A funny and practical guide to help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.Have you ever looked around and wondered, "Why has everyone found love except me?" You're not the only one. Great relationships don't just appear in our lives--they're the culmination of a series of decisions, including when to get out there, whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, when to commit to the right one, and everything in between. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love. Drawing from years studying psychology and relationships, behavioral scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury reveals the hidden forces that cause those mistakes. But awareness on its own doesn't lead to results. Knowing you shouldn't date "bad boys" or "manic pixie dream girls," for example, doesn't make them any less appealing--you have to actually change your behavior. Ury shows you how. This book focuses on a different decision in each chapter incorporating insights from behavioral science, original research, and stories about people just like you. You'll learn: -What's holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern) -What really matters in a long-term partner (and what really doesn't) -How to overcome the perils of online dating (and make the apps work for you) -How to meet more people in real life (while doing activities you love) -How to make dates fun again (so they stop feeling like job interviews) -Why you should go on that second date (trust me on this one) -How to know whether to stay or go (and how to end things with compassion) -Why "the spark" is a myth (but you'll find love anyway) And so much more. This data-driven, step-by-step guide to relationships, along with hands-on exercises, is designed to transform your life. How to Not Die Alone will help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.
