The novel The dating games by Natalie Standiford is about three high school girls; Lina, Holly and Madz. These girls are best friends and are in the same sex-ed class. For one of their projects they have decided to make a website to find out if guys or girls are more sex crazed. On the website they have many surveys and a matchmaking service for kids at their school. Along the way the author talks about the girls love lives and the unfortunate couples they've paired.
There is many things the author portrayed well in the book such as forming the relationships between characters and developing them to make them feel like real people. I also enjoyed how the text was put in a 'modern' way, instead of all just text it showed emails also. I think the author should've left out some of the relationships, because at a certain point all the relationships just become confusing and too drawn out. I think the authors purpose of this book was to demonstrate the mind of teenagers through the three teen girls. She shows many examples of the 'average' kids thoughts. During the story the author goes in depth about the sex craze of teens and the typical life of a teenager. A message you could receive from this text is teens go through more than what is expected.
I overall would rate this book a 6.5/10, because the book doesn't really have much purpose. It is although a very interesting story to read, it has many uplifting parts. I would recommend this book to any teenage girl, who is interested in a romantic drama novel. I would recommend this to them because the book would spark their interest.

sexist, plotless, and apparently written by a fifth-grader:
"I'm going to get some experience, Mads vowed. She knew exactly whom she wanted to get it with. Another image flashed into her mind. Sean. He shook his hair in the sunlight and smiled his gleaming smile at her. Oh yeah."

This book was not that well put together. I honestly did not really like this book. It was all kind of “smooshed together” toward the ending, and at the end when they said what was going to happen with Sean and Mads, it wasn’t very clear what all happened. Everything happened too quickly. However, I think the characters are very relatable. Mads, Holly, and Lina seem like three average teenage girls who would go to our school. They are well developed because they are very mature, and most of the time, know right from wrong. They also learn from their mistakes.
The plot was realistic for this book because the characters are real, everyday high school students. This book actually wasn’t all that predictable. For example, when Mads went to Sean’s party at his house, things that I never would’ve guessed happened. It moves very slow in some chapters, but in the majority of the chapters, it moves way too fast and doesn’t give all the information it should.
The author’s style of writing is very hard to follow and the story itself is very confusing to put all the pieces of it together. I don’t really like their style because it was hard to keep up with for most of the story. The style is too “wordy.” For example, when Mads, Holly, and Lina were at their school dance, the chapter for it was way too long. But when Lina went to Dan’s house to give him a poem, there wasn’t enough information included to say what all happened. The author’s style is very dry, and it seems like she was trying a little too hard.
I think the point of the book was to show that people aren’t always who they say they are. They try to impress others, because they are sometimes too insecure about who they themselves really are. Toward the end of the story though, the characters stopped trying to impress each other, and acted like the person they really were. And even though I didn’t really like this book too much, that was probably the best part of this book for me. So when someone wants to impress somebody, they shouldn’t try to be somebody they’re not, because everyone is special in their own way. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to put pieces of stories together.

In the book The Dating Game by Natalie Standiford there are three teenage girls in a class doing a survey project, and there main topic is “Who is more obsessed with sex, boys or girls?” And throughout the book there are parties and dates and plenty of drama, all because of the girl’s school wide survey. In all I think that the author’s purpose of this book is explaining that all the high school drama is just exactly that, drama. And that no matter what it won’t go away so everyone shouldn’t worry. In the book there are tears and laughter and fights and fun, but the ending is surprising to me. At first I did not like the ending for the way it ended but then finding out it was one of a series it made more sense and I ended up liking the ending more. Also the type of person who would probably want to read this book would be a teenage girl or guy in high school because it actually relates a lot to my high school so I really understood it all. Someone who wouldn’t want to read this book is a person who doesn’t like anything to do with young adult books or someone who hasn’t been in high school for awhile.

