They're not as esoteric as you might think…

That’s like reading the entire Harry Potter series, but instead of fighting Voldemort, you’re fighting that wanting feeling and a lot of shitty dates. With the number of dating advice books on my Kindle, I’m worried it might start dating on its own. It’s seen more romance than a hall of mirrors at a kissing booth!

But eventually, I figured it out. If I can ‘keep it real’ with you, I solved the problem.

60% were my own issues.

With all the books I’ve read, there seem to be common and consistent themes, and I want to share them with you! The treasure chest of dating wisdom is more like a well-worn road map with the same towns and pit stops highlighted. So buckle up and ride shotgun with me on this journey. No need to fork out the big bucks for gas or tolls — this article’s your free ticket to Datingville!
