Publisher's summary

Everyone wants to be loved - to find someone who will stick with them through all of life's ups and downs, someone who is in it for the long haul. But in a world where dating is increasingly based on split-second decisions and geared toward casual relationships rather than marriage, it's easy for single people to feel discouraged, used, or unworthy of true love and lasting affection. Reality just never seems to match up with our (often wildly unrealistic) expectations.

Jonathan "JP" Pokluda has counseled thousands of young singles through the pain and heartbreak of dating the world's way. Now he wants to dispel the myths, misconceptions, and fairy tales you've believed about dating and replace them with the truth from the One who invented marriage, created you to crave relationship, and is the very embodiment of true love. With plenty of true stories about relationships healed and love found, this practical book explains God's purposes for singleness, dating, and marriage and covers why you should date, who you should date, and how you should date. 

If you're ready to trade the world's way of dating for the way that actually works, it's time to begin dating well.

Amazing! I have been married more than once. And am asking myself what am I doing wrong? Why can’t I stay married? Maybe I should just stay single.
I am 61 and want to be in love and married.
God dropped this book into my hands. It was given to me by my daughter who came upon this book by chance. My daughter didn’t buy the book and she gave it to me.
I now know I was dating all wrong. I was not dating intentionally.
Read this book if you are dating.
I am starting to read the book a second time.
Whether you are dating to be married or just dating for fun. Either way this book is life changing.
Read the book single people!

not great! but good! beat for if you are single looking to date!! not too helpful if you are in a somewhat healthy, God-honoring relationship! still good info though!! very counter cultural ideas about dating that challenges me but i liked!!!

An Essential Read

Love the authors discussing his own struggles and being vulnerable. This provides a great blueprint for meaningful and faithful dating!

An absolute MUST!

If you’ve struggled with thoughts of the “grass could be greener with someone else” or “I don’t know if they are THE ONE,” or even just hesitancy in taking the next step, this is the book for you! Everything is laid out with biblical backing and makes perfect sense once you know what you should be looking for verses what we tend to think we need. Amazing book and a must read for everybody, especially if your hope is to live a God glorifying life/the best life!

Single ready to mingle? Read this book first!

Christian dating is always a touchy subject because God's word doesn't outline what dating is... but God's word does outline how we are to pursue one another, how we are to develop and grow our relationship with him, and how we are to conduct ourselves within marriage. That being said, JP does a great job of pointing the reader back to what God says.

great information!

this book is fantastic to give a good perspective of relationships. whether a christian or not, there is some great advice on longterm relationships and what to look for.

Such a great find!!!

So glad JP you wrote this book. It’s thorough and you equip the new generation well, for marriage and family life! Well done!
