"Hey Paige,
 
I got your book last September, desperate to break my vicious
cycle of the needy woman always attracting self centred,
commitment phobes.
 
Having finally walked out of a very on/off, soul destroying and
destructive 15 year relationship the previous April, I knew the
last thing I wanted or needed was to go back there again.  
 
So I read your book, followed your advice and very soon noticed
a change in the way I was treated by and how I treated my
prospective dates. It was great, I HAD MORE PHONE NUMBERS AND
INTEREST THAN I KNEW WHAT TO DO WITH and I threw myself
into being wined, dined, complimented and treated like a lady by the
opposite sex (which was something I had definitely missed out on
over 15 years). It was fabulous, I never felt guilty about not sleeping
with them and although I knew it was what they wanted, they never
asked.  
 
In October 06, I got a call out of the blue from an old friend
inviting me for dinner. I accepted, I always knew him to be the
perfect gentleman and with our friendship having spanned some 22
years, I knew this guy was never gonna hit on me.  He was just
going through a divorce. We both shared our tales of woe re: the
perils of relationships and living life in the single lane again
and while nothing physical happened, our friendship moved up a
notch.  
 
In the past, I had never looked at him as boyfriend material, to be
honest I always thought he was a bit to good looking and confident
for me and that I was out of his league. So, I played it cool, I
let him do all the calling and chasing, texting and travelling. I
never accepted dates on the same night which let him know that I
had a full and eventful life.  
 
All I can say is that he was like a moth to the flame. I never put
any demands on him, I was just aloof enough for him to realise
that he may have competition and that I was no easy catch.
Eventually, I cooked dinner for him for his birthday, when he told
me that he had put my name in his phone as "My Girl."
 
That was February and today we are almost inseparable. He treats me
like a Queen, calls me Princess everyday, sends me the most amazing
beautiful romantic txt messages, leaves post-it notes all over the
flat telling me how much he loves me, cooks me dinner and makes me
breakfast, but most importantly, we have become what some might
call Soul Mates.  I practice your advice everyday.
 
We've been living together since May. We never argue, even petty
squabbles, we never take each other for granted, we talk like
sensible adults if we don't like something, but in general we are
happy just to be in each other's company.  
 
My friends and family can't believe the difference in my whole
persona, they can't believe how happy and healthy and confident
I look. They say that he has mellowed me, but I put it down to your
good advice and making the changes within myself first.
 
I never thought I would be so happy, I certainly never thought
it was possible to have love on my terms, but I've managed to land
myself a wonderful man who treats me and our relationship like it
something worth preserving instead of running away from -
how refreshing!  
 
So thank you so much.
 
Peace & Love,
Di"
