Dateable: Are You? Are They? Authors: Justin Lookadoo and Hayley DiMarco

Dateable: Are You? Are They? by Justin Lookadoo and Hayley DiMarco is a candid and often provocative guide to modern dating, written especially for teens and young adults. With a mix of humor, tough love, and biblical principles, the authors challenge readers to examine their values, behaviors, and expectations when it comes to relationships.

The book explores what it means to be truly “dateable”—not just in terms of appearance or popularity, but in character, confidence, and integrity. It encourages readers to stop playing games, ditch superficial standards, and start building relationships based on honesty, respect, and purpose. Each chapter tackles real-life issues like peer pressure, emotional boundaries, self-image, and the difference between love and infatuation.

With its edgy tone and direct approach, Dateable has sparked both praise and controversy for its unapologetic stance on dating and gender roles. Whether you agree with every point or not, it’s a conversation starter that invites readers to think critically about how they approach love and relationships.
