Mr. Right Now: When Dating Is Better Than Saying "I Do"

By Rachel Safier

From the author of There Goes the Bride , here is book that talks to women about a new approach to life being single and thoroughly enjoy it! Rather than focusing on Mr. Right, women should use their dating experiences as a developmental process, a learning experience, a way of growing and maturing and deciding what you really want. Women can learn from Mr. Puppy Love, Mr. First Boyfriend, Mr. Swashbuckling Adventure, Mr. Sex, Mr. Serious Intellectual, Mr. Money, Mr. Best Friend, and others. Each chapter concludes with a section called "Been There, Learned This" which lists the specific learning experiences and lessons accomplished from each dating and relationship experience. The book is sharp, energetic, often humorous, and always on the mark.

A new perspective on dating

I enjoyed Rachel's newest book a lot. Once again, she is able to point out the key lessons from life experience. What is interesting is she claims that dating should be something we learn from and approach it that way, not as something to be dreaded or that we HAVE to do. Maybe she is suggesting to make it a little less serious and take it for what it is, not as a means to an end. In a society where marital status still plays heavily into how we fit in, this book encourages us to date and learn about ourselves. It's not all about husband-hunting and that is okay. Take the pressure off. Embrace this time in your life.Rachel does a good job of taking real life examples and making them pertinent to your own. You can see examples of atleast one man you have dated in this book. It's a refreshing new outlook. I really enjoyed it because it made me laugh.
