Block, Delete, Move On: It's not you, it's them
Brought to you by Penguin.
Have you ever been on a disastrous date and vowed never to use apps again?
Are you blaming yourself for the things going wrong in your love life?
Do you always seem to become attached to people who treat you badly?
The sad truth is that when it comes to modern dating, there are a whole host of challenges and hurdles to overcome. From ghosting and negging to gaslighting and abuse, this book teaches you what to look out for, to make sure that you're not accidentally dating men with toxic traits who secretly hate women, or who just want to have sex and run.
It will empower you to use your voice and walk away if you spot warning signs in relationships, by highlighting the red flags and the types of fuckboy that you might run into when dating, as well as the green flags and signs that indicate a healthy partnership.
This is not a dating book that promises to find you a person to love; instead, it will help you spot the troublesome ones before it is too late. It will help you to recognise that you possess spectacular buff ting energy and that it's perfectly possible to be contentedly single.
Most importantly, this audiobook will give you the power to block, delete and move on with living your best life.
PLEASE When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I preordered this when it was first announced. Thinking I wouldn’t get much from it but wanting to support an absolute powerhouse of a woman who’s Instagram page I adore.
Well, joke’s on me because by the time I arrived I’m deep in the trenches of the apps and trying to navigate dating again without making the same mistakes and letting my traumas do the talking.
So it turns out this was the perfect book at the perfect time.
Lala doesn’t sugarcoat. She tells you to stop being a twat and treat yourself how you deserve to be treated. But she does it with kindness, experience, empathy, and a huge wealth of knowledge.
I told her last night reading it feels like a slap and a cuddle all in one. A call to pull my big girl pants up and stop settling for less than the absolute most, as I deserve!
This book is essential reading for any women (it is predominately aimed at cis women who date cis men, but I think you can get a lot of out if if you don’t fit those parameters) who are wading through the murky waters of dating. Anybody who has been made to feel not good enough by men who most definitely aren’t.
It covers everything from ghosting and lying, attachment styles and fuckboys, to staying safe and physical and sexual assault.
It’s given me a LOT to think about and take into any relationships - no matter how casual or serious - going forward.

In theory, I didn't need to read this book. As somehow, with none of this advice or knowledge to hand, five years ago, I managed to find a 'decent man' on Tinder, and more recently, successfully convinced him to become my husband - for I am indeed, a spectacular buff ting.
However, I know for a fact that ten years ago, my 19 year old self could have really done with this book. This book would have taught me everything I really needed to know. And whilst I have instead learned many of the lessons detailed in this book the hard way, it was oddly comforting to know that the red flags I missed and the experiences I now regret, did not only happen to me. This book has helped 29 year old me to normalise and accept that I was just doing the best I could with the little information I had at the time. This book has helped me to let go of some of the shame I still carry with me from incidents I'd really rather forget.
So whilst definitely a significantly helpful resource for someone navigating dating apps, it still has relevance for those currently more settled in terms of relationships.
I will 100% recommend this book to all my friends and colleagues with daughters of a particular age group.

Škoda, že si túto knihu neprečítalo moje mladšie ja. Ušetrila by mi slzy, zlomené srdce a pocity nepochopenia a osamelosti. No každá skúsenosť, aj tá negatívna nás formuje a posúva vpred, takže som koniec koncov za všetko vďačná. Kniha mi nepriniesla nič nové, myslím si však, že by si ju mali prečítať všetky ženy, ktoré ešte stále nepoznajú vlastnú sebahodnotu a chcú za každú cenu randiť a zaplniť tak prázdno vo svojom vnútri.

