singles Stories support value of change
In last week's column, I encouraged readers to make changes to become winners in dating and relationships. I'd like to share two unsolicited success stories of people who made changes.
The first story was sent by a man who asked not to be identified. He told me he was nearly 50 when he decided to spend several thousand dollars on cosmetic dentistry.
"It gave me the movie-star smile I always wanted, and that changed everything. I approached social situations with a positive attitude, and the attractive smile helped me a lot.
"When I ran into a woman I knew on a casual basis, I decided to ask her out. I figured it wasn't likely to turn into anything as there were so many differences. We were of different religious faiths. She had never married, while I was the divorced father of grown children and had a lot of old baggage. She gave me a chance, and I did the same. We have been married for several years and have a beautiful life. I thought I was too old to start over but found out differently."
Michele's letter begins, "I'm sure you will remember me from your seminar in October last year near Erie, Pa. I had just met Patrick the night before as a blind date fix-up.
"I used all of your skills. We waited for more than two months to have a sexual relationship. It was fun for both of us to 'make out on the couch' -- we still talk about it.
"He asked about books to read. I told him if he really wanted to know me to read 'Mars & Venus on A Date' (Harper Collins, $25) and also a little later I asked him to read your book, 'Take Heart!' (Connections, $9.95).
"He asked me to marry him six months into the relationship. We have been dating a year and are getting married on April 2. Patrick is wonderful and kind. We have great physical chemistry plus a real emotional connection. We really know how to communicate. We are very much in love. I treasure your weekend seminar. It couldn't have come at a better time."
Are there changes you would like to make in your attitude, behavior or appearance? Let these stories encourage you to begin to make them.
