Surrendered Single: A Practical Guide to Attracting and Marrying the Man Who's Right for You Author: Laura DoyleCast your fears aside, ladies: in this case, "surrendered" doesn't mean "doormat"--which is not to say that The Surrendered Single might not raise a few eyebrows. Laura Doyle (The Surrendered Wife) has some pretty insistent basics for women on the dating circuit that may not always sit well with modern feminists. Don't ask him out? Throw out your mental checklist of what you want from a mate? Smile openly at every man you pass on the street? Expect that he'll pay for dinner?

Yep. And according to those who have already surrendered, this old-school stuff works. The book is easy to read; entertaining dating stories are mixed with lots of bullet-pointed lists focused on self-esteem ("good self care is attractive") and myth debunking ("no one respects flirtatious women") that range from truly helpful to slightly simplistic.

Following Doyle's techniques may require a fair amount of modification on your part, but her ideas are aimed at opening yourself up to a loving, stable relationship, rather than simply angling for that ring on your finger from whatever deer you've caught in your matrimonial headlights. If you think it's time to implement some changes in your dating routine, you may find just what you need by "surrendering." --Jill Lightner Love is Attracted in ... not PromotedThis will explain why online dating, matchmaking, speed dating are helpful outlets to meet someone new who may be a great match ... but often times you end up just making a new friend. Love is attracted in is a different concept compared to more "go out there" methods but worth a try if the later hasn't really worked. A kind Christian approach of love being an inside out job.Not what you think!I know that I, personally, being a Christian, thought that because of the title 'Surrendered Single', that this book was religiously based. However, it is not, just for those of you who are wondering! 'Surrendered Single' was an interesting read, and it brings up some valid points. I don't agree with all of them but overall it was a decent book.The Best Book I've Read on Both Getting Dates and Finding the OneI just finished reading this last night. I've read MEN ARE FROM MARS, GETTING THE LOVE YOU WANT, THE RULES, THE REAL RULES, STOP BEING THE STRING ALONG and HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU. I found all of these books really good, no complaints. I found this book, THE SURRENDERED SINGLE to be the best and my favorite. It gives you so much practical advice that you can start using right now as well as advice for the future at every step of dating, choosing or letting go, committed relationships, and into and through marriage. It was very fast reading for me because it was so interesting and I liked that she gave both positive and negative examples of the experiences of women that she treated, as well as her own life and love experiences. It's already been helping me and I've made little adjustments just in replying and responding to certain situations and that has brought huge, good results in connecting and romance! more...