I really wanted to enjoy this book, but honestly I just didn't really vibe with it.
While there was a lot of good information in it and I think the overall message was an empowering one, there were definitely parts I thought were questionable and that I wouldn't necessarily want a teenage girl to read as her first experience of dating advice or feminist writing.
For example, "...it's less likely a man is going to feel like he was used for sex by a woman, and in most cases, if he was, he'd probably just be happy that he got to have sex." This is problematic because it enforces patriarchal messages that men should "just be happy they got laid" when consent is vitally important from both parties. While I think no harm was meant by this, it's not a good message especially for teenage girls who are quite impressionable and may think coercing men into bed is different to men coercing women. It's poor advice in a book about dating - you won't get genuine connection by using men and it also won't make you feel better, perhaps just powerful for the couple of days that follow (red flag). While women statistically suffer more severely from "fuckboys" than men do from "fuckgirls", the idea isn't to lower ourselves to their level. Being a "fuckgirl" is not excusable, even if we have it worse in the dating game. Feminism isn't about women getting to be like men, it's about women being themselves without discrimination, fear or violence. Don't fight the patriarchy by becoming the patriarchy.
The other thing that stuck out to me as problematic was, "...if a man does not offer to pay, I take it as a sign that he is not interested. I will always offer to split the bill, but if he doesn't decline my offer, we will be unlikely to have a second date." I personally don't agree at all with making an offer that is insincere and sets someone up for failure. People cannot mind-read and this comes across as immature and disingenous to me - not a great start for a relationship. It's misleading and if you're unwilling to pay for a date because of ideas of chivalry or anything else, let your date know or just don't make the offer to split the bill in the first place. Don't play games - it's exhausting.
At times it felt as if the author was criticising the patriarchy while making comments from a patriarchal perspective. Don't get me wrong, there was a lot of good stuff in this book, but there were statements that gave me the ick frequently enough throughout the book that made it an uncomfortable read. If I was to recommend a book on feminism and dating, I'd definitely suggest Bell Hooks' "All About Love" over this one.

Oops, I just binge listened to this audiobook in one go!
I’ve been following @lalalaletmeexplain on Instagram for a couple of years, and it’s been such a safe place to discuss sex, relationships and dating.
If you are someone who is currently single, dating, or in a relationship, and need some guidance navigating some tricky things, I highly recommend this book, as well as following her Instagram account.

Ik houuuuuu van dit boek!!!!! Zo een must read voor eigenlijk elke vrouw* in haar twenties!!! Oprecht waardevolle adviezen & heeft mij ook enorm laten reflecteren joehoe
November 27, 2022
There is so much about this book that I absolutely loved, but I feel that it's important to address my issue with it first. There were some places that standard patriarchal opinions/judgements crept in which weren't caveated to show that this is the unfortunate reality that exists and isn't how it should be but is the current reality (if you see what I mean). For those of us familiar with the patriarchal problem these are easy to spot and understand but for younger readers, it could be easy for them to accept that is how things are meant to be. I was also a little put off by the advice about getting the man to pay on the first date and splitting the bill being a sign of disinterest on one or both sides. Personally I neither want or need a new man to pay my way, that is a privilege that is earned on both sides, when we get to that point we pay each others way, early relationships should be financially balanced so there is no expectation of 'I paid for this so I deserve that'.
Those two issues aside, I loved Lala's approach to this, it is both a warm hug and a cold glass of water in the face for those wanting to be in or are in the dating game, with the cold hard reality given along side all the niceties. Lala covers everything from getting through the apps, spotting those not there for genuine/pleasant reasons, and how to be safe throughout the whole process, which sadly is still something we all need to think about. It is aimed at cis women dating cis men, which Lala explains at the outset as that is her experience, but I believe there is helpful information for everyone within its pages (if I may be so bold to say so). While much of this may be available elsewhere and may be known or obvious to many, having it all together in such a open, friendly chat kind of way just makes it that little bit easier and more comprehensive. And a way for all readers to access without having to worry about leaving an internet trail that parents or others might find (far easier to hide a book than digital fingerprints, even a bright pink book).

