Three books for love seekers
If you’re a female seeking a man to love and think you may be doing something that prevents you from meeting the right sort of partner and entering into relationships that are meaningful and long-lasting, here are three books you should consider reading.
Not Tonight Mr. Right by Kate Taylor
The purpose of this book is to convince the female reader that she doesn’t have to have sex early in a relationship in order to secure it. In fact, the book suggests that not having sex so soon is a good way to ensure that the relationship that develops is based on something other than sexual compatibility (which is important but not the only thing necessary to have a good relationship). According to the book, it’s possible to wait until marriage before having sex (although the book does not make a statement that one should wait that long if they are not inclined to do so). If you’re curious whether it’s possible to have a fulfilling relationship and not introduce sex into the equation so early, this book’s answer is a resounding “Yes!”.
Ever wondered Why Mr. Right Can’t Find You? Maybe you’re not looking in the right places…literally! This book, written from a male perspective (J.M. Kearns) suggests places where women can meet Mr. Right, and also takes the reader carefully through the world of online dating. If you’re ready to put aside your preconceived notions about where people can meet (and yes, bars and the gym are viable locations) and ready to step outside your comfort zone then you will learn a lot from this book.
Finally, we have Why Men Love Bitches, a book where the author (Sherry Argov) uses the term “bitch” in a tongue-in-cheek manner. The word “bitch” is believed by some to be an acronym for “Babe in total control of herself” and along those lines this book’s goal is to take the reader from doormat (bad) to dream girl. This book is adamant that the girl who is too nice, who puts aside her preferences and wishes to please a man will soon end up with a boyfriend who will be chomping at the bit to leave (and who will eventually leave). Contrary to what most women have been told all their lives, bending over backwards (and sideways and forwards) is not the way to sustain a good relationship and get a man to love you forever. This empowering book preaches that if you put yourself first without being selfish (it’s possible!) you can attract men who will want to be with you and who will love you for those very qualities that women are told to suppress.

Although I am a man I liked the book why men like bitches. It was humorous and also deeply insightful also.
