Review by Kevin Newgren for What Women Wish You Knew about Dating: A Single Guy’s Guide to Romantic Relationships
Rating:
This book is well written, and an engaging read. It is written from a Christian perspective, but is a lot more practical and useful than most Christian relationship books out there. Dr. Simpson shows a clear understanding of the Christian dating culture, and the unique challenges faced by men in this culture.
It is also refreshing to read a book that does not fixate on overly spiritualizing the dating process to the point that it becomes unapplicable. It addresses topics ranging from talking to girls, doing the actual asking for a date, where to go, what to do on the second and third date, and how to maintain a relationship once you have one.
This is an ideal book for any single Christian man looking to improve their dating situation. It would also be a great book for any Christian woman stumped by why men are clueless in the dating arena (there are actually numerous blurbs in the chapters directly speaking to women who are reading the book).

As a single guy, I have begun reading various books on dating and meeting women. I know a lot of it is all about exuding self-confidence. But the truth is, my spiritual beliefs play an important role in how I connect with a woman. Not many of of the seduction authors seem to pay attention to that.
So, I was glad to find a book written by someone who understand where I am coming from. The advice in this book made complete sense to me.
The “Where To Start” section was incredibly helpful. The author gives suggestions on how to go out and begin to meet women but do it with sincerity and how to not come across as a predator. It was this part of the book that inspired me to take my first step into the dating world.

I’m an old married guy now, so I can’t really put Dr. Simpson’s funny and practical wisdom to much use. But, “back in the day,” I may have avoided considerable anxiety and heartache if I had access to this comprehensive step by step guide to Christian dating.
The book starts at the absolute beginning. Not when a guy finds himself attracted to a lady, but when a guy learns to be a man. From there, Simpson walks his reader step by step through various subjects like: talking to a woman, asking someone out on a date, what a first date should look like, what second & third dates should be like, etiquette, and the ever popular “how far should we go?” question.
The book doesn’t leave out advice for the ladies. There are very insightful side boxes throughout the book for them as well.
No man attempting to navigate his way through the labyrinth of Christian dating should be without this fun to read guide. I loved it so much I bought copies for my four teenage nephews. If you’re looking for a book to help yourself or someone else decode the Christian dating scene, look no further than this one.

Stephen Simpson’s “What Women Wish You Knew About Dating” is a thought-provoking, laugh-out-loud funny reality check! Filled with wonderful quotes at the beginning of each chapter, do-able Biblical advice, and true life stories that draw the reader into the chapter topics, I recommend this book to men and women, single and married. This is a must read for anyone who has or hopes to have a significant other. We should treat each other this way all the time – especially after we marry – not just when we’re dating.
The author’s use of movies to explain topics really impacted my film-loving libido. I also loved the info boxes created in each chapter just for us gals. Simpson deserves many thanks for defining the difference between guys and men, discussing everything involved in dating relationships from where to meet to sensitive issues like how to handle pre-marital sexuality. I wish I would have had this book in my naive dating years! Although I must admit, it did shed some light on several situations from my past that I didn’t really understand, and made me very grateful for how blessed I am to have the husband I do.

I spend a lot of time reading books of this nature, the books that all seem to try and paint a picture of what a christian relationship should look like before, during, and hopefully into marriage. I always find great truths within each book, and with much work on my part, have added those bits and pieces of what I’ve learned into my life. But what makes Stephen Simpson’s book, “What women wish you knew about Dating” so amazing to me is the way he simply and even hilariously leads men(primarily) through the somewhat tricky idea of dating. Simpson adds excerpts through out the book in his various sections that give a woman’s perspective on the subject at hand. Granted, the views of women on any one subject will vary, but Simpson does a good job in trying to take views from those of a greater consent. As i mentioned before, the book is hilariously written. Simpson is honest and unabashed at times, but that honesty and even humility makes for some of the most laugh out loud comments I’ve seen in many books. And that’s a special thing. The funny little remarks made are the bits of truth and advice i took the most from.
And so I’d recommend this finding/book to any single man/woman seeking after a Christian relationship. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

