extremely useful, powerful, practical. Did feel like the chapter "where's the testosterone" was a bit much in terms of gender stereotypes versus truths. The rest of the book was helpful and I would still recommend!!
