An excellent book for those dating or thinking about dating. Good practical information on what is important to know about a person you are dating or considering dating and how to conduct yourself so that your relationships can be as satisfying and safe as possible. I found the information to be so important that I purchased copies for my high school and college-aged grandchildren.

[Update: As another reviewer has noted, "How to Avoid Marrying a Jerk" and "How to Avoid Falling in Love with a Jerk" are the same books with different titles.] Given that a choice of a marriage partner is one of the most important influences on a person's quality of life, you would think that people would want to know all there is to know about making that choice.
