Real Me Better We by Dr. Jordan Alexander is a comprehensive dating guide to “Finding Authentic Love Online.” Dr. Alexander begins with an introduction and an overview of what readers can expect, including a pep talk of affirmations, an overview of the ascendency of match sites and apps, and how they overhauled the dating landscape, as well as the steps to Dr. Alexander's Heartsmart Way. The book is then broken down into three parts. Part one helps the reader put all their ducks in a row to ensure readiness, decoding of style, and pro tips for swatting away intrusive outside elements that can hinder and harm. Part two centers on assessment, determining exactly what you want and not bending for deal-breakers. Part three is the action stage, followed by refreshers and developmental exercises to stay on track.

Dr. Jordan Alexander does a fantastic job twisting the self-help online dating genre into something practical and pretty darn easy to implement in Real Me Better We. Reading it on the heels of worldwide lockdown only made the message more potent, particularly on the topic of virtual dating, which Dr. Alexander effectively guides readers through. I liked the worksheets interspersed throughout the book: Table Talk Topics was a particular standout. Writing down what we love about ourselves, while often challenging, somehow feels less daunting when friends are involved in answering the same about you. I also found the exercise on visualizing your partner to be a meditative experience, and intentional manifesting was incredible. It's a different world out there, but there's no need to worry: Dr. Alexander knows exactly what you need. Very highly recommended.

This year, if you read just one relationship book, make it Real Me Better We by Dr. Jordan Alexander.

Love takes two. It starts with you. It sounds good in theory and practice, but only if everyone else is playing by those same rules. Real Me Better We will remind you that online dating sites claim it’s okay to look because you’re not the only one looking. Unfortunately, looking for real love online is not for the cynical and faint of heart. But the good news is that you don’t need to kiss many frogs to find the right person, and Dr. Jordan Alexander is here to help in her book Real Me Better We: A Guide to Finding Authentic Love Online. Founder of Love Assist Associates, Dr. Jordan combines her thirty years of experience as a business consultant with evidence-based research and case studies from coaching clients and singles to improve or find healthy relationships. Her ten simple steps provide the training to use what is within your control to ensure relationship success. There is no masking your true self.

The HeartSmart Way highlighted in this book sets the bar for realistic expectations about finding love online. While we have all been confined in the comforts of our home, online connections have become an ever-increasing part of our personal needs. With that in mind, Dr. Jordan Alexander writes in a friendly and professional tone like a therapist you can trust. She ensures that you consider what is essential by identifying what you want and what you need to find 'the one.' They say that an ideal man or woman doesn’t exist, and this certainly rings true, given that we are all fallible creatures. Real Me Better We can help you to identify the obstacles in finding a love connection. It doesn’t guarantee that you will find the ideal one, but it can help you discover a more honest, open, and better version of yourself. This, in turn, will help set the stage for you to find a meaningful relationship online.

Theorizing that most fail at love because relationship education is not compulsory, Dr. Jordan Alexander intends to change this through her book Real Me Better We. The author herself had experienced a fair amount of failed romances, including a learner driver dating disaster, before settling down in a happy marriage. Jordan explains how she managed to go from single to success in ten simple steps in her own words. By reading this book, you will unlock the attitude and mindset to welcome love into your life, discover how your past patterns and blind spots are holding you back, reveal relationship essentials to get yourself relationship-ready, clarify what you define as a successful relationship, grow your confidence as a dater and effective user of digital tools, and more.

Right off the bat, Real Me Better We starts with a quiz to assess its reader's readiness for a relationship. I love how Dr. Jordan Alexander saw this as a necessity as not everyone is on the same page. It makes the book incredibly personalized. Having also struggled with doubts and insecurities, I found it refreshing to see Dr. Jordan dispel some of those doubts and help me reconstruct my beliefs about relationships. By including case studies, the love and relationship belief models, and other visual learning tools in the book, Dr. Jordan makes the information easy to remember and understand. The quizzes and exercises within the book helped me engage and reflect on my behaviors and beliefs about relationships. If I could take away only one thing from this book, it would be the quote: 'Intentional dating is meeting people with a purpose and a plan.'
