My mom gave this book to me I think when I was in middle school. I was hesitant to read it at first, and it sat in my room gathering dust for a year or two. But then I finally picked it up and read it. I do not regret it. This book has some great points regarding dating, and I think it is definetely worth your time. I'm glad my mom gave it to me! I didn't agree with everything the author said, but overall, it really encouraged me to set boundaries.
how refreshing! it is great to hear a young man say out loud what many of us are thinking. the modern dating habits that have even invaded the church are so destructive. i really appreciated the author's disclaimer that this was not a "how to" book but rather his story about how he came to some conclusions about the matter. rather than asking us to do what he does he is simply asking us to re-examine why we do what we do! the follow up Boy Meets Girl about how he met his wife and their courtship is a must read also!
Currently 0/5 Stars.

He is not telling you not to have fun, have friends and live single all your life! He is simply sharing how to heartbreak-proof your life through focusing on a bible prespective of courting.
I wish I had read this book as a teen. I read it as a Youth Leader to help my group avoid the drama of dating, relationships, temptation and brokenhearts that I dealt with.
This is a must read for everyone who thinks dating is the way to get to know a prospective mate. When I first read the book I disagreed with everything he said. Time and wisdom has taught me otherwise.
As young as he is, Harris offers good solid arguements for why dating is not a good way to get to know the opposite sex. He offers sensible, workable alternatives to truely to develop healthy relationships without the phony games, false impressions and dangerous temptations that come with dating.
Even though I've read the book, I got it again for my teenage son to read.
