Dating Explained

About the Book

The collective consciousness in the modern dating culture is that it is hard. Singles who hold themselves back from dating are often plagued with self-sabotaging behaviors driven by fear of rejection, awkward encounters, or heartbreak. The good news is that we can all learn to be great daters who embrace the natural chemistry that comes with meeting new people. In a practical dating guide, seasoned matchmaker and date coach Jolene Beaton shares a step-by-step approach on how to identify behaviors that often show up on a date, and then shift the mindset to one that better supports meeting new people and building healthy romantic relationships. Through her wisdom, personal stories, tools, and encouragement to look deep within for the answers, Beaton not only offers insight into the mechanics of dating and the lost art of seduction as well as the barriers and excuses that hijack love, but also how to respond to tough questions without falling into the TMI trap, overcome resistance to change, and ultimately date with integrity and compassion while remaining unattached to the outcome. Dating Explained shares insight, stories, tools, and encouragement that help singles see themselves more clearly in the dating world and create healthy romantic relationships beginning with the first date.
