Product DescriptionFor most of us, dating is often confusing, frustrating, and frightening. We look for the right person in bars, at school, at parties, and on Internet dating sites. But what happens when we find the right partner? 60% of marriages end in divorce, and only 1-2% experience the fulfillment both partners once hoped for. We need much more than another way to meet people. We need to learn how to create the loving and richly rewarding relationships we all want. In Real Love. . . More >>

I ordered this book after buying and reading “Real Love”, (which I enjoyed) thinking it might add to my understanding of unconditional “real love” especially from the standpoint of dating, but while the principle is great – the author is advocating for a more real and sustaining emotional experience rather than one build on false illusions, or imitation love as he call it – I found the contant promotion of his other products, books, CD’s and website at the end of every chapter and throughout the book really annoying and unnecessary. Personally, I think if you read “Real Love”, the first book, the basic principles apply across all facets of life. . . marriage, work, raising a family, etc, and it is not necessary to purchase each of these other books since they are all founded on the same premise. I think the author is doing great work by talking about this subject so throroughly and openly, but feel he has taken the subject too far by repeating the same concepts over and over and over and capitalizing on it. . . it came across as tacky. The author could have easily referenced his other books and products at the end of the book, and left it at that. Sorry, just speaking my “personal truth” here. . . .

First I read the “Real Love” book which blew me out of the water. I learned how I was behaving that was causing me unhappiness by continuing to trade with imitation love. I learned certain ingrediants that would assure me of having the love I desired in my life. I took time to practice knowing how to “tell the truth” gather a core group of wise women to share my truth with so I could be seen and loved. I got to see how I used power, safety, pleasure and praise as trades for imitation love which left me hollow and empty. After practicing and feeling real love I purchased the “Real Love in Dating” book. When I go on dates I take the book with me, use the questions as a form of gathering information about my date. It is so much fun and my dates have really enjoyed it as well. I learned how to be responsible in dating. I learned that trading with romantic overtures during the gathering stages never results in happiness. I learned that telling the truth and being loved is the best feeling in the world. If someone doesn’t want to be with me or love me because of my truth it isn’t a big deal. We just aren’t a match! How simple is that! I am having fun looking for my real love match. Debra Cleveland
