Definitely an eye opener! I’ve been ignoring a lot of red flags and not putting myself first all for the sake of “potential”. This book made me realize that I don’t need to settle for less than I deserve, not everyone will adore me, but “the one” will. This book talks about to become “the one” for yourself, how to love yourself, recognize your worth, and to stop wasting energy on those who don’t.

Wanted to try this workbook not because I'm uncomfortable being single, but because this seemed interesting to me and I wanted to reflect to be as intentional as possible with all of my relationships.
Overall, I did not like some of the assumptions that this book made, and some of the questions it left open. First, the big takeaway from the book is to never settle, but I don't really like the idea of "settling," which creates kind of a weird hierarchy of humanity. I wish it was a little more oriented towards just choosing yourself. Second, some of the advice I found to be a little contradictory - on the one hand, it says to have more faith in people (believe in people's ability to change for example, rather than thinking every man is terrible) but also it says to not fall in love with someone's potential. I found it very hard to balance both of these notions.
I wish this book generally had some more reflection on navigating relationships with friends, family, and yourself - instead it was definitely more geared towards romantic relationships, and sometimes read a little like an infomercial. There were also definitely random phrases that were trying to connect to the general public, but just made me feel a little uncomfy - references to Canada Goose Jackets or the whole idea of Kanye Confidence and Drake feelings coming from this white boy. It also always operated in a gender binary.
The book also focuses on finding your "person," and saying no to anyone who exhibits any red flags or doesn't go to your "why". But I am someone who is not necessarily oriented towards monogamy, and I actually am happy to be in different situations where maybe someone isn't my "person," and I would have liked to reflect more on what those situations could be and when to leave those situations. However, in reflecting in how I didn't agree with some of the premises of the book, I actually ended up answering some of my own questions. I also could tailor the prompts more to my own values/beliefs/practices, and I did find the workbook style very helpful.

I found the title a bit misleading, it‘s not so much about being single, but using being single to figure out what you want from your dating life and relationships.
But it was great and useful. I learned stuff and I loved the journal prompts. It let me think about stuff that I hadn’t before.
After finishing it I feel more confident in knowing what I want!

Loved this. Great journal prompts and good reminders to focus on who you are and why you're dating. Simple and clear.

I've spent a lot of time reading about self-help, healthy attachment, and forming the best conections, but sometimes what I find amounts to information overload. I was very happy to find Case Kenny's work, which consolidates the most essential relationship advice into a fun, effective, and interactive, format. This book is not only about finding your soulmate, but it's also about personal authenticity and intuition, which are so imperative to sustaining a healthy and lasting relationship. Forget about wordiness or clutter interferring with your self-help journey. Case Kenny's book offers the most essential guidance packaged concisely with the fun, quirky voice of a really great friend. I greatly appreciate this book, as it invites everyone to do the necessary inner work, even those who may not typically enjoy reading. I hope this book continues to reach more people - it's reassuring and quick to get through. Also, self-awareness is one of the most attractive qualities a person can have!

Okay, despite the incredibly cringey title and middle school diary design of this book, it has great content. I was afraid it would be surface level and maybe not a great match for someone who has already spent time trying to dig deeper, but I was wrong. It offered me clarity on ideas I’ve been picking at for years.
I thought about giving 4 stars because some of the advice is a little presumptuous about the reader’s experience (e.g. assuming the reader struggles with self worth, assuming the reader gets ghosted frequently) leading the author to lose me in a few spots. BUT these spots were few and far between. It was mostly very salient points and useful advice that will actually change how I approach dating. This book/journal earned its 5 stars.

This is my second time reading a filling out this journal, and I’m not even sure how this is possible, but the second time around, it somehow has three times the value to me as the first journal I filled out. I like the idea that we grow through experience and no relationship is true failure, only the opportunity to learn. This book made me feel seen, for the second time. It was a boundary check, to ensure I’m honoring my boundaries and the boundaries of those I am dating with respect, which can be tricky. Case Kenny always lends a fresh perspective, and my life was changed the first time I read and filled this journal out… I suspect that this read has the potential to increase in value depending on your own experience and application. But if the second time going over all this has anywhere near the impact of the first time, it will have been at least 5 fold. I’m shook. For a second time. I don’t often read things twice. Thank you Case. For all these reminders. I can’t say enough good things; and If I said I was enjoying this book for the last time it’s cause I met my person. And if I haven’t by the end of next year, I suspect highly that I will be ordering a third copy of this journal to reflect on my experiences and be better for them. I can’t say enough good things.

Overall, enjoyed the book.
It's easy to get caught up in the new modern dating of ghosting and no responses. Sometimes it's tough being single. Though there may not be much content (147 pages with big font and prompts), some of the takeaway messages will help you gain insight on why you're dating and what to look out for. Some information is what we all heard before but it's said with a different perspective and examples, bringing new light to the statements/ideas.
I have new optimism and looking forward to where it may lead! I wish I read it sooner.

This book! If you are single and dating, this book is a MUST read. I found it scrolling through Facebook and thought, why not? Then by the 3rd chapter, I realized what a gem it was. He is very direct, makes you dig deep to find what you want and gives you the confidence to go for it. I can’t recommend it highly enough. If you’re on the fence, trust me, you won’t regret it!

I was going through a really tough time where I had a ton of self doubt. This book helped me focus on where I placed my value and sort out my feelings! I highly recommend it to anyone at any stage. I also recommend using pencil or different color pen to go back through a few times to reflect on where you were and how you have grown!

Much of it was inapplicable to me because of my own personal choices. Also, the author tends to repeat himself frequently. A good self-help book for those that are needing this kind of assistance.

very thought provoking! have recommended this to a lot of people!

It was definitely an amazing read! The journal aspect of it really got me through a tough time in my life.

Very brief and direct workbook style self help book using modern slang and very influencer-like angle on how to make the most of being single and dating with intention.

If you are single and want to work on how and who you pick for a partner. I highly recommend. This book really helped me make better choices for myself and stop settling!

It wasn't GROUNDBREAKING or anything (meaning nothing incredibly new), but I always find it incredibly helpful to hear these things again. It was helpful to have to look at myself positively. I liked the way things were worded a lot.

TO ALL THE SINGLES OUT THERE! If you’re stuck in the dating world far longer than you had hoped, this book will help you. You will learn who you are, what you want, your why for dating, your non-negotiables in relationships, etc. Just don’t forget to reread/reference it when you start dating/get into another relationship. Speaking from experience, I could have saved myself months of more hurt and failure if I had just reread this when I finally got back out there.

3.5 ⭐️
I definitely learned something from reading this book. Unclarity can be so common that we don’t notice it.
The perspective is interesting, I don’t agree with every approach, yet the chapters about “find your why”, “be the one”, and “non negotiable” where very worthwhile.
The way the narrative assumes the reader has a previous failed relationship/heartbreak was distracting.
(Based on the title I expected the book to be encouraging for staying single but not really 😂)

Case Kenny is somebody we would be friends with. Well done, man. Thanks for the encouragement. I will keep this and read it anytime I need it.
