I would also recommend the book "Why I Love Men: The Joys of Dating," by J.J. Smith. Some of the topics I suggest you take a look at are "<a href="http://www.jjsmithonline.com/">Why men cheat</a>," "5 truths about men that you really need to know," and "How to steer clear of unavailable men and attract the man who is right for you." www.jjsmithonline.com
It feels good to write.