Nezvyknem čítať takýto typ literatúry ale táto kniha je naozaj super. Okrem toho, že je napísaná pravdivo a vychádza zo skúseností autorky, odborných kníh a článkov je zároveň aj vtipná. Priznávam sa, že v niektorých častiach knihy som sa dokonca našla aj ja a niektoré pasáže mi otvorili oči. Táto kniha nie je určená len pre ženy ale je určená pre každého, pretože hovorí o vzťahoch vo všeobecnosti a o tom, na čo si dávať pozor a akým situáciam predísť.
Rozdelenie kapitol je jasné a sú rozdelené na deväť hlavných častí, v ktorých okrem textu vieme nájsť aj stránky so sloganmi a rôznymi motivačnými citátmi a myšlienkami. Všetky časti, ktoré citujú nejaké vedecké poznatky sú vysvetlené veľmi jasne.
V skratke túto knihu by som odporúčala prečítať všetkým, pretože je v nej sila a pomáha nám uvedomiť si našu hodnotu a to ako vnímame nie len ostatných ale aj samých seba.

Where to even start!! Amazing doesn’t do it justice! It is the book I, like so many young teenage girls. needed & still do. Lalala is like a friend, sister and teacher bundled into one in Block Delete Move On! There is so much to relate to in this book & so many a-ha moments. Brilliant advice coming from a qualified person combined with personal experiences made this an excellent read. I couldn’t put it down. Everyone needs to read this - Friends, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, cats & dogs! I’d of avoided so many shitty experiences that I thought were acceptable at the time if I’d of known even half of what was in this book back then! I absolutely loved it!

I’ll be that person. I don’t like comparing books in reviews BUT ‘Women don’t owe you pretty’ is such an overhyped garbage compared to Lala. This is the book that should be plugged on all those shelves. Read this instead please — she’s someone with far more experience and actually knows what she’s talking about. I’m not talking about just dating a lot or reading all the right books but actual social work, child protection and domestic abuse experience.
It’s not just an advice on dating book (that’s about 1-2 chapters). It’s about harmful social narrative, consent, recognizing abuse and warning signs, self love and so much more.
At least follow her on Instagram, only her poll time worth it.

Absolutely brill, could not put it down, essential for any woman

A great starting point for self-healing and a guide for dating. If you had never been on a date before, I feel like this book provides you with plenty of tools and cautionary tales to have fun, be safe and to not take s**t.
For anyone who believes they are impacted by Limerence, there are a few case studies about it and I created this tool if you wish to monitor the impact a person or Limerent Object, has on you - The higher the score the more you are effected - Limerence Measuring Instrument
A book by women for women and that is not shy from being a perfect book. I believe that this should be required reading for men, I have had many conversations with my friends and their partners about sections of this book whilst i've been reading it. Sparking incredible debates from people with contrasting opinions.
I proof read this book to gift to my friend who is wonderful, passionate, outgoing and lively soul. Vulnerability doesn't always look the same or sound the same. Those with lots of love in their life can be easily taken advantage of and find themselves accepting that people will change, it's not because they're naive, it's because they care and they wish the best for people. This book can direct you to best support yourself, supporting yourself does not always mean go it alone. Asking for help can feel to be one of the hardest steps you ever take. I feel like this book validates your feelings and encourages you to be better, to love life. A great starting point for self-healing.
There is a lot in this book that I didn't expect and I genuinely do believe that all of these topics should be taught about, boys and men should be taught differently. I know if/when me and my prospective partner decide to have children that sensitive conversations will be taking place.
(I annotated the heck out of this book, with personal experiences, expanding on topics and adding a male perspective to a few of the situations.
I strongly believe that a "decent man" is not the be all end all of dating. Obviously it's nuanced but you still have to listen to your heart, your gut and your attraction. Decent does not mean someone has everything figured out, it's not a get out of jail free card because someone is sincerely apologetic for their past mistakes. A person conscientious of your feelings can still cause you distress, even by accident and just because you believe the person is of good heart and character, they can still cause you anxiety, trauma and to be co-dependant. Know your triggers, question their intentions and your own, if you can't see past a situation, ask yourself why and explore it. Just because someone is decent, don't allow it to control your life if they unintentionally cause you harm.
something else, if you meet a decent soul and you both realise that you don't wish to pursue a romantic relationship, explore the option of a friendship. Having conscientious, considerate people in your life, no matter your gender, can bring positive energy and make you feel socially affluent.)

