So if you're looking for Mr. or Ms. Right, and willing to do some homework, this book is the perfect choice for you. Best of luck! -- From the Publisher
Fundamental in the quest for that all-important partner is the knowing of our own selves, what we need and what makes us happy. And when we have figured that out, we can then look for our perfect mate, not a fantasy person but one who will fit us as how we are ourselves. Someone Right for You guides the reader in making a personal inventory and creating a step-by-step action plan to that important goal. No hit-and-miss approach here: This is all about personal understanding and careful planning. But though Dreyfus might liken our search to a business plan, Someone Right for You does not take out the romance, merely the romanticized notions that lead us to misery and divorce.
A noted and experienced psychologist, Dr. Dreyfus believes that the primary reason for the alarmingly high divorce is due to the inappropriate manner in which people choose a mate. Indeed if we are calculating in designing our career and financial future, shouldnt we be at least as deliberate in choosing the person with whom we will be spending the rest of our life? --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-read for anyone in the dating game,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Someone Right for You: 21st Century Strategies for Finding Your Special Someone, 2003 Edition (Paperback)
Someone Right For You: 21st Century Strategies For Finding Your Special Someone by licensed psychologist, sex therapist, marriage and family therapist Edward A. Dreyfus, is a "reader friendly", no-nonsense guide to taking charge of one's life and one's pursuit of a lifelong mate. Stressing that better understanding oneself (while important and often necessary to breaking free of dysfunctional or ineffective relationship patterns), is not sufficient in and of itself - that action must be taken - Someone Right For You encourages people to make direct changes in their lives by actively seeking their mates in environments most conducive to the qualities they are truly looking for, rather than the same old singles bars. Someone Right For You features both expert advice for spouse-searchers of both sexes and insightful case studies - from the "party girl" who was putting out the wrong image to lure in husband material, to the domineering playboy who couldn't handle the types of women he thought he wanted, to the career-devoted woman who didn't truly desire marriage but felt pressured into the search by her mother and other influences, and whose breakthrough allowed her to acknowledge that all she truly wanted was occasional male companionship, not the demands of marriage. A must-read for anyone in the dating game, Someone Right For You is a much appreciated contribution to Human Sexuality reading lists and reference collections.
