Summary: Dating is not ungodly
Review: ok, let me start by saying that I am a christian teen, I love God more than anything and I am a servant of him. But, I do not for one second think that dating is bad. You say that by being in a relationship it takes time away from God, well if that is true then you must outlaw friendships as well, anything can take away from God, but that is why we must learn self control, in order to stay focused on him. I do not believe that dating is bad, but sometimes its intentions are. God works through people all the time and sometimes people have pain that they can not bear alone and a GF/BF is just what they need to make it through,,,,this does not mean that they are excluding God, what is means is that God is working through a person to help someone....so get it straight, and stop acting like everything in the world is evil and sinful.....thank you

Summary: Where was this book a couple of years ago, an absolute must!
Review: Hi! I found this book to be uncanningly truthful and delightfully entertaining.. I am shocked at those who accuse this piece of work of being a "shove it down your throat" style of literature. It is in fact very sensitive to the subject and straight to the point. Principled romance is the key to a fruitful mariage. Dating blurrs GOD'S best for you and brings distractions instead of blessings. We have tried it the other way for years and now seventy percent of all marriages end in divorce within five years.. Maybe it's time we move back to the front porch and get some standards and purity in our relationships.. Let's kiss dating goodbye and put JESUS at the head of that department.. HE knows what HE is doing....

Summary: I loved this Book!
Review: I am 19 years old and really haven't dated. I've always known that I want to fall in love with the person I am going to marry, than think about moving into a serious relationship with that person. Blind dates and hookups with friends are just not my style. This book confirmed my beliefs and gave me lots of awesome advice and new ideas. I'm not sure I'm going to wait until my wedding day to receive my first kiss with my husband, but the book really lays out a great way to look at relationships. I reccommend this book for every teenager, expecially those who have been hurt from previous relationships.

Summary: A good starting point
Review: I am saddened that previous reviewers felt they had to resort to using foul language to express their viewpoints. I appreciate Josh's communication of his thoughts and opinions. Howoever, I believe that God is able to use any method. Look at how Isaac found Rebekah (see Genesis 24)! I do not think that exclusive dating is wrong; however, I feel young people such as myself should be careful to know our motives for doing so. We must allow God to use anything He desires to draw us closer to Himself. God desires intimacy with us and He asks us to trust Him. In some cases, dating might be a way in which we can demonstrate complete trust in His plan for our lives.

Summary: Not a Dumb Idea
Review: I'm 14 years old and was in a relationship with a guy for one and a half years. He treated me great, we always got along perfect, and neither of us pressured the other to do anything. He was, and still is, a devoted Christian, just like me. One week during the summer he told me that he needed to end the relationship so he could focus on God instead of a relationship. I was totally heartbroken, but I understood and respected him for his choice. I had seen "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" before, but only laughed at the title. Now I needed what the book had to say. I bought it, began reading it immeadiatly. Everything in that book made so much sense to me. I realize now that I'm not ready for a relationship until I'm ready to get married. The book opened my eyes and I now see what I've been missing. I know in the future I will refer back to that book when I'm looking for a mate. It's one of the most helpful books I've ever read.

Summary: This Book is Awesome!
Review: This book should be read by anyone of any age who is contemplating dating. I am 37 years old, and not only do I wish it had been around 25 years ago, but that I would have been smart enough at the time to read it and heed it's advice. Josh isn't tell anyone to just sit around and wait for God to hand deliver the perfect mate. He's telling us to put God first, to do His will and follow the plan He has for us. If we do that, everything will happen according to His plan, including finding the right mate at the right time. And yes, you can find someone just as he suggests. There are many Christian singles activities and even volunteer jobs in churches and communities that offer many opportunities for interaction. My 12 year old daughter is reading this and has already made her own no dating policy. I have recommended this book to everyone I know who has an adolescent and also to adult friends who have failed in yet another relationship. Through Josh, God gave us something we so desperately need now. We've got our priorities backward; first we get physical, then we get emotional and maybe spiritual. By the time the physical attraction wears off, we usually discover that we don't have much in common and we don't have the same values. We've given a priceless part of ourselves to someone we won't spend the rest of our lives with and we can't take that back. God's way keeps that from happening, and this book outlines God's way. Thank you, Josh. Not only have you changed my perspective, but also, I am sure, the futures of my three daughters.
