August 17, 2011This book was given to me by a pastors wife...so before my son read it, I read it first
I am not really sure that this is the book I want my children reading...I don't like the fact that the stereotypical way for a girl to act is propogated in this book "the man is the hunter, let him hunt" I don't want my daughter not to be independent, to change who she is or how she acts or to put on the back, burner the purpose God has for her life to put a man first...if they learn this early in childhood they are in for a lifetime of misery...I put the book down after a few chapters, this is not for my daughter or my son!
We should be teaching our children to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, not to turn themselves into pretzels trying to attract mates

Wouldn't it be cool if you could do a focus group on your "target audience"? That’s exactly what this book is. These authors (Justin Lookadoo and Hayley Morgan) writing styles are a serious but funny kind of standpoint. I love reading their books because they give real information that will help and it's really what I need right now. Especially as a young adult, it is important to have this knowledge with me. This book "the Dateable Rules" was made enjoyable and funny with comments and pictures they draw out to make it much more relaxed and fun to read like a book should be. Justin Lookadoo and Hayley Morgan both have a particular style that they use throughout every book they make that I personally enjoy.
The Dateable Rules provides an intriguing way to read this double-sided book for all people (Males have a side and Females have a side) who are interested in learning about how you should really be dealing with your dating. There are several ways to read this book depending on how you would like to read it. There is also a way in the front where it shows a map of the way you can go around through the chapters in a different order but it still works out correctly. There is s a single picture that is a drop of what because in the first section of the book and throughout it explains it all. The lettering and bold writing really stick out and make you read them in a good way because what they are saying seems to get you more intrigued by the book.
The main idea of the books work is to inform and persuade the reader to believe what is being taught in this book. The Dateable Rules book was groundbreaking because of how there are not many other books like it, if any at all. Along with that is how it’s written, it has been written very well and thought out in the order each chapter is. It is a very interesting book and I have bought more books from this author already because I liked the first one I read so much. It has been made way different than any other books I have ever read. I believe everyone would enjoy reading this book because of how important this life topic is for everyone to learn.
Everything about this book definitely stands out to me and is very powerful. The authors contribute by letting us know how God's words relate to the book and everything about it. God’s words are not forced and they come up in the right places to help explain the book better naturally. They are definitely effective to me and others but I don't know if affects everyone. They give insight into exactly what that section of the book is talking about from another perspective if you are not understanding it.
In conclusion, I would give both sides of this book a ⅘ star rating. I have not once bought books for myself or others so when I bought these it was very clear they were important. This book is perfect to learn from and that is why I have already shared this book with people and bought other books from these writers. It is very important to read and live out in your life in my opinion. It's very important in my life to have this mindset and keep this in my head as I date and for the future to let my children know what to think about when they date.

This is not what I thought it was, a continuation of
. This is actually for a group (such as a youth group) who wishes to discuss the topics/issues from Dateable. DO NOT make the mistake of thinking this is "a guide to the sexes," it is a guide for the two sexes in church youth groups.

This was a great book for teens approaching the dating age. I wish I had read a book like this before I started dating because it would have changed a lot of things. I used this book with my eight-grade discipleship group and they loved it. They were shocked to hear the truth but it helped them see things from a different perspective.

If you are Christian, a teenager, and read a bible on a daily basis, this is the book for you.

I'm going to be honest here... I read both sides. They put both the guys' and the girls' in one book, so of course some of us are going to read both to see what the other side says. I found both sides extremely informative and hope to apply all these to my life from now on. It makes the differences between guys and girls make more sense. This book provides excellent insight to the thinking process of both genders and hits both spot on (I believe). I feel like I will treat my friends and other people a lot better because I have read this book. I highly recommend that everyone reads this book, especially teenagers.

A really cute book that helps young girls a lot to understand a few things that girls would otherwise be oblivious to.
