From the Back Cover

Remember those perfect kindergarten days, when boys had cooties and girls were yucky? Or elementary school, when you used a “check yes or no” note to see if someone liked you?

You’re older now. More mature. And dating is way more complicated than you could have ever imagined. You wonder—When should I start dating? How will I find the right person?

Tim Baker combines the wisdom he picked up from his own disastrous dating years with biblical knowledge in this fun and informative guide to dating. He offers both “how-to’s” and “how-NOT-to’s”—from forming a healthy dating foundation, to showing someone your initial interest, right on through that crucial first date and beyond—focusing on how to keep your relationship strong and God-centered at every stage.
