Product Description

Synopsis

Advice for singles includes creating a personalized dating plan, maximizing choices, and knowing when to terminate a bad relationship.

From the Author

A Guide to Great Relationships for Singles
Great relationships happen naturally in the course of living life well. "Be Your Own Dating Service" is about creating a full, rewarding life as a single person, while taking steps to empower yourself in the search for a right partner. It is a specific course of action that moves you more quickly down the path to your ideal mate; and it is a process that is valuable in and of itself. "Be Your Own Dating Service" is a powerful guide to self-discovery and to the awareness of what it takes to find someone who will be a partner in creating a healthy, loving, lasting relationship. I wrote this book because I view single life as a wonderful opportunity for intervention in the flow of life: To learn as much as possible about healthy love so that you'll make better choices and become the best possible partner to your future mate.

5.0 out of 5 stars It changed my life!, 2 Sep 1999
By A Customer
The only thing I didn't like was the title. This book is so much more than how to date. I followed the suggestions to the last detail. I began by looking at previous relationships, what was good and bad about them and what happened. Then I looked at what I wanted in a relationship. I followed suggestions about increasing my network of friends and acquaintances. I paid attention to where I was in the stages of life and where the other people were. There were so many excellent insights into the psychology of relationships and how to match the physical, emotional, intellectual and not settle -- and also why I settled before and how not to. I can't say enough, and after three months I found someone so incredibly right for me I can't believe it, and she feels the same! Thank you so much, Nina Atwood, I'm telling all my single friends about your book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful, useful insights into dating with a purpose, 12 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Want to pick up women? This isn't your book.

Want to manipulate men into asking you out? This isn't your book.

Want to date with a purpose -- to eventually find and develop a relationship that might become a committed, lifetime relationship nourishing two people? This is it!

Nina Atwood combines her professional training, personal experiences and the experiences of those she has counseled, coached and corresponded with to offer insight into the problems, reassurances that you aren't the only one having them, and concrete, achievable solutions.

While slightly slanted toward the female experience (like duh), it is only slightly slanted. The male experience, problems and point of view are clearly represented. Males can benefit not only from the direct information, but also from the subtext about what women want and expect (or at least should want and expect).

In addition, it isn't just about snaring someone. It is about living a full life, discovering who you truly are, being open and honest both to yourself and the world, and attracting someone who is like you.

I can't say enough good about this book.

If you have never had problems dating, if you've never wondered why you broke up, if you and your partner always seem to be on the same page, if your relationship is going where you want, if you truly understand what the other is feeling, if you never quarrel about "nothing", you don't need this book.

Otherwise, you cannot afford NOT to buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is excellent, 6 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This is not just how to meet people, but an excellent book on sorting out your priorities on what you want in a relationship, being upfront with your dates about what you are looking for, and doing this by the third date-- how to build and maintain healthy relationships as the title states. I would highly recommend it!!
