Despite the nauseating self-help title, this book is worth the read. In my experience of Christian dating there are two kinds of people. The all or nothings- either you are together and serious or you go your separate ways. The second type: you avoid dating all together due to the unnecessary seriousness of Christian dating.

Dr Cloud addresses all the misconceptions and pressures the Christian culture puts on dating. He's not a fan of Joshua Harris's book, I Kissed Dating Good-bye which makes me a fan of Cloud.

I am usually not a fan of christian literature or books on dating. But Dr. Cloud is realistic,encouraging and was single into his 30's. He truly understands the perspective of his audience.
