In this blog post, Rickard continues to review dating products—this time offering thoughts on a now-unavailable guide once marketed under the title “The Dos and Don’ts of Dating.”
Although the product itself is no longer online, this post remains helpful in reflecting on its claims and sharing general insights for Christian singles. This The Dos and Don’ts of Dating Review highlights both the positives and negatives, helping readers develop discernment when exploring online dating resources.
Initial Impressions of the Product Page
When first visiting the product site, the presentation felt cluttered and text-heavy. The author, “Sophia F..,” used only a first name. While this might be for privacy, it raised some concerns about credibility.
The content began with common dating mistakes, followed by a sales pitch for her main guide, Dating Digest. It followed a familiar formula: highlight the problem, then offer the solution as a paid resource.
Pros (+):
- The book identified common pitfalls that people often face in online dating.
- It avoided sleazy marketing and emphasized respectful dating.
- At $17, the price was lower than many similar guides, which often cost $30 or more.
Cons (–):
- The guide was generic and did not address the unique challenges faced by Christian singles.
- There was no objective evidence that the product worked—no testimonials, thank-you messages, or proof of success.
- It lacked free educational content, such as mini-courses or newsletters.
Bonus Warning: The Video
At one time, a promotional video was linked to the product. While we don’t endorse its tone or message, we believe viewers should decide for themselves. We’ve removed the video since the original product is now offline.
Summary of The Dos and Don’ts of Dating Review
This review shows that not all dating guides are created equal. The Dos and Don’ts of Dating offered fundamental value and a friendly tone but lacked Christian-specific advice and proof of results.
If you’re looking for a faith-based approach to dating, this guide might have fallen short. However, it still sparked good discussion on what to watch for when reviewing online dating materials.
Here are my best tips to start your Christian, faith-based journey.
