Download or read book The Perfect Boyfriend Checklist written by Tanya Treseler and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-17 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You're such a player." "Why are you such a Prude?" "Stop being such a Tease." "You're just a gold-digging, slut." Have you ever heard any of those? I have. In fact, I have been called each of those names simultaneously. Yep, somehow it's possible to be both a prude and a slut at the same time. It's miraculously frustrating isn't it? But don't worry. Those words just mean you're on the right dating path. You usually inherit those types of labels because you're picky. And you should be picky. Especially after having suffered abuse. Of any kind, really. It's ok to be opinionated (or even "sensitive") about the small things when dating. Why? Because toxic behaviors like abuse start off sneaky and small. But you'll read more about that inside. Join me as I take you through how and why I created my dating checklist (complete with 42 uncompromising things every guy should have) and how that list helped me overcome my abusive past and create my very own happily-ever-after.

Book excerpt: A “must-read” (The Washington Post) funny and practical guide to help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams. Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives—they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love. Drawing from years of research, behavioral scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury reveals the hidden forces that cause those mistakes. But awareness on its own doesn’t lead to results. You have to actually change your behavior. Ury shows you how. This “simple-to-use guide” (Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone) focuses on a different decision in each chapter, incorporating insights from behavioral science, original research, and real-life stories. You’ll learn: -What’s holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern) -What really matters in a long-term partner (and what really doesn’t) -How to overcome the perils of online dating (and make the apps work for you) -How to meet more people in real life (while doing activities you love) -How to make dates fun again (so they stop feeling like job interviews) -Why “the spark” is a myth (but you’ll find love anyway) This “data-driven” (Time), step-by-step guide to relationships, complete with hands-on exercises, is designed to transform your life. How to Not Die Alone will help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.

From award-winning marriage researcher and bestselling author Dr. John Gottman and fellow researcher Julie Gottman, Eight Dates offers an ingenious and simple-to-implement approach to effective relationship communication. Here are the subjects that every serious couple should discuss: Trust. Family. Sex and intimacy. Dealing with conflict. Work and money. Dreams, and more. And here is how to talk about them—how to broach subjects that are difficult or embarrassing, how to be brave enough to say what you really feel. There are also suggestions for where and when to go on each date—book your favorite romantic restaurant for the Sex & Intimacy conversation (and maybe go to a yoga or dance class beforehand). There are questionnaires, innovative exercises, real-life case studies, and skills to master, including the Four Skills of Intimate Conversation and the Art of Listening. Because making love last is not about having a certain feeling—it’s about both of you being active and involved.
