With Valentine's Day so close, many of us are planning dates with our mates or maybe you're out there looking to find that perfect someone to share it with.
For those out there on the dating scene, you have to be extra careful. I have seen lately, many businesses taking the extra step in making sure that you are safe during a date. They now have in place where you can order a specific drink to let the staff know if you feel like the date is not going well. It seems all well and good. But what happens if all is well and you leave, then things turn sour?
This is not to put a negative outlook on Valentine's Day at all. Simply a way to make your relationship more open by helping you communicate better with those you love and have a lasting healthy relationship!
Changing the way we think and do things, is a big key. The datesafeproject.org is an organization inspired to help teach an old habit, to be new again; respect for ourselves, respect for others and how to intervene when you think someone might be in a bad situation.
"Can I Kiss You" engrossed me from the minute I opened its pages. It was different in the aspect that it gave me an opportunity to put myself in the shoes of others with challenges I would normally never think to experience. I really enjoyed how things were broken down and easy to understand. The thought put into making this book readable, is outstanding. At the end of each chapter, it has a place for notes so that one can write down any highlights that stand out to them or points one wants to remember without having to search.
Communication is the number one most important factor when dating, or any type of relationship for that matter. In the book "Can I Kiss You" Michael Domitrz explains to us the different ways that we can communicate positively, the different types of communication, and how we can break the habit of misunderstanding by just verbally communicating how we feel or what we want.
Later in the book, it talks about the different levels of sexual assault. Whether you are dating or have been married for years, it occurs more often than you think. It helps for those to recognize the signs, so if by chance you witness it, you can take the proper action needed to help.
This is an excellent read and an educational aspect into redoing everything that we think is "normal" behavior and start communicating on a positive level.
Sexual assault is no joke, no matter how small you think it may be. If it makes you uncomfortable, don't stay quiet; take action.
Mike Domitrz is one of the leading experts for transforming our sexual culture to one being built on consent and respect. For over two decades, educators, military, families, colleges and individuals of all have sought out Mike and his impactful programs and speaking engagements.
Everyone; people of all ages, genders, sexual orientations and socioeconomic backgrounds, need to hear the challenging and life-changing message in his just released book, Can I Kiss You?
Can I Kiss You? is a fun, helpful journey revealing the faults of body language, the joys of talking, the serious impact of wrongful behaviors, how to EXPECT RESPECT from your partners throughout all facets of a relationship, how to help your family and friends, and much more! Best of all, you are going to gain realistic skills you will have fun using in your life and sharing with those you love (both children and adults).
This insightful book full of candid advice, real-life scenarios, and interactive exercises is revolutionizing each person’s approach to dating & building respect – all while helping address the reality of sexual assault in today’s culture, including how to intervene to help others.
While most people simply “make their move” on a date, Mike Domitrz reveals why asking first makes all the difference.

It sounds like a book that should be given out to kids starting in high school. We need learn what is appropriate and not appropriate on dates early. Dating can be fun, but you also have to me aware of each situation.
ReplyDeleteIt feels as though we've lost that sense of respect for ourselves, our body, and those around us. This sounds like a great book that talks about that lost value and how important it is to get that back.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a really great book that is definitely needed in our over-sexed culture. Promoting a sense of respect and boundaries is so important not only to youth, but everyone.
ReplyDeleteOh man after my divorce and dating I can name a couple of guys who could have used this for boundaries! Sounds like a great read!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great read! Looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteI remember the times when a guy would ask first if they can kiss you. Do ,men do that still these days? Sounds like a great book.
ReplyDeleteLuckily I'm in a loving, respectful relationship but not so long ago I wasn't and I was on the dating scene. I wish there were more gentlemen out there but it seems like a lot of the time you really have to be careful. Better to be safe than sorry
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great read. I need to try to find it and check it out soon. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a really good book to give as a gift for those in their mid-late teens. You forgot the third option for valentine's day - us old married couples where the wives will just binge watch netflix alone on the couch like she does every other night. ;)
ReplyDeleteI believe this is a great read for everyone. We need to learn our boundaries and exercise respect.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds pretty interesting. I am going to have to look more into it.
ReplyDeleteValentines day is so special for us every year and this sounds like a wonderful read to try out. I agree communication is the important factor in any relationship and I love how this book guides you on making it better!
ReplyDeleteI always tell others communication is the key to a successful relationship, if there is no communication more likely the relationship will not work. The book has a lot of key points. I feel hooked to the book and you just gave a counter summary of the book. Imagine if I was reading the book self...

Sounds like a book teenagers should read. But first the parent should read it before the child so we know what we are passing on!
