New Self-Help Book Offers a Science-Based Guide to Choosing Healthier Romantic Partners
Navigating modern dating can be confusing, discouraging, and emotionally exhausting. In Rate Your Date: A Primer for Selecting Healthy Partners, psychologist and behavioral science expert Douglas H. Ruben, PhD, delivers a practical, research-driven guide designed to help readers make better relationship choices and avoid patterns that lead to disappointment.
Drawing on decades of professional experience, Rate Your Date equips readers with clear tools for evaluating potential partners, understanding attraction dynamics, and recognizing behaviors that strengthen or undermine romantic connections.

Readers learn how to identify compatible partners, understand what encourages mutual interest, and avoid common dating mistakes that derail promising connections.

Designed for singles seeking meaningful connections, couples struggling with repeated relationship challenges, and individuals who want to break cycles of unhealthy partnerships, Rate Your Date serves as a dependable roadmap for building lasting romantic bonds.
