About this ebook
Boy meets Girl; Boy wonders what in the world Girl is talking about and how he will ever keep up. Girl wonders what is wrong with Boy. Enter, Waffles and Spaghetti—every teen's guide to figuring out the opposite sex and understanding and valuing our unique differences.
In a pivotal time of their development and social lives, teens are left to try and understand one another without much guidance. The purpose of this book is to help better understand themselves as well those from the "alien gender".
Guys' brains are like waffles—they keep their lives compartmentalized in boxes. Girls' brains are like spaghetti—everything in their life is connected to everything else. This book for teens includes brain development, social habits, differences in emotions, and relationship building skills for teens to develop early in their life. Loaded with humor and fun examples, this is a great way for teens to learn about healthy relationships with the opposite sex.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I have to admit that the title of this book didn't appeal to me and had me wondering if it the content would be as bad as I perceived the title to be. However, I was pleasantly surprised! I am a Christian minister and as such have been involved in a lot of relationship counseling (pre-marital and marital), directing a marriage ministry complete with biannual retreat as well as having a read a number of books on relationships, marital and otherwise. I have to say that this is one of the better books that I have read on the subject. It is entertainingly well-written, wisely insightful and practically applicable. And while, as I said, I read it in spite of the title, the analogy to waffles and spaghetti is actually quite clever, well-employed and helps to make the points memorable.Two things worth noting about this book:1) While it is apparent that the authors are Christian and that obviously influences the content, it is not overtly religious and as such I don't think that even non-religious folks would be put off by the very occasional reference to their Christian worldview.2) This book is stated to be written for teens, and some of the style of the writing is definitely geared towards the younger set, but I find the content is good for any age group as the principles are universal and ageless.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Chad Eastham opens this Christian-teen guide to the opposite sex with a pair of metaphors that Bill and Pam Farrel made famous in their adult relationship seminars: Guys are Waffles (they compartmentalize the various aspects of their lives into separate boxes and deal with one aspect at a time), Girls are Spaghetti (they weave all aspects of their lives together and are excellent multitaskers).It’s a guide for early- to mid-teenagers, presented in a fun, friendly voice with content that’s immediately applicable to that age group while also laying groundwork for the later-teen years: opposite-sex friendships, communication (including body language), conflict resolution, dating and sex. The approach is supportive (promoting self-respect: “Guys are there to appreciate and affirm your significance, not create it”) and conservative (recommending that sex be delayed until marriage and that dating be delayed until one is ready to get married).A note: although the book purports to be about both genders, it’s mostly about guys. Written in a guy-centric perspective, Eastham describes guys and then mostly describes girls as not-guys; there are few glimpses from a girl-centered perspective. Thus, the best audience is probably guys who want a grounding and confirmation of their normalcy, and girls who want to better understand guys.
