I wrote the book in less than three months. I didn’t just want to lay out step-by-step plans and information to be memorized, I wanted to move the reader, since after all, the whole point of the book is that dating and romance is about just that: allowing yourself to be moved, both emotionally and physically. I wanted the beauty and joy of the dating experience to come across in the writing itself. Perhaps I was up my own ass with self-importance, but I wanted to give it a bit more of a literary flair. But I also wanted the style of the book to be different. I already knew the core ideas of this book were going to be different – deeper, more personal, more emotional. I had read pretty much every other dating advice book on the market and thought most of them were garbage. I also decided early on that I wanted to make the book different stylistically. I was touring Europe, giving talks and coaching live at the time, and I would often finish up a session with a client or do a Q&A with a small audience and immediately run to my hotel room to jot some of the ideas that had spewed out of my mouth into the now ballooning book. The book spilled out of me in a somewhat involuntary manner, a kind of intellectual vomit. “What book do I wish I would have read when I was single and struggling in my dating life? If I had only read one book, what do I wish it had told me?”Īs the weeks went by, it turned out that I wished it had told me a lot. And for a few days, I was paralyzed with all of the potential.īut I soon decided to limit myself to one specific aim. There were so many considerations, so many ideas, so many goals and ambitions.
In April 2011, in a cramped and horribly overpriced hotel room in London, I began the outline for a dating advice book.įor anyone who has tried to write a book, they know that starting it is the most daunting part.
