Dating & Waiting with God

By Wendy Douglas

Dating is not failure, rejection, or wasted time. Dating is data.

In Dating and Waiting, readers learn how to approach modern relationships with greater clarity, patience, and purpose. Every date, conversation, attraction, disappointment, and unanswered question offers valuable information-about the other person, the relationship, and yourself.

Instead of rushing toward commitment or remaining stuck in uncertainty, this practical and encouraging guide shows readers how to recognize patterns, evaluate compatibility, establish healthy boundaries, and make wiser relationship decisions. Waiting is reframed not as passive inactivity, but as an intentional season for observing, learning, healing, and preparing.

Dating and Waiting will help readers:

- Treat dating as a process of discovery rather than a test of personal worth
- Separate chemistry from genuine compatibility
- Recognize patterns, warning signs, and relationship potential
- Clarify their values, standards, needs, and boundaries
- Resist pressure to force the wrong relationship
- Learn from rejection and disappointment without losing hope
- Wait with purpose while remaining open to love

At the heart of the book is a liberating principle: Dating is data. Each experience gives you information that can help you understand what works, what does not, and what kind of relationship is truly right for you.

Honest, insightful, and empowering, Dating and Waiting is for anyone who wants to date more intentionally, protect their peace, and build a healthy, lasting relationship.
