Book Description

December 12, 2003
Millions of single people — whether never married or recently divorced — put a lot of energy into meeting and dating new people, but because they don’t invest their true selves, their efforts often go nowhere. To counter this trend, Susan Campbell presents an approach to dating that many may consider radical: Be honest about yourself and ask for what you want, up front. Campbell shows people how to have fun by flirting truthfully; date without getting ahead of the relationship; enjoy the freedom of being themselves; relate with honesty to their dates; realistically examine what a romantic partner can — and can’t — offer in the way of fulfillment and happiness; and move forward when the time is right, or say goodbye if it’s not working. On the way to finding the love of their lives, readers gain the tools they need to successfully manage the entire process.

5.0 out of 5 stars this approach takes courage but it's worth it!, October 22, 2004
By 
Leah Mack (Washington DC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Truth in Dating: Finding Love by Getting Real (Paperback)
I have found this book and other books by this author extremely helpful. I have been married for one year and I credit Dr. Campbell's philosophy and what I learned from these books as a big part of why my marriage is so rich, intimate, and satisfying. That said, this approach takes a great deal of courage. It is not for the faint of heart. For those willing to risk being truly open, however, the rewards are exceptional.

5.0 out of 5 stars True love, February 15, 2006

This review is from: Truth in Dating: Finding Love by Getting Real (Paperback)
When you date in the traditional manner--trying to manage outcomes and get people to like you--you are left living or dating in fear, wondering when you are going to be 'found out' and the love will be lost. Gay Hendricks presents the alternative, one that only some people have discovered on their own.

I read Truth in Dating after reading Getting Real most of Brad Blanton's books on Radical Honesty. I found this book to be the best of the genre because it artfully disperses theory, practice, and examples in a format that is easy to digest and relate to.
