ChrisB, your levity is appreciated. Granted, romance is not a trait known in all men, but some men do excel -- and I love to give them credit when they do (as I'm sure you do, as well). Hey, all goes with that old saying "You catch more flies with honey than vineagar..." JovitaRose: Thanks for relaying those two wonderful love storied. You're right: sometimes the attraction bells and whistles aren't there initially -- which is why it's always important to give the more persistent guys a second chance. Besides, any of us can make a mistake on first dates, which is why do-overs are appreciated. I truly believe that a Mr. Right has to be a friend as well as a lover. If he's only a lover, it just won't last. We devote a whole chapter of this in our book. Jing, thanks for validating our myth theory. If we can stay away from preconceived perceptions as opposed to the realities of the person and the situation, you're more likely to have an open mind -- and an open heart. : ) Josie Thanks for your great comments.

Firstly, and not to be a killjoy, here - but we know that we have to be careful whenever we use words like "always" and "never". That said, I've had enough life experience to know that an initial attraction simply is not needed, and certainly not ALWAYS needed to get the ball rolling. My husband died last May, and when I first met him I truly could not stand him. He did work hard to get my attention and affection. Consequently, I shared 14 years of my life with this man. I've just started dating again,and this Sunday I'm going out for only the second time since my husband's death. Still, both these guys - the first one that I went out with and now this one - really didn't attract me at all when I first met them. Give these guys a chance and don't discount them simply because you didn't hear the proverbial bells at first glance. BTW, the first guy turned out to be a great date. We had an incredible time and I'm looking forward to seeing him again. If he's not a romantic partner, I definately want to have a friendship with him. And the second guy ? I've known him for a few months, now - and he's an absolute sweetheart. Couldn't be happier about going out together in a few days. Give them a chance.
