If you are either new to dating, or just getting back into the dating game after some time off, it can be pretty intimidating.  When I got divorced after fifteen years of marriage, I felt afraid about getting back out into the dating world.  Since I got married young, I didn’t have a lot of dating experience to begin with and since I didn’t date while I was married, I definitely felt like I was entering into an unfamiliar world.

Having a book like “Dating Tips for You,” would have given me some peace of mind at the time.  The tips are very basic and up-to-date with how things are today.  They also focus on making recommendations that involve being respectful, upfront and honest to yourself and your date.  I think that this is a very important area to focus on because basically you are being advised to treat somebody, who might end up being a huge part of your life, the way that you would like to be treated.

I have read many dating advice books and unfortunately some of them focus on winning, instead of succeeding. By winning, I mean that you get the date or whatever you want from your date, without taking their feelings and needs in to consideration. I truly appreciate that this book does not do this. By succeeding, I mean that you are doing what it takes to develop a healthy relationship and a beautiful future with a special person.        

The advice offered also covers the consequences that can be involved in certain dating scenarios, such as dating a co-worker or a superior.  Considering consequences before taking action can save you a lot of pain and problems in the future.

I think that this book would greatly benefit with some fine tuning on the editing. Some of the words or material presented was redundant and could have been cleaned up a bit. Overall, I think that this book will be a valuable tool and a confidence booster for those readers who are looking to get back into the dating game.  “Dating Tips for You” would also make a great gift for a single friend.
