Universal Dating Regulations and Bylaws : American Dating Association [Paperback]

Jeff Wise (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 8, 2001

At last, the official guidance American singles so desperately need!

Since 1976, the American Dating Association, the official governing body of courtship in the United States, has labored tirelessly to codify acceptable dating practice, and its definitive findings are now available to the general public for the very first time. You'll learn:

What Acts of God permit a man to have sex with a woman who is not his girlfriend?

Are email, pagers, or instant messaging permissible for informing your partner that you are breaking up with him?

After how many dates without sex should you put aside any hope that it may someday occur?

When men and women date in compliance with ADA regulations, fewer people are needlessly hurt. Dating compliance -- it's a beautiful thing!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Quantum Advance in Relationship Science, March 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Universal Dating Regulations and Bylaws : American Dating Association (Paperback)

This book is a masterpiece of concision and scholarly expertise. I cannot think of a single resource more valuable both for the modern single person out on the "dating scene" and for the serious relationship professional who wants to keep abreast of the current psychosexual mores in our culture. At the clinic where I work we stock the "Green Book" in our supply cabinet. One small quibble: I feel that the use of humor in this book, while it undeniably succeeds in creating a symphony of mirth that I literally could not put down, somewhat detracts from the sense of urgency that properly attaches to the American Dating Association's mission.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dating Woes, February 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Universal Dating Regulations and Bylaws : American Dating Association (Paperback)

I'm ashamed to admit this, but I've now decided to adhere to all the regulations of the "Green Book." It really lays out a blueprint for how a REAL relationship should work. And I won't waste time with men who can't be bothered to follow these simple rules. After all, if they can't follow a set of regulations listed point by point in a book, how can I expect them to understand something as complicated as a woman?

4.0 out of 5 stars Hits the nail on the head, October 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Universal Dating Regulations and Bylaws : American Dating Association (Paperback)

Often humorous, but entirely useful, this book sets out to codify the "Rules" of social engagements between men and women in these modern times. It should be required reading for anyone in their 20s and 30s who's on the dating scene.
