How to Date with Confidence by Arthur S. Richards Pdf
This lighthearted but not lightweight guide is dedicated to helping people who date: those who are starting to date for the first time; those who are beginning new relationships after the loss of a love partner (either through death or divorce); and those who are happy being single, yet want to increase their circle of quality friends. We will look at all aspects of dating: some of the differences between the sexes; identifying good places to meet; asking for a date; deciding whether to accept a date; whether to take risks and become vulnerable; deciding where to go and what to do on a date. We will talk about communication techniques, conflict resolution, and how to improve self-esteem. Some in this book is the result of the author's education and career in communication. He has tried to balance the heavy, really serious facts of life with a little jocularity and pseudo-intellectual frivolity, whenever possible-and when you least expect it. Dating is one of the most interesting, challenging, and rewarding experiences of life. It involves no governmental regulations. It is really effective diversional therapy. It can help you make some of the most important decisions in life. It can help answer such questions as, Who am I? ... Do I want to get married? ... Who should I marry? This book includes dating etiquette, social ABCs for all, what turns people on and off, conflict resolution, ground rules for handling differences, and how to make up. It ends with temperament and gender differences in communication, how to develop special friendships, the importance of appropriate touch, and what is love.
