Dear Ms. Sue!
You pinched The Root fabulously!
“It really depends on how he behaves afterwards…(whether) making the steps to be a part of your life and your future”.

Your advice makes it easy to “figure out” intentions of any *Him*
Enjoy every Happy Return of Figuring!

I had this happen to me a couple times too. Honestly it scared the hell out of me.. because it’s soo early on and you hardly know the person and also its coming from a male. I can’t get used to it. Anyways, what I have figure out is that…

A) He’s trying to get into your pants
B) He’s genuinely interested in you and wants to see if you are going to have some long-term stay

It really depends on how he behaves afterwards. Is he making the steps to be apart of your life and your future?

My oh My, Dears!
Methought = “it’s odd” to refrain from asking ANY question on ANY essential issue [e.g., "marriage"] on the FIRST date!

If *date* = getting to know all about, why not! take the shortest road. Hearing the *wrong* answer trumps spinnng wheels, no traction.

Friend hunter’s point re-”has to mention marriage” is best evidence of wheels being spun. Of course! No such handiwork cast onto such as U, Dearh.
…….PeaceOut!

I didn’t think you were playing.

Either you are a beautiful woman and if this man doesn’t marry you, he knows someone else will.

Or, the man knows enough about relationships, that, he has to mention marriage, or, he knows you will not stay.

Umm, I wasn’t playing at all… there is this weird idea current in some circles that just because a woman dates a younger guy all she is after is “play.” I just think it’s odd on the fourth date or so to be asked about marriage. And I was really into both of the guys and both “relationships” blew up in my face. So I asked for some advice.

I find nothing wrong with play time, if that is what is going on. But, why write in for help?

No question here but I just had to write to gush about how much I loved your book!
Brilliant!
Genius!
Hysterically funny!
I think I now have a far better understanding of male behavior than I ever have before.
This is excellent news!
This makes me very hopeful for the future and that I may begin to actually be able to relate to men better and understand them.
I’ve read tons of crap relationship books that never did the job.
Yours, straight forward, honest and incredibly humorous, did the trick.
I’ll be recommending this book to all of my girlfriends!
Thanks-
Charlotte

If Lynne has to ask this question, she doesn’t like this man. He must be the very aggressive type that is all over her.
