Hey all,
I’m looking for a practical book to help me as a man navigate dating.
I recently went on my first real Hinge date. Things were going great got to date 2, kissed, planned date 3… and then she ghosted. That sucked (I cant believe people do it lol), but it made me reflect.
After some Googling and YouTube rabbit holes, I realized I might be doing a few things wrong mostly by being a bit too much too soon. I can be intense and while I don’t want to change who I am, I do want to learn how to better pace myself, communicate more effectively, and understand the social dynamics of modern dating.
What I’m looking for is a book (or books) that give me:
- A clear guide to how men should conduct themselves when dating
- What to say, what not to say
- How and when to text
- When/how to arrange dates
- How to stop overthinking or oversharing too early
- How to understand attraction without playing games
Basically, a down-to-earth, honest manual on how to date in 2024/25 without coming off as needy, cold, or fake.

Scripts are not a thing, but I recommend “Man’s Guide to Women” by John Gottman and “Models” by Mark Manson
