The title of this book is misleading. It's not so much about going out and finding someone to date as it is about choosing the right person to be with and maintaining a relationship that you're committed to. It should be required reading for all single people who are actively dating.
Atwood's main ideas are pretty basic and include things like: knowing yourself, choosing someone who has the same basic values as you do, communicating honestly and openly with your partner, and not staying in relationships that aren't right for you. But her central message is that a healthy relationship requires: 1) knowing yourself and your own goals first, 2) an appropriate commitment by both parties and 3) putting effort into working at the relationship.
None of these ideas are revelations, but Atwood includes a lot of good advice written in a very straightforward way.

If you are single man or woman and are in the dating jungle, this is a terrific resource. It's very sane and extremely helpful about all phases of a relationship - from how to meet people to how to identify whether or not you are in a good/healthy relationship and what to do about it...

I read it. I'm still single. Go figure.
