De-mystify dating once and for all! Dr. Henry Cloud addresses common dating issues and presents a "how to" guide for getting to know yourself and your date, so you can find (and keep) the love of your life.

Let's face it--dating isn't always fun. But starting today, you can begin a journey that will bring fun and interesting people into your life, broaden your experience of others and yourself, and lead you toward that date of all dates--a date worth keeping.

This book is for YOU if . . .

  • You want to get more dates or better dates.
  • You wonder where "the good ones" are.
  • You keep repeating the same old cycle in your dating life and want to change it.
  • You wonder why people who aren't as nice as you get all the dates.
  • You're attracted to the wrong kind, while the right kind lack the "chemistry."
  • You're waiting for God to bring you the right person--and you've been waiting an awfully long time.
  • You wonder what it is about you that fails to attract dates.

With over ten years of experience personally coaching singles on dating, Dr. Henry Cloud shares his proven, very doable, step-by-step approach to overcoming your sticking points and getting all the dates you could want.

The results speak for themselves. Filled with true-life examples you'll identify with instantly, How to Get a Date Worth Keeping will prove its worth to you many times over in the exciting months ahead.

"Having read a couple of Dr. Cloud's books previously, this one looked interesting to me. I've been meeting guys lately, but they are not usually what I'd call "quality men." So I got the book from Audible and have been listening to it. Dr. Cloud promises to have you dating in 6 months, so I'm journalling my progress on my OKCupid page. I need to make friends more than anything else, but I often fall into the same ruts as he discusses int he book, and as many others. I mentioned this book to a friend and said Assignment 1 is "write down every eligible man you meet for a month." She said "that's easy: zero!" I said unless she was a shut-in that's literally IMPOSSIBLE and even if she is a shut-in, she might have a plumber or electrician or mailman or pizza delivery guy so that's no excuse. I'm working my way through it but I'm hopeful."

    " Lately I've been driving myself crazy with dating books, but this book is pretty solid. Definitely worth picking up. I guess the one big takeaway for me was that if you date someone you normally wouldn't consider (given that they are a safe person) you could really learn something about yourself and maybe even discover something you'd like about a person you never thought you would (or didn't like). "

    " started reading this book in october... i get bored with it and read more interesting books along the way but still pick it up from time to time...or maybe i'm just in denial about my so-called love life LOL... i'm not really much of a "self help" book reader anyway but someone told me it had some good points in it...

    " besides the specific dating-related stuff, there's just some solid advice here on how to enjoy life more. it's definitely a christian book, but not at all obnoxiously so, and not in a way that makes it irrelevant to people of other persuasions. "

    " OK, I've found that one should read one of his books at a time! I just started listening to this one this morning and found it paralleled perfectly to "how people grow" and I now wonder just how much my brain can hold without exploding! So far it is a great read/listen, something that I know I will put to good use as it is practical teaching on how to find that date worth keeping...and I'm only on chapter 5! "

    " This is the most helpful book ever and I think everyone (especially all my fellow single friends) should read it with me! Cloud has a realistic and reasonable grasp on the dating world and I think he gives feasible and positive advice that leads to success in dating. "
