If you are 23 years old, have a gaggle of girlfriends, a mommy and daddy, and a big sister, and haven’t a clue that you shouldn’t wear a t-shirt and ‘crocs’ on a first date, ( or stilettos, micro mini, and a halter top, with theatrical makeup) . If you want a lesson in horticulture, and advice that you shouldn’t have sex on a first date then this book is for you ! (When mom tells you that you are finally old enough to go out on a date) . In other words , if you are a totally clueless bimbo, then have your big sister read this book to you.
If , on the other hand , you want a book to teach you how to navigate this increasingly difficult world of dating, keep looking for a better book. It really has little to offer anyone who is over 30, or anyone who has a bit of life experience, and is looking for something more substantial. It’s “cutsie” approach is cloying and irritating. I felt like I was being instructed by a 12 year old “Sex in the City” fan. It tells you nothing that any reasonably intelligent adult doesn’t already know.

I really liked this book. It’s about how to get out there and get to it, find that man and stop wondering if you’ll ever meet him because you will, if you give it a chance. I guess the point is to stop waiting on Mr. Right and get on with life. It’s a great read. I also liked Women Men Love, Women Men Leave: What Makes Men Want to Commit?.

The book arrived today and I finished it within 24 hours! This was the first self-help book I ever read. I admit, I’m pretty skeptical when it comes to books proclaiming to be the “solution to all your problems. ”
Positives: I enjoyed the conversational style of writing. Additionally I think Ryan Cassaday’s comments from a man’s perspective were really helpful. The Stop Wondering (SW)Method provides a breakdown of how the process of dating, in their opinion, should pan out. When is it okay to kiss someone, or, perhaps do more than that. I really, really, enjoyed a book that didn’t automatically assume that the person (ie woman)reading it suffered from low self-esteem or self-worth. Instead, the focus the brunt of their discussion on woman who suffer from MFDA (Modern Female Dating Anxiety). The fear most women have, regardless of their self-esteem, where we ask the questions: why didn’t he call, will he call, was I too forward, etc. They attempt to explain and help readers to understand and combat MFDA.
Negatives: Although I enjoyed the book, there were a few questions that I had that the authors didn’t address. What happens when there is a misstep in the system? How does one recover from it or can one recover from it? For example, the authors are all about no-physical contact. Well, what if a person does kiss their prospective suitor on the first date? Or, what if the MFDA rears its ugly head and one acts on it? These questions bug me. Perhaps, they will or could address this in their second book.
Overall, this is a pretty interesting read.

You don’t have to agree with the entire approach of this book for it to be inspirational. It helps you to look at the way you approach relationships very differently. I highly recommend it.

I’ve read a ton of dating books and they usually fall into one of two categories. There’s the “wait till your married” to have sex category or the “how to be a hot [. . . ] (or pick up artist)” category. Neither of which is realistic and neither of which works. This book gets it right with (finally!) a sane and easy to follow approach to dating. Since reading this book I’ve been told I’m more self assured and confident and attractive. None of those things is true. It’s simply that now I know what to do when it comes to dating. I only wish I had read this a few years ago!
