Dr. Sherman says, “Facebook Dating’s mission dovetails with mine, to help singles date mindfully, with consideration. Singles can then attract their best match joyfully, peacefully and authentically, creating a heart-centered relationship. Facebook Dating enables singles to mine for meaningful matches based on common points of interest, shared groups, events and mutual friends. It’s an intentional community that moves daters beyond swiping for hookups to forging sustainable relationships, encouraging meaningful conduct in an already safe space to connect with family and friends on a daily basis across the lifespan. Facebook will use its extensive personal data to create meaningful matches. They’ve put tools in place to help users eliminate common annoyances. They have a pause button to avoid dating burnout, conversation starters, ways to avoid harassment and online strategies to deal with an ex. Singles can date mutual friends and singles at shared events and groups of interest. “

This book helps singles navigate dating stages & issues, while learning about themselves. Paulette teaches that once singles are calm, positive, present, self-reflective and non-judgmental the ups and downs of dating won’t deter them. They become aware of underlying factors that influence their choices and observe their feelings to see if they want to shift them. They reflect on their self-esteem, boundaries, honesty, relationship patterns and standards. Mindfulness makes dating painless, because all suffering comes from attachment to an outcome. When you accept the present moment you enjoy planned and unplanned outcomes. Sherman created over 20 mindfulness practices around dating issues like anxiety, trust, rejection, breakups, fear of judgment, jealousy, dating multiple people, self-love, a fear of commitment, the need to please, dealing with bad dates, knowing when to get physical, when to become exclusive, when to move-in, get engaged and more. This practice helps singles use consideration over impulse & Facebook Dating puts singles together to jump start this adventure.
