User Reviews about What Women Wish You Knew about Dating: A Single Guy's Guide to Romantic Relationships

I spend a lot of time reading books of this nature, the books that all seem to try and paint a picture of what a christian relationship should look like before, during, and hopefully into marriage. I always find great truths within each book, and with much work on my part, have added those bits and pieces of what I've learned into my life. But what makes Stephen Simpson's book, "What women wish you knew about Dating" so amazing to me is the way he simply and even hilariously leads men(primarily) through the somewhat tricky idea of dating. Simpson adds excerpts through out the book in his various sections that give a woman's perspective on the subject at hand. Granted, the views of women on any one subject will vary, but Simpson does a good job in trying to take views from those of a greater consent. As i mentioned before, the book is hilariously written. Simpson is honest and unabashed at times, but that honesty and even humility makes for some of the most laugh out loud comments I've seen in many books. And that's a special thing. The funny little remarks made are the bits of truth and advice i took the most from.

And so I'd recommend this finding/book to any single man/woman seeking after a Christian relationship. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! -- Hilariously Relevent

I bought this book last week, and in six days I finished reading it. I read this fast not because I was trying to learn all the secrets about dating, but because I had such a wonderful time reading it that it was almost impossible to put it down. I decided to buy this book after reading all the reviews for this book, and at the time I bought this book all were 5 star reviews. This is a great book, some parts were really funny and I caught myself laughing out loud because some of the stories in it. Other stories made me realize that I was not the only man in this world that is going through the difficult task of finding a great woman to date. The greatest lesson from this book is that you need to have a life before dating. You need to discover yourself and truly find purpose in your life.I learned that it is a mistake to think that a girlfriend will give meaning to your life, that's too much to ask from her.

I realized a lot of things that I need to work on before I start dating.I can truly see how in just a few days my view of dating and life have changed.I recommend this book to every man out there. This book talks about God, but it's in no way preachy, and it offers a great perspective on biblical views on dating. Have fun reading it, you will not be dissapointed. -- A truly great book

As a single guy, I have begun reading various books on dating and meeting women. I know a lot of it is all about exuding self-confidence. But the truth is, my spiritual beliefs play an important role in how I connect with a woman. Not many of of the seduction authors seem to pay attention to that.

So, I was glad to find a book written by someone who understand where I am coming from. The advice in this book made complete sense to me.

The "Where To Start" section was incredibly helpful. The author gives suggestions on how to go out and begin to meet women but do it with sincerity and how to not come across as a predator. It was this part of the book that inspired me to take my first step into the dating world. -- Glad I found this book

I'm an old married guy now, so I can't really put Dr. Simpson's funny and practical wisdom to much use. But, "back in the day," I may have avoided considerable anxiety and heartache if I had access to this comprehensive step by step guide to Christian dating.

The book starts at the absolute beginning. Not when a guy finds himself attracted to a lady, but when a guy learns to be a man. From there, Simpson walks his reader step by step through various subjects like: talking to a woman, asking someone out on a date, what a first date should look like, what second & third dates should be like, etiquette, and the ever popular "how far should we go?" question.

The book doesn't leave out advice for the ladies. There are very insightful side boxes throughout the book for them as well.

No man attempting to navigate his way through the labyrinth of Christian dating should be without this fun to read guide. I loved it so much I bought copies for my four teenage nephews. If you're looking for a book to help yourself or someone else decode the Christian dating scene, look no further than this one.
