Are you dating?
Have you ever?
Would you like to be?
Does the prospect sound . . . scary?
There is help.
Fun, funny, practical, conversational, direct, real,
sympathetic, encouraging, helpful help.
From a young man who has done it.
Again and again and again and . . . you get the point.
Zack Oates has compiled the lessons gleaned from
sincerely trying to find—not the perfect girl—but the one who will walk with
him through everything that life can throw. Over 1000 times.
This book is like sitting down with a friend. A good friend who will point out your
strengths. But also your faults.
How can you go wrong with chapters
such as:
You Don’t Stink at Dating, You’re
Just a Good Person
Dating Is like Passing Gas—If You
Try Too Hard, It Hurts
Six Ways to Know That You Are the
Straight Gay Best Friend
Kindness Is the Most Important
Trait for Your List
Girls Go for Bad Boys Because Good
Guys Are Idiots
Be You . . . But in Doses
Pepto-Bismol Your Relationship
True Love Isn’t a Fairy Tale—It Does
Exist!
And finally (because it is going to
work!): BONUS: Great Date Ideas
After reading Zack Oates’ utterly delightful book, Dating
Never Works . . . Until it Does. 100 lessons from 1000 Dates, I almost want to
go back and try it all over again.
Maybe I’ll just try his dating advice with Husby.
It’ll certainly be fun!
I was given an electronic copy of Dating Never Works...Until it Does in exchange for my honest opinion. Well, I honestly loved it!
