Has anyone read this book? It is fantastic and has totally helped me to understand men and not to make excuses or second guess their bad behavior.

There is also a female companion called, Face, it you're not that into him either.

Get them both used on Amazon for a few bucks. Definately worth it.

No kidding. You know you'd be much better off if you just beat your head against a wall, but you just can't help it.
I felt like I was abandoning my ex when I finally said goodbye.

Its almost as bad as grief. I wake up every morning missing him and wishing things were different. What's worse, is he pursued me and seemed to be very into me for the first few months, taking me everywhere, wanting to see me all the time, calling all the time and he wanted to take me out of the country at one point. Then in a matter of weeks, his interest faded and now he only wants to be friends. But my feelings have not changed.

I've been trying to date other guys to put him out of my mind but none interest me nearly as much as J. I was falling hard for him. Now I'm left trying to forget all about him. Truth is, I just want him and the good times back.

Yeah, I wish that it had been out 30 years ago.

Every mom and dad that is raising a daughter must buy this book for her. It needs to become required reading for young women.

Ha. My mom bought it for me. :) This was when it'd first come out and I wasn't sure what it was about, so when I saw the title, my response was, "gee thanks mom." But she did good. :)

However, I'm not sure I agree with the "if he likes you, he'll come upstairs." Coming upstairs at the end of a night, to me, is almost an invitation to have sex, and I think the acceptance of the invitation would depend on when it came (well, for some guys!). Am I nuts here?

I agree with you and Kudos for your mom.
