The first time I picked up this book was over fifteen years ago. My friend and I were just coming out of relationships, and had heard of the book. We figured we would give it a read. I was visiting with her, and we read it out loud to each other every night. Could it be true, that we were doing every thing wrong, when we were dating, and attracting new men in our life? Were we too clingy? Were we calling too much? When they say we will call, did that mean the next day, when it really meant in a few days? I really did like some of the thoughts of how we are from two different worlds, and words mean different things to men and women. That is definitely true. I am older now, married, and can see how my husband and I have different definitions on "I will be home later?" To me "later," means two hours or less to him it means "whenever!" Funny thing, when we were unpacking one day, my husband found the book and starting reading it. He said he wanted to understand where us women were coming from. Guess it works both ways.
