How's the dating life working for you? Do you recognize the "red lights" which tell you when you should stop pursuing a relationship? Can you identify the "green lights" which say things are moving in a good direction? Can you wisely navigate the "yellow light" issues which every healthy relationship inevitably encounters? Are you tired of reading complicated or tedious "relationship" books? Would you enjoy reading a book which gives you the common sense basics, the fundamentals which are necessary for successful dating?
