Structured Dating Advice in the book for Dummies by Dr. Joy Browne - part 2
The remaining part of Dr Joy’s book is dedicated to explaining in detail how to find dates and prepare for the dates. She goes into explicit details of these topics related to dating and I find it in some cases often overkill. Any intelligent person will be aware of the certain do’s and dont’s of dating and they don’t have to be reminded of this. Although the book does structure itself to provide the relevant details such that you can skip certain chapters and jump to your topic of interest.

I was curious to read about her advice on the sexual matters of dating and she aptly titles this chapter (31) with a commandment…Ten Sexual Commandments of Dating. Her advice thankfully is up with the modern times and she makes it very clear that sex is something important and should not be rushed as there are consequences. She does not advocate when you should have sex, but she states that only when you feel totally comfortable and you want to for the genuinely right reasons. For example, not because you are being pressured, cajoled or through peer pressure or on a rebound etc. Dr Joy also mentions the importance of using protection in these days of growing STD cases.
Dating for Dummies although in it’s 2nd edition, is a refreshing guide for daters who need a structured plan that they can follow and make use of. It is useful for inexperienced daters as well as the experienced daters. Like they say, it’s easy to pick up bad habits and this book may highlight those bad habits that need to be corrected. The book is well structured and simple to read and follow and is a good read for anyone who is in the area of dating but also for others who are just looking only for a light-hearted read.
