Date Smart: Transform Your Relationships and Love Fearlessly
by Carla Marie Manly
This book gives practical advice about dating and how to find and keep good relationships. There is advice about red flags to look for, boundaries to establish, expectations to manage, and how to have healthy communication with your dating partner.
Most of the advice is very common; things like... be honest, be yourself, know what you want, know what you have to offer, be trustworthy and trusting, be vulnerable when it is appropriate. It's nothing amazingly new or groundbreaking, but it is important to review these things and apply them to your dating life.
At the end of each chapter there are several little example stories of fictional people and their dating problems and how they resolved them. I think these are a great writing tool to help you visualize how this advice can actually be applied! A few of these stories include LGBTQ+ couples.
There is a chapter about sex and STDs that had some moral ideas that I did not agree with.
Overall, I found this book sort of bland.
