A colleague who has a solid approach to the specific area of avoiding cycles of breakups and how to get over them, effectively, is having a telecall next week. You can find the info here and I encourage you to check it out:

I just got word that I’ll be writing about men for women on examiner.com starting next week. Should be a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to it. Here’s my latest on The Bachelor Guy: http://www.thebachelorguy.com/just-say-no-to-pick-up-lines.html

Have a good wknd and enjoy V-Day. Hopefully, I’ll be over my flu by then. (First time I’ve been sick in over four years.)

Last week I asked you to send me your fears about the opposite sex. I told you I’d address them and answer your questions. Well, I’m not going to do it; at least not this week. What? Why not?

How does it feel? To be told someone will do something and then not have him deliver? It sucks. Think about that the next time you tell someone you will call or give them your digits or decide to just stop talking to someone or returning their calls after a few dates as a way to end it. We do these things claiming we are doing them to make it easy on others. Really? Who are we really making it easy on when we don’t deliver on our word or tell someone we will do something simply because we don’t want to face an uncomfortable situation? Ourselves. When you tell someone something that’s simply not true–”Yes, let’s definitely go out again. Call me,” you’re making it easier on you not them. Quit kidding yourself. If we all treated each other better, dating and relationships would be better. Don’t just think about it; make a change. In the end, you’ll be happier and draw more people to you.
