What Is He Thinking?

Rebecca St. James has long been known for her advocacy of purity before marriage and is a great role model for single ladies who are looking for the "right" guy. This is an easy read book filled with questions and answers to the question of, "What does a look for in a girl he dates? What Is He Thinking?"  The recently married Rebecca uses examples and questions she had from her own dating experiences along with questions from friends, Facebook fans, & Twitter followers to gain insight into what a man looks for in a woman he is interested in dating.

A variety of men Rebecca knows gave their candid answers to the questions she asked on a variety of topics. What attracts them to a woman? What are major turn-offs? How do you focus on your own purity? What limits do put put on physical, emotional, and spiritual intimacy? A chapter of advice from men who are already married tells what they did right, or what they would suggest to others. In conclusion, the guys are given an open floor to say any final thoughts.

Although tailored more for 20-35 year old women, there are words of wisdom contained that are suitable for all single women. Teens who are just dating and lack the maturity to make wise choices (I know you think you're grown up, but  "been there, done that") and those more mature in age can find advice that can be put to good use. Even those who are not dating can get a lot out of this book to use if daughters, granddaughters, nieces, friends....come to you for an opinion on dating. Actually, I can think of a few men who could learn a few things from the guys in this book! ;)

What is HE thinking? Hmmm! In my experience (admittedly limited), that depends on whether there has been intamacy initiated. God designed touch and arousal for one purpose only. It was intended to be within the boundaries of marriage, but that limitation was done away with a long time ago in the interest of "liberation."

No matter how much interest I ever had in a young lady as a person, once touching began, the focus of my interest switched to the physical. I think that's pretty normal. I wasn't nearly so much driven by thought at that point, but rather sensation and instinct.

How's that for too much honesty? I always told my children to determine for themselves the point in escalating intamacy at which they stopped using their heads. Then they should make it an ironclad rule to stop short about two levels of interaction before that point.

That caution is strongly advised for both sexes, but especially for young men. At a certain level of intamacy, what he is thinking will become irrelevant compared to what he desires.

If that descent is not the goal, don't play around seeing how close to the precipice you can both get. When one falls, the other is usually drug over with them.
