Synopsis

Society is changing, which means it's time for dating to evolve. Millennial and Gen Z women are more than capable of seeking out what—and who—they want. They're standouts in the classroom and champions on the playing fields. They're leaders in the workplace and trailblazers in city halls, state houses, and Congress. So why would we tell a generation of badass women that they're not allowed to be bold when it comes to finding love? Why should they have to sit back and wait (and wait and wait) for men to find them?

In Make Your Move: The New Science of Dating and Why Women Are in Charge, Jon Birger, author of Date-onomics, offers women bold new strategies for finding the one. Backed by research showing that women can win at romance by making the first move with the men of their choice, Birger explains why: it's better to choose than to be chosen; the "play hard to get" method is not only outdated but grounded in bad science; the first move does not have to be a big move; it's time to log off of dating apps and date men you actually know; the workplace can be a terrific place to meet a long-term romantic partner . . . and more!

Make Your Move is an honest, solution-based guide to finding love that lasts. If you're tired of playing by old rules, look no further: Make your move and win.

Goodreads review by Taylor on November 19, 2021

After I finished this book, I was in a sobbing heap because it's just about the most depressing book I've ever read about dating. Luckily, after a night's sleep, I have a clearer head (both about the book and about dating). For context, I'm a thirtysomething woman who lives in a rural area. Online dat......more

The New Science of Dating and Why Women Are in Charge In the words of the great villain Bane, I ask: Do you feel in charge? Really ladies, do you?

Goodreads review by Ashton on April 10, 2021

This book was hard for me to pick because I am a 35 year old single woman who has no damn clue what she's doing when it comes to dating. I thought this was a well-researched, well documented and well written book. I find it refreshing that his viewpoint has changed so much from his previous book. Th......more

Goodreads review by Danielle on January 24, 2021

I love Jon’s way of fusing real life stories of couples he knows and academic research to prove why women should make the first move in relationships. I always have known that it’s silly to wait around for a guy, but Jon has a way of encouraging the reader to actually go for it, and he provides real......more
