If you’re anything like me, you have probably scoured the shelves of your local bookstore and searched far and wide on the Internet for the best dating books for women. Seriously, why is dating such a challenge in modern society? Back when our parents were single, everything seemed simple. Your mom or best friend would set up with a nice guy, everything would be pleasant, polite and lovely, you’d commit to each other by going steady, court for a few months, and then a proposal would come shortly after. Nice and sweet. Nowadays, it seems like things are far from simple. With social media status updates, online dating sites, and men more interested in “hooking up” than settling down, it’s hard to navigate the dating scene as a single girl.
That’s why books are such a valuable resource. Do a quick search online and you’ll find a slew of advice, from how to build confidence to how to have your pick of men. Good information is there for the taking. Instead of hitting the town and wasting time on players, momma’s boys, and egomaniacs, I finally realized it was time to take matters into my own hands and arm myself with the knowledge I needed to finally find a good man. With no plans for the evening, I curled up on the coach with a cup of hot cocoa, my Kindle, and one of Gregg Michaelsen’s best dating books, Manimals: Understanding Different Types of Men and How to Date Them. As I read Gregg’s advice and pored over personal stories submitted by women just like me, I realized I was not alone in this struggle to find love. My eyes were open.
Dating after that was much easier. I found myself categorizing the men I met into yes and no piles, watching for red flags that I found in the book. I saved myself a lot of time and heartache just by understanding the type of guys I wanted, and the types of guys I did not want. And I was finally able to navigate the modern dating scene — nice and simple, the way it should be.
