Not Your Mother's Rules: The New Secrets for Dating by Sherrie Schneider, Ellen Fein

4.0

So, I have a confession to make. I love reading relationship books. Since the "perfect" relationship continues to allude me, I'm always searching for some tips. I enjoyed the first edition of The Rules so I was pretty confident that I would like this one. I think this one is better because in addition to giving dating tips it also focuses on self-worth tips. I love the premise of letting things happen and not making things happen. While it can be lonely at times and take a ridiculous amount of discipline to not text or call first, I found these tips helpful in guarding my heart. I can't count how many times I've made relationships happen then when things don't work out after 2, 3 or 4 years, I look back in agony beating myself up for wasting my time. So if you are looking for some practical ways to be still and let things happen by weeding out those guys who aren't meant for you, then I highly recommend it. For those of you who feel like these types of books are silly, then you probably don't need them and will not find the information useful.
