A Guide to the Dating Project

We live in a culture of single people who act like they're dating, dating couples who behave like they're married, and married people who live like they're single. And we somehow manage to do all of this without asking anyone out on a date! If this is baffling to you and you think ifs time for abetter way. then this Guide is for you. It is perfectly designed to work alone or with the award- winning documentary film from Pure Flix, The Dating Project. The film follows five singles (twenty-somethings to forty-somethings) in their quest to find love. Kerry Cronin, professor at Boston College, serves as the film's guide. Cronin has gained fame on her campus for assigning students an unconventional extra-credit assignment: Ask someone out on a date. Her approach is simple. The challenge is doing it. Therefore, we've assembled a team of experts headed by Jason and Crystalina Evert to create this study guide to help you implement Cronin's "dating assignment" in a way that can hopefully lead you to a lifetime of love. This Guide includes thought-provoking, conversation-starting discussion questions, as well as the very popular "dating assignment" featured in the film. It also includes relevant articles pertaining to dating by experts such as Jackie and Bobby Angel, Kevin Cotter, Jacinta Florence, Paul J. Kim, Fr. Mike Schmitz, Arleen Spenceley, Beth Sri, and Andrew Swafford. A Guide to the Dating Project is for teens, college students, young adults, and anyone interested in seeing the return of a healthy dating culture. Book jacket.
