I've been reading along, but have not posted to this point.
I would recommmend to you the book "why men love bitches".
some of it goes against DB principals, but most of it is very similar to No More Mr. Nice Guy or Taking Back your nuts... but for women.
You're doing awesome & a woman who is Being In Total Control of Herself (see the first initial of each word their).. is what the book is all about and the resulting power is heady stuff.
You can handle it. Peace Bridge
Thanks Bridge... I am gonna check that out! (along with other recommended books on seduction and flirting... those just might come in handy at this point as well...)
