Conscious Dating:

How to Find the Love of Your Life & The Life That You Love (Google eBook)
Front Cover
3 Reviews
Relationship Coaching Institute, Nov 30, 2007 - Self-Help - 359 pages
We want to be happy in relationships, but don't know how. The old way of dating and mating simply doesn't work anymore. The rules have changed and most of us don't know what the new rules are. In searching for love, most singles are using trial and error, flying by the seat of their pants, or following bad advice. Conscious Dating does not offer manipulative or deceptive practices that compromise who you are, in fact it helps singles celebrate who they are and see being single as an opportunity and not a disease. This is not just another dating book filled with tired ideas about how to "get" a man or woman. Conscious Dating provides relationship information and strategies proven and tested with thousands of singles worldwide from a pioneering leader in the field of relationships.
