Hi everyone, I've been there, and I know what it's like to have crushes on guys who don't care about you, date guys who are verbally abusive, date addicts and alcoholics, play hard to get and still not get the guy, and blame myself for scaring a guy off by having sex "too soon". I now know that it's all about my attitude, and I want to share my philosophy about dating with all of you. I believe women are confused by the dating myths and rules that don't work in today's dating world. I share many of my views about dating, finding Mr. Right and true love on my relationship advice website www.isthistruelove.com so I welcome all of you to read more by clicking on my link below. It's my goal to empower women to feel good about their needs and desires when they date guys. I enjoy reading what all of you have to say, dear cupid is a great site!
