Books Dateable Are You? Are They?  by Hayley DiMarco

Dateable: Are You? Are They? by Hayley DiMarco (with co-author Justin Lookadoo) is a straightforward guide aimed at teenagers about understanding dating and relationships. The book emphasizes how teens can learn to be "dateable" themselves while critically evaluating the dateability of others. It encourages teens to protect their hearts emotionally, physically, and spiritually by not investing too deeply in fleeting teen relationships, which the authors argue seldom last.

Key points of the book include:

Helping teens focus their passion toward greater life purposes rather than becoming overly fixated on romantic relationships.

Teaching practical criteria for evaluating potential dating partners ("dateability").

Offering blunt, honest advice about sex, communication, fashion, faith, and even pop culture ("chick flicks").

Using quizzes, callouts, and discussion points to engage teens interactively.

Encouraging teens to enjoy relationships with excitement but without compromising their long-term emotional well-being.