I bought the physical book and I’m so glad I did as it is gorgeous, a vivid hard cover and glossy pages that are clearly meant to be referred back to time and time again.
It’s not just for women who are dating, either - it’s full of advice and things to look out for in relationships too, and talks about the common toxic traits that we need to learn to identify in ourselves as well as others. It’s also useful for providing context and validation to past experiences.
There is a lot of information packed between the pretty slogan pages, all structured into clear chapters and sections that make it easy to digest or drop in and out at your favourite parts. Long words and scientific information is explained clearly and often with sources referenced. That doesn’t stop it being hilarious, there are some brilliant one liners in here that I’m sure my friends and I will continue to quote to each other for a long time.
I will be passing this book to all my friends and demand that they read it as I genuinely believe that this book will improve the individual lives of every woman who read it, and potentially even society itself if enough of us put it into practice!
Well done and thank you Lala.

“So, when ‘Gary’ jumps into conversations about rape or domestic violence to defend men’s honour by letting us know that not every single man in the world is a danger to women, he just sounds like a dickhead.”
Strongly recommend this book which I think is a much needed read for many of us !

A love letter to women everywhere. I very much enjoyed this book! Educational and uplifting! As a single woman trying to date in a disastrous landscape in a foreign country, my friend told me this book was much needed for me and I absolutely agree.

Essential reading for any single ladies attempting to date cis het men in the current climate. I have already recommended it to an army of my friends. Pay it forward!

Such an important read! Full to the brim with real advice, no toxic positivity here, just honest and sincere content. It does exactly what it says on the tin.
There are so many books on how (straight, cisgender) men think, how they approach women and how they should be treated… like they’re a prize, when they really aren’t. This book teaches you to put yourself first, see the beauty in reclaiming your power and take control of your dating life. I learnt a lot and I highly recommend it for any modern woman out there navigating online dating, and dating in general. More from this author please!

I've always been interested in learning how things are for the opposite sex, this started from reading Lily Allen's autobiography; until I read that I've never really thought of things from the other perspective, probably due to being in only one relationship, one that's strong and still ongoing. This book opened up a whole new thought process for me and despite (hopefully) never having to relate to much in this book, the insight is valuable and something you can pass on to friends, family and future generations. If like me, you think this book has nothing to do with you, read it. It'll change a lot of things.

Baaaardzo basicowa książka o randkowaniu. Jak się już niejedno widziało, a podstawy feminizmu komuś nieobce, to nie wyniesie się z tej książki absolutnie nic nowego. Wydaje mi się, że idealną grupą docelową tego poradnika są kobiety 40+, które dopiero co skończyły długoletni związek, cała era internetowego randkowania je ominęła, próbują się odnaleźć w nowej rzeczywistości i potrzebują lekkiego boostu pewności siebie.

I’m a huge fan of the author’s instagram page and really like her no BS approach. This book was no different and I found it very relatable and informative. As well as the sections about what to look out for in terms of red flags when dating online, I found the content on attachment theory and limerance very helpful - I’ll definitely be reading up on both of these now I’ve finished the book.

This book isn't really written for me as I'm in a relationship with someone who isn't a fuckboy.
However, I bought it when I was single, so I read it anyway.
If you're someone who is absolutely fed up of the dating scene and feels hopeless when it comes to men, this is the book for you. I WISH I had read this when I was single - there would be far less losers in my past! Regardless, this book was refreshing, uplifting and overall informative.

I can't begin to explain how valuable this book has been for me. It's an essential read for anyone who struggles with dating. Insightful, compassionate and amazing, this book is filled with the kind of advice that no one really gives you and often has to be learnt through trial and error instead.

A great book with wonderful tips for women dating and trying to avoid the worse and the dangerous men out there.
Good to read if you are starting this dating path or just if you have friends that date so you can support them (I'm in the latter group).

I absolutely loved the book! I’ve been following @lalalaletmeexplain for a few years now and she didn’t disappoint. I wish I’d have been able to read this in my twenties. I liked her openness on own personal experiences . Will be recommending to anyone who identifies as female. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A 3.5 as some bits were absolutely genius. Definitely worth a read for some good insights into misogynistic behaviours. I’d recommend this to older teenagers!