I almost didn’t pick up this book, due to its obnoxious title. What a misfortune that would have been for me. Recently divorced, I was confronted by a sea of tomes claiming that they could help me to find a lasting love. However, at the time, I was finishing a Ph.D. in psychology, and I could see that most of the popular books were actually filled with terrible advice–especially the advice to “settle” and accept that “you can’t always have what you want” in love.Today, I own a business in which I assist clients in finding and using research-based techniques to bring them a lifetime love, one they enthuse about and can’t get enough of. Although I base much of my guidance of clients upon scientific research, it’s also wonderful when I can locate that rare self-help book whose advice is worthwhile and is supported by the research. Many popular press books lead the reader astray, because they rely solely on the author’s opinion…but my reading of the relevant research shows that Susan Page’s book is truly on the mark and advises the use of techniques that will, when consistently applied, result in you, yes you, finding the love of your life! I speak from personal experience, and not only from the dry, academic air of the library. Before beginning my business, I tested Page’s ideas and recommendations in my own life. Today, and in no small part due to her book, I am married to the love of my life, a “catch” by anyone’s standards, who adores me with all his heart. He, too, refused to “settle,” so we were available when we met. Almost every day, one or the other of us remarks that we must truly be the world’s luckiest couple. However, it’s a “luck” that really has more to do with persistence and patience, just as Page writes. Sure, using Page’s techniques took a bit of effort–all learning does–but the reward has been the most fulfilling adventure that my husband and I have ever encountered.May each person reading this message find his or her own true love. I cannot encourage you strongly enough to let Susan Page’s expert advice be part of your process in attaining that.

I’ve always read lots of books about singles and how to find a mate, and that rate has sped up since I’m now a Romance Coach. But somehow I had missed Susan Page’s “If I’m So Wonderful, Why am I Still Single?” even though it has been out since 1998, the last year I was single myself. Where have I been, and why hadn’t I seen this book?
Susan Page writes for “involuntary singles” — straight, gay, male or female, each and every one of us who is single and wishes we weren’t. Relentlessly positive, she starts off right to the point with “So why are you still single anyway?” And then, just when we’ve gotten over that shock, she states flatly:”Whatever your reasons are for being single, if you want to be in a relationship, no reason is good enough.” Then Page goes about tearing apart every good reason we’ve ever come up with to keep ourselves single.
Here’s what Page takes on and turns around: Ambivalence (my favorite), those “Dreadful Statistics,” the myth of “There are no good ways to meet people,” and having and keeping high standards. Then she works on developing skills in what she calls “Frog kissing”: Learning to say no, how to recognize true intimacy, avoiding “commitmentphobes,” handling the intimacy gap, and learning to say “yes.” And in the last section, “Keeping It All Together While You Look,” Page tells you just how to do all that.
This is easily the best, most thorough, rounded and positive book about relationships and dating I have seen. If you are one of Page’s “involuntary singles,” this book needs to be in your library. Five chocolate dipped strawberries for Susan Page! This is quite a book.

Despite a title that makes you want to cover the book in brown paper, I found this book to be one of the most insightful on the subject. It helped me clarify what I’m looking for in a mate and has helped me avoid “Better-Than-Nothing” relationships. I highly recommend it for the recently divorced, as it will help them understand why they married as they did. The subject of hidden ambivalence was the most insightful. Now that I’ve resolved my own ambivalence, I can usually identify it in others. I especially found the straightforward and pragmatic approach to dating to be results-producing. If every single person read this book, we’d have more well-suited marriages!
Review by J. Marui for If I’m So Wonderful, Why Am I Still Single?: Ten Strategies That Will Change Your Love Life Forever
Rating:
There are two kinds of self-help books: ones that encourage you to look inside and to change yourself and ones that promise you that by modifying your behavior you can change your life. The first kind inspires you and makes you grow – the latter makes you stagnate. The first kind doesn’t make you feel good – it makes you think. The second kind makes you feel good temporarily (because, while you are reading it, you are carried away by its promises of easy solutions), but doesn’t change anything – neither inside you nor in your life.
This book is of the first kind. It promotes awareness and honesty to oneself and others instead of using tricks and schemes. It helps you answer the question – why are you alone. It encourages you to look for a partner and advises you how. And doesn’t let you settle for less.

I don’t know how many guys read books like this, and maybe i should be embarrased that i do, but anyhow, here goes: the nicesist thing in this book for me, was the reminding, (maybe reframing) Me, as being still single at 32 not because there’s something wrong, but because i’m unique and valuable, and thus left with a smaller number of good matches to match up with.Being reminded that the rewards for finding someone ‘on my level’, who i can talk with, be with and truly enjoy, the rewards of a MUTUALY SATISFYING MARRIAGE, are worth the work and wait, AND, that this is possible.Now i’m definately motivated. My only criticism of the book from my personal perspective, is, after reading it, i still feel a bit lost. Ok, this wonderful woman is out there waiting for me somewhere, but, how EXACTLY do i go about finding her. What are my steps RIGHT NOW.
