Frowning is a total romance killer. As even Annie knows, you’re never fully dressed without a smile. This tip may seem obvious. And yet so many people slap on sullen faces when walking down the street or going about their business. I think they get caught up in their own thoughts and don’t realize what messages their faces are sending. …
With February – the V-Season – quickly approaching, I thought you’d enjoy a brief, true, love-igniting story… One of my girlfriends is the diva of practical jokes. Mundane is not her MO, and she’ll hang in for the long haul to see a good prank through. But she never dreamt that long haul could translate into ten years—and with this …
This morning while cleaning out my files, I ran across my itinerary from a business trip to NYC a while back. It was one of my favorites. I made friends with people from America to South Africa, and my book sold out in every store! One of the most interesting men I met was an attractive professional squash player with …
One of my favorite stories of a marriage proposal gone awry happened to my friend at this time of year. Her boyfriend surprised her with a trip to Manhattan. They were students, finances were tight, and she realized that he wouldn’t be doing this if it were not a supremely special occasion. She suspected that he planned to propose in …
In the spirit of mistletoe season, I polled some savvy men on their dating preferences. These three had insights guaranteed to give any girl a dose of confidence! “A genuine woman is hot. Trying too hard to impress or acting stuck up is not.” 24, California “Girls sometimes try to be sexy by acting aloof, but a smile is the …
This morning, I woke up recalling how three years ago on Black Friday, I sold out at a Borders’ book signing for The Single Girl’s Guide to Meeting European Men. My book had only been out about two months, and in the first two weeks had hit #1 in its genre. It quickly sold out at all five Manhattan Barnes …
Last weekend while I was in Vancouver BC for Shaw TV, I went around town filming men chatting about women. I can’t wait for you to meet them. When I’m done editing the video, I’ll post it.
Here it is! I’m so impressed with all your AMAZING ideas!!
Once again, I LOVED all of your fantastic ideas about what should happen. I incorporated most of them into this installment. Many of you thought along the same lines. It’s true, great minds do think alike! I’m excited to hear how you want this to end for Plain Jane, the Sexcapader, and the Princess Bride!!!
Thank you so much for your amazing comments and emails! Your thoughtful analyses of what should happen in the characters’ lives are impressive. The producers I’ve worked with on this project are all men in their 30’s to 60’s. I respect them. They’ve had some mega-hits, but there is quite a difference between their concepts of what girls want and …
I really enjoyed reading your comments and emails about where you’d like Miss Sexcapader to meet her first fling. Your ideas were terrific. They inspired me in writing this section, but it was hard to decide who to follow. Many described the Sexcapader as a cool, beer-guzzling girl, who is into lust, not love. Others countered that she’d be up …
Thank you so much for all of your input about which three girls from The Single Girl’s Guide to Meeting European Men you would like in a fictionalized story. I loved your comments and emails! Despite the fact that the producers all had different opinions, you came up with some really good suggestions that they hadn’t thought of. I especially …
