Therapy in Hardcover

I started reading Dr. Laura's book 'The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands' today. While I realize that I do not currently have a husband, I do spend a lot of time trying to figure out how the male mind works so I figured it couldn't hurt to get her, well, input.

I also borrowed Dr. Phil's book 'Love Smart'. I had read it last year before I was ready to actually start dating again and it helped a lot - I think it can help even more to read it now that I've actually started to dip my toe into the dating waters again.

I have a pretty good idea in mind of what I'm looking for in a guy and in my relationships. The hard part is figuring out who I am and sticking with it - instead of remaking myself in to what I think they want me to be.

They say that woman tend to fall for a guy the way he is and then try to change him. I think I have the opposite problem - I tend to fall for guys the way they are and either they end up trying to change me or I change for them. I also get too impatient and tend to try to get things to go faster than they really should go, putting too much pressure on everything and screwing it all up.

The closer I get to thirty the more patient I seem to become. I'm not in any rush to get anywhere - I like my life the way it is - but I am open to possibility.
