A lot of it sounds just like what my Mom and Grandma kept telling me, but I wouldn't listen. (common sense?)

Through some cruel twist of fate, we are obviously destined to be deaf and/or incredulous when the people who care the most about us are giving us good advice. Yeah, sure, it all seems so clear NOW...when I don't need the advice anymore. But it worked out just like the book says (just like most common sense does). Working up to our first date and beyond, the "right guy" made it quite clear he was just as interested in me as I was in him. (Our eleventh wedding anniversary is tomorrow.)

I was trying to tell this to a friend who was having man troubles. She was asking me about my early relationship with my late husband. I didn't have to guess if he liked me. I didn't have to wait for his call or wait for him to show up at the door. I didn't have to wonder if we were going out. I couldn't get rid of him and 6 months after we met we were married and were married until he died 14 years later.

There's a big difference between that and an on-and-off 'relationship' in which the woman never knows where she stands and each time the guy barely looks her way, she thinks maybe it's going to go deeper.

I don't know how good this book is, but the title surely is on track. I know a few women (including me in my pre-hubby days) who should be slapped upside the head just with the title.
