MY FIRST BOOK: 100 Common Sense Dating Tips

100 Common Sense Dating Tips (color version)

I've been promising you a book for some time now.  My first book was supposed to land in the public domain in January.  I'm still working on that book.  I think it is for a good reason.  My original book has been very therapeutic and revealing for me.  Maybe that was all it was meant to be?  I don't know.

Well a week ago, I sat working on my original book and it hit me!  Why not put my Dating Tipsof the Day from Twitter (#datingtipoftheday) into a book and share it with people?

I continuously come across these discussions about dating and what to do and what not to do.  What this means and what it doesn't mean.  Why people change once you commit.  When is too soon to get intimate.  Etc.

I honestly never meant to write any type of "self-help" book because I don't necessarily like them myself.  Ha! I do not consider myself a dating expert or anything of the sort.  More like a recovered prolific dater who was always wise about how I wanted to be treated.  Someone who was never pressed to be in a relationship, but quite sure of what type of relationship she would be in.

I'm a thinker.  Loyal.  Free-minded.  Spiritual. Blunt.  Those things are captured in both versions of my book.

The full color version of the book includes pictures of couples and singles I know.  Some are married, some engaged, some dating, some single and cool with it, others single and searching. 

The full color version includes a letter at the end that I write to the readers expressing why I wrote the book.  The main reason stems from "The Talk" a post I made on here.  After I wrote it a number of people expressed to me how "the talk" they had with their parent(s) was either confusing or unhelpful.  No one ever told them how to look for a mate, what to expect in relationships or how to heal from old wounds. 

So the book is there to be a tool for starting conversations.  To talk about what you want, what you've had, how to heal from hurt, how to regain a sense of self.  This is expressed in a more organized fashion in the black and white version of the book.  Which starts with "Appearance" goes to "Healing the Inner You" and takes you from the honeymoon stage in relationship to dating in your marriage.

The two books (color and black & white) have similar dating tips.  The color has more tips and a section called "more words of wisdom" where the likes of Paul Carrick Brunson, William Wilson and Shelton Starks chime in with words of inspiration as well as some from me.  It is the "premium" version of the book. 

The black and white version includes 20 new date ideas to help spark some newness to your situation. 

The color book starts at 27.95 on http://www.blurb.com/user/store/CMWriter for a soft copy.  The black and white version starts at 12.95 for a soft copy. 

It is age appropriate for adults and teens.

Dating can be very complex for people who just experienced it. It's a good thing that this books was published to help new daters out there.
