What Women Wish You Knew about Dating equips men with the skills they need to begin dating. Author Stephen W. Simpson educates men about spiritual and psychological obstacles to dating and provides solutions to the problems that often interfere with a healthy, holy dating life. With a unique blend of biblical principles, psychological insight, practical advice, and humor, this book shows the reader how to be a man, date like a man, and get that relationship off to a great start. Whether just entering the dating game or back after being widowed or divorced, men of all ages will benefit from this straightforward and candid treatment of male sexuality and dating.

Great, practical, and fun to read book.
 
Review Date: June 2, 2008
Reviewer: Kevin Newgren,
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).
Finally a Readable Road Map for the Confusing World of Dating

Reviewer: Tim Simpson,
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.

Glad I found this book

Reviewer: Dave Long, Newark
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.
A Man's Perspective on Christian Dating - Incredible!

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.
What do women really want?
