I personally think that both NOP AND Hap are correct.
LG, don't be stupid. But don't get overly suspicious. NOP is right, most women will not dump OM on the first go round. Bit different in Hap's case, cause she is dealing with a man, and, sorry, it's just different.
HOWEVER. Those DB techniques DO work. MWD has to be given all kinds of credit, all over the board, for her work with these types of sitches. IF IN DOUBT, CALL A DB COACH. Can I empahsize that enough? Even more than your MC, I think YOUR best bet is to get side advice from a DB coach.
Glad to hear your agent called you.
Don't mean to pry... but what kind of illustration/design work do you do? Any web stuff? Got my own selfish reasons for asking. You can email me at corri@ftio.com. I will say here, publicly, I will only discuss professional matters with you over email... all R talk it limited to here. K?
