Looking for sage advice on dating? Your journey ends with Stephen W. Simpson PhD's offering titled WHAT WOMEN WISH MEN KNEW ABOUT DATING. Whether you follow Christian principles or not, the advice found in this book is right on the money.
Not only does the author use witty stories and humor to share his tips, he also includes his own true story about his failure to win the woman of his dreams, or at least the woman he thought was that woman. From the very first tip, I knew he'd spent plenty of time discussing what women are looking for with those who know it best-single women.
The first tip struck me as especially true. If your feelings for a woman go beyond friendship, be honest with her! You never know what she's thinking. As added proof, I can add my own story. In high school, none of my male classmates ever asked me out. Some would turn up in the oddest of places to walk me to class, and I gave many of them the opportunity to say something, yet none of them ever seemed interested in more than being friends.
After graduation, my parents bumped into a guy I knew. He was rather good looking, but kept to himself and never spoke a word to me. He came right out and told them how he'd always had a crush on me and asked how I was doing. Had he said something back in high school, the answer most certainly would have been yes!
Not only do I think every single man alive should read this, it also includes some tips that could help women. If I'd known back then that men are generally scared of the women they like, maybe I could have been a little more intuitive.
Over all, this is a must-read!
