I just finished reading Real Men Dont Text this morning, and it could not have come at a better time. As a college student who has never had a boyfriend, its been hard for me to justify having such high standards for relationships when Im not currently seeing any positive outcomes. Its also been so easy to naively fall into the text-based flirting and attempts at relationships while analyzing and poring over each Hey, whats up? late-night text from a guy. Real Men Dont Text was incredibly encouraging and reminded me that Im not alone, that its okay to have high standards, and that the idea that God does have a better love story written for me isnt as outdated and ridiculous as the rest of the world makes it seem.

That being said, Real Men Dont Text offers the kind of advice that I want to share with my friends, sorority sisters, and family. Its the kind of advice thats refreshing and doable, especially in a world where dating intentions seem vague and confusing. I finished Real Men Dont Text feeling encouraged and hopeful, equipped with real ways to navigate dating in my twenties.
