Think of the last conversation you had with a young man about girls, dating or sex. How’d that go? Could you have used a book that addresses the top eight misconceptions guys have about girls?
For Young Men Only spells it out and does a better job than most about teen dating. Using survey results from 400 girls, the authors combine humor and cartoons to make clear that being “all that” is not what girls are seeking.
For your young adult or singles ministry, Dr. Ronn has put together an extensive read, complete with fill-in-the-blank questions at the end of every chapter. No-Nonsense Dating is for the serious dater—those searching for “the one.” The book is a little too aggressive for my taste, offering chapters such as “Marketing Yourself” and “Get in the Game.”
The book is one part motivational speaker and one part relationship counselor. So, if you or someone you know is making dating a second career, this book is no-nonsense.
