Hey, it was really a compliment in disguise, cause it meant I jump at your advice first chance around. And since I'm through with reading by now: Yes, it is great!

But it makes me wonder, cause lots of the things advised I'd done already intuitively( or due to other great books) and though I'm admittedly still working on an overall vision as well as details, I do feel good about my life.

And it's not like guys wouldn't be coming my way, but it's guys I'm totally out of sync with that come with so much baggage and stress attached that really I feel a wave of relief wash over me when they're out of my life once again. It's like I think: Life is good, let's go out and share it and end up with a guy on my tail reminding me of the phantom of the opera (on a spiritual level).

And it makes me miserable, cause they are nice fellows and I can see that they're unhappy and their lives don't really work the way they want to and I want to help them and I do care, on the other hand there's a strong drive in me to be happy myself and not get sucked up into their world, and I know I'll be lots happier without them, yet I feel cruel and unfeeling in pushing them back out of my life again and saving my own butt.

That's not really the situation described in the book, is it?