This book was terrifying. These girls are only 15! They are so young, naive, and delusional.
One quote had me laughing: "Madison was thirsty." Considering the colloquial meaning of thirsty, I'd agree 100%. She was absolutely desperate for attention and validation, which was pretty sad.
Lina came across as creepy. Her whole situation was a bit too stalker-y for me to handle. I found myself cringing and hoping that it would all STOP.
I felt bad for Holly. She seemed somewhat normal, if a bit jaded (at such a young age!).
Overall, this book left a bad taste in my mouth. And it made me feel really, really old.

A cute, funny little book. It's a really light read. The three girls have such interesting stories about love that is so fitting for this age group.

*2,5 sterren*
Het was wel een oké boek, niet erg bijzonder en niet erg diepgaand. Het was wel gewoon leuk om te lezen en het is ook een goed boek om 'even tussendoor' te lezen.

I honestly really loved this book. It made me giggle that people are calling it immature and inappropriate for girls that age.
I went to high school and trust me, this book is not far from the truth. I think it’s honestly quite realistic, and the people saying it’s inappropriate might just be too old to read the book, or just too up tight.

The premise of the book was really interesting, but the execution was a bit lack luster. The character development lacked and was based on the typical teenage stereotypes. While it was a cute read, it doesnt have much else going for it.

Cute book! The author does a good job capturing what High School is like. I was in HS when this came out in 2005 and I can attest to what role websites like The Dating Game were playing in our lives. At that time, running home to check Myspace and instant messages was a big thing. Great teen novel!

Read this to be nostalgic about being in high school in the 2000s. Literally the worst. The obsession with a teacher is out of control unbelievable. No redeeming qualities. YA doesn't mean the reader is stupid, just immature.

how was this not made into an early 2000s teen movie?

One of the most “useful” classes you can take is sex-ed. Sexual Educations teaches about the girl body and the boy body as they go from children to adult, and where they suddenly become attracted to each other. When girls lose their cuties, boys are no longer gross, and they want to get together. This class, taught to the students in grade ten at Rosewood School for Alternative Gifted Education (RSAGE) have to take Interpersonal Human Development (IHD), with the final project being what the social dynamics between a man and a women, how they are trial in court, speed tickets, to how often they think about sex.
Holly, Mads and Lina decided to do their IHD together, but what to do for their final project? After a few drinks they started a website called The Dating Games; the objective was to figure out whose more obsess with sex: boys or girls? They also set it up so students at RSAGE could only access it, and made it a match maker service, with them in charge. For Mads this was about getting Sean Benedetto, a senior at the school, to fall madly in love with her. Only it back fired at her, as when she final went on her date with Sean he thought she was a child who was “inexperience” for him, giving her the nickname kid. Mads knew she has to get experience if she was ever going to get Sean, so she puts on her midriffs and miniskirts, knowing this is how you get rid of an unwanted virginity. Where Holly was the only one in the trio who had sex, she knew it was not that big of a deal as Mads made it out to be. Holly wants something real, and to stopped being called the school slut, thanks to her ex-boyfriend. When the nicest guy comes around, Holly has to decide whether he is worth it or not. Where Mads trying to be a slut, and Holly trying to get her slut reputation gone, Lina is stuck in the middle with nothing to-do. Except for the fact Lina is head over heels with her IDH teacher Dan (they call their teacher’s by their first name). Yet Lina has competition as a group of goth girls are obsess with Dan as she is, making Lina act fast to steal his heart before them.
Teenage trash. This is what the book is like. You could take scraps of paper from the garbage and write a better book then this. In the authors Natalie Standiford does have a good writing style that is one point making the book go by fast. The first problem you accouter is the point of view. It is third person, so it feels like you are watching the story from above, but it follows a different character each chapter, and sometimes switching in the middle of the chapter. Making the point of view of Lina, Mads and Holly hard as you keep getting the three of them mixed up. The second issue is the “love” part of the story. Holly is okay, her peers thinks she’s a slut (she’s not) and her “life” in the story is to make people see past her breasts and find a nice guy. Lina she look up what happens to teachers who date students would realize her and Dan will never work out. Yet she is crazy about him, not even giving good guy Walter a chance do to her pinning someone she cannot have. Mads, oh Mads. At age fifteen she is furious that no guy wanted to bang her. Currently in the United States the average age to have sex is seventeen, but Mads feels like she’s the only one who has not done it yet. All for Sean! A guy who calls her kid, and before their IDH project never looked twice at her. “ ‘I got something in the mail from Sean!’ Mads waved another piece of paper in front of them. Lina snatched it. ‘This is a bill from the carpet-cleaning service,’ she said. ‘Seventy-five dollars.’ ” If that is not true love, I do not know what is.

