We Could’ve Had A Great Date if it Weren’t For You

WE COULD’VE HAD A GREAT DATE IF IT WEREN’T FOR YOU:
-A guide to authentic dating 

Dr. Bruce Derman, Author
WE COULD’VE HAD A GREAT DATE IF IT WEREN’T FOR YOU goes beyond other books for singles whose main purpose is to find THE ONE. By changing old, narrow perspectives and attitudes toward dating, a new way is revealed that will replace frustration and discouragement with the dating process to one of acceptance, accountability, respect, and fulfillment.



$19.50 (incl. tax)
 


In this book you’ll discover which of the fifteen Dating Plans best fits who you are. You’ll learn who to play with. You’ll find new satisfaction in dating that supports and reflects your personal and emotional integrity. You’ll eliminate unpleasant dating surprises by finding out in advance what to expect with each plan.

As you learn this new way of viewing dating and relationships, you will discover:

  • There are no wrong people
  • There are no bad dates
  • There are no unsuccessful relationships
  • There are no unavailable people

So here is a chance to leave the limitations of “one size fits all” dating attitudes behind, and begin to enjoy authentic dating for possibly the first time.

The Hole

THE HOLE is a fable that dares to go where no fable has gone before….

Into the depths of our emptiness and nothingness where we fear that life is meaningless.
It is clearly a place that is largely unknown to many of us and thus exposes us to our
greatest fears, especially during times of great loss. Yet without a willingness to go
through this door, we are destined to live in constant turmoil as we ride on an endless
emotional roller coaster. Dirk and Dawn, to all appearances a perfect couple, certainly
never wanted to go there. However, when confronted with an empty, bottomless hole
in their home, they had no choice but to face all the dilemmas it presented them. You will
be amused at all of the solutions that they attempt to use to fill the hole, many of which
you will identify as choices you have made in your own life. With the help of a wise little
man, who understands the nature of empty holes, you will experience their ongoing
struggles in a continuously challenging dialogue with him that will appear at times humorous
and transforming. If you can move through this journey with them and come to totally
accept your own emptiness, you will discover a love, passion, and power that will serve
as a guide for the rest of your life.

We’d Have a Great Relationship if it Weren’t for You.

WE’D HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP IF IT WEREN’T FOR YOU: Regaining Love and Intimacy Through Mutuality  Dr. Bruce Derman, Author How often have you wanted to say: We’d have a great relationship if it weren’t for you with no hedging or justifications? For those who think that is being negative, the problem is not in the statement but in all the exhausting, disguised, and devious gyrations we go through to attempt to prove it rather than just be open about this thought. $14.00 (incl. tax)  

This book provides you with the support to drop all pretenses with your partners in a loving, respectful, yet fresh and passionate way. It offers you a new way to look at yourself and your partner so that you can move beyond the places where you are stuck.  Is Your Relationship Stuck in the Difference Game? All intimate relationships that are painful, chaotic, or stuck have one thing in common: the partners involved focus on their differences to prove that “one of us is better than the other.” To protect themselves from the fear and vulnerability of greater intimacy, they sacrifice their love, passion, and closeness.
