Lol, we have John over at separated and he is a ... BEAST!!!!
Italians are not my kind of guys but they have one characteristic, very difficult to resist:they make each and every woman feel VERY special, unique, pretty... I know it sounds naive but I swear they do that. I refused going to Italy for years while my BGF lived there because Italians made me feel awkard. At least the ones I knew (since I did go, I keep going back for more ). Book? No, no books that I know of. Maybe think of yourself when you first met your wife but while you were still not in a relationship... K