Niet heel boeiend. Voor 15-jarige meisjes is het vast wel leuk om te lezen. ^^ De 3 hoofdpersonen zijn vooral kinderachtig en onrealistisch. Als je van hersenloos lezen en drama houdt, give it a try. Het was verder ook niet echt een compleet verhaal. Ondanks dat het een 1e deel van een serie is, had ik toch gehoopt op iets meer afsluiting.

Madison, Holly and Lina decide that for a class project, they will prove that guys think about sex more than girls. They figured they can set up a website with some questions for all the kids in their school to answer, and that would prove it. Maybe they could even match up people who had similar interests! What they find though, is that even in an anonymous questionnaire their classmates lie and exaggerate their experience. It's not all bad though, the girls figure they can set themselves up with their crushes through the guise of having it be part of the matchmaking service they are offering. Unfortunately, trying to guess who someone is when they don't tell the truth can be...tricky. The girls have lots of ups and downs with their dating game and discover the truth about which gender thinks about sex more.
This was a fun read. It was light and interesting. The three main characters were only mildly self-obsessed, but at least I found their flaws entertaining. I liked the whole concept behind this story. The girls have to do a class project for sex ed and decide to make a website poll sort of thing after they took a "What Color is Your Love Aura" quiz. It was a new idea and I enjoyed it and the format that it took within the novel. It broke up the prose in a nice way, along with the IMs.
Most of the secondary characters blend together. There were a couple that stood out, because their was something unique about them. Dan was a young teacher that many of the girls had crushes on. There was a geek that Madison was consistently mean to. Things like that are what made the characters stand out. I'm hoping that there is more development as the series goes along. This book only took place in a month or so.
I'm very interested to see what happens in the next novel, because their were a couple characters in this one that I want to see how their situations pan out.This was a very light, pretty fun read. If you want something that will make you chuckle and is a quick read, check this one out.
First Line:
"I love Sean Benedetto."
Favorite Lines:
"'I got something in the mail from Sean!' Mads waved another piece of paper in front of them. Lina snatched it.
'This is a bill from a carpet-cleaning service,' she said. 'Seventy-five dollars.'
'I know.' Mads took it back and carefully replaced it in its envelope. 'I'll treasure it forever.'"

Oh boy.. Right so. First off, I disliked knowing everybody's names. Ex: Kayla Ashton, Karl Levine, Keith Carter, Derek Scotto, etc.. We never really see much of Keith Carter anyway, so why is his last name important?
The characters are selfish, immature, and annoying. I don't mind Holly too much, because most of the time she seems to know what's up. But Mads and Lina? URGH. Mads is so blinded by Sean that she doesn't care that he's got a girlfriend (or whatever she is), that he's only two grades above her and calls her "kid", and basically doesn't care about her at all. She thinks going out and being a slut's gonna make him like her. Don't people give up the first couple of rejections?
Furthermore, she's just as bad as Yucky Gilbert, and all these guys that are the same age as Sean practically pull down their pants for her (not literally but whatever) as soon as she wishes for it. What the hell?
And Lina. Lina!!! She over-analyzes everything related to Mr. Shulman. I couldn't help but roll my eyes while reading about Lina and her crush on the sex-ed teacher.
Ramona and her friends are unrealistic in their obsession with Mr. Shulman (what with the stealing of discarded used coffee cups and all). But Mr. Shulman irritates me too, because when their group presents their completely off-topic and ridiculous report, he doesn't notice!!! He compliments their conclusions. Also, Mr. Shulman asks too much of 10th graders with that project assignment - I don't blame Karl Levine for having a hard time thinking of an idea.
I don't know if this is really an accurate portrayal of normal high school girls, but I just recently graduated, and I don't remember high school ever being like this. Okay I'm done.

