The goal is to not just carelessly jump off the cliff into the dating ocean, but to walk confidently into it with a prepared spirit and honest eyes wide open.
The dating scene may start out as fun, fresh, and flirty but so often can quickly turn into a nightmare where we get frustrated and find it no longer a fun field to play around on.
Dating Me Book is a big ole love letter about self-love before dating others to those wanting some candid, honest, simple to read and understand, teachings and inspiration through my knowledge, experience, wisdom, and God given insight. Simply put, I genuinely just wanted to help some folks and I had my girl tribe in mind when writing it.
Let "Dating Me" make your dating journey a pleasant one!
This book stemmed from a season that I found myself dating lots of men, however that title is a play on words because it’s really about evolving to focus on dating myself. I had evolved to the place of understanding that it was vital that I date and love myself because I was failing so miserably on the dating scene. I was truly shaking my head at my own poor choices in the love and relationships area. But it was a divine set up because God used all that misery and heartache to reveal “Kim, you’re doing it all wrong! You have to fall in love with the process of getting yourself together (happy, healthy, whole) and know that dating another is secondary to dating me”. So, I had to let go of my old ways of thinking and the way I was approaching dating and focus on Dating Me! This has deepened my faith in God’s need for us to not just pray but take some very practical steps to help ourselves along in situations. Led by Him, we must use wisdom and knowledge to make moves in life, and that goes for dating too.
This book is dearly dedicated to single women because I was a single woman for over a decade of my adult life … all while also being a Single Mom. So I have an affection for single women and the challenges they face, particularly in finding love & enjoying beautiful healthy relationships. Many of my single coaching clients come to me struggling in the love & relationships area and I get it because that was once me too. HOWEVER, I believe that now when I read this book as a married woman, it’s a wonderful recharge reminder for married women or women in committed relationships to not lose your self-love, self-care, and self-awareness just because you have a partner now because these things only help strengthen the relationship you’re in. And then finally I have to say that my husband told me this book is very appropriate & applicable for a man’s mindset and things they experience as well, so it's refreshing and insightful to gain that perspective straight from a man’s mouth!

PAUSE AND ASK YOURSELF:
HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT HAVE I PUT INTO PREPARING FOR DATING?
HOW IN-TUNE AM I WITH WHAT I REALLY WANT IN A DATE?
HOW EMOTIONALLY MATURE AND RESILIENT AM I FOR DATING?
HAVE I BEEN REPEATING THE SAME UNPRODUCTIVE CYCLE IN DATING?