by Natalie Standiford
pg216
To start off this is the first book of the series but I read accidentally one of the other books in the series and still thought this book was interesting but reading it in order would probably be better. So it starts with 3 girls, a quiz and a question about dating if you find that this sound interesting try reading to the book to find out more. Having rumors with the hottest guy in school, wanting to date the hottest senior boy while having no experience and being madly in love with a teacher, interesting enough it will show how things pan out.
I liked many part of the book but my favorite was how they did a quiz and showed you the answers and how thy put horoscopes in the book for each character. They had quizzes that they made and the blurb on the back was a quiz and it was great and totally pulled me in.The way the story is writing is intresting too.
I think the people who should read this book is people who have like me read the other books first to understand it more. People who like horoscopes and love stories. This is totally a teenager book even if the age of the people in the book doesn’t seem old enough. Adults I don’t really advise reading this they will probably say how this is not what they act like and not understand. Girls would defiantly like this better because I think guys would find this too girly but would get a glimpse of some girls’ thoughts.

This book is about three girls, Madison, Lina, and Holly. They decide to do a project on which gender thinks about sex more and set up a quiz on a blog to test their theory and match up people. During their project they decide to work on their relationships with their crushes. While each one fails at their attempts they start to realize that not everyone is as experienced as the quiz responses made it seem.
I usually enjoy cute books like this but for some reason this book struck me wrong. I'm not sure if its because I never thought like that when I was in high school or what. Sex wasn't my number one goal. I just couldn't relate to these girls at all. Of course part of the problem could be the character development. Another issue I had was how right in the middle of a chapter without warning there would be a character flip and I would get confused for a moment. I did enjoy the ideal of the book and with a little tweaking it would probably be a great book. Also since I'm older than the target audience, it might play a role in my feelings about the book.

This is one of those books that I came across while looking for an interesting cover in the library. The dating game is a very vivid and realistic example of the average teenager’s life. When 3 girls decide to take their dating lives into their own hands, things take a turn for the worst. This book has everything you could ask for in a fiction/young-adult book. It has drama, tears, betrayal, happiness, and pain. I, personally, can relate to this book because of the fact that it is very accurate. The average teenager will feel at home with this book, and will find enjoyment in reading about the daily adventures of Holly, Maddie and Lina.

The Last out of the three, wants more experience in life because everyone think she's just a kid.

This was unreadable. The author is trying far too hard to mimic what high schoolers "really think", maybe in an effort to grab people who graduated high school more than five years ago. I fall into that category, and I was lucky in that my high school was on the cusp of technology, but we definitely were not so vapid.

i think i accidentally read the fifth book of this series. but it doesn't really matter: it was bad. sometimes trashy teen books are ok, but the writing and plot and characters... just *everything* was mediocre, flat, and obnoxious all at the same time. also, getting pretty sick of all these rich straight white people.

I adored this entire series, it was so cute and good and I loved it. I could relate to the main characters and I thought the stories of their lives were so funny and interesting. I totally loved every book in this series. I have all of them and I'm willing to let you borrow them ;)

When three high school sophomores set up a weblog as a class project to research whether girls or boys are more sex-crazed--and to play matchmaker, their own messy love lives become even more complicated.

This book wasn't exactly my favorite, but it still kept me wanting to read till the end to see what happens. I give it 4 stars, because it didn't really captivate me or interest me that much.
I would recommend this book to girls who like gossip, chick-lit, teen-fiction kind of books!
