September 13, 2005: This story was so right on the money I might
as well have written it myself. A couple of months ago I met the
most wonderful man on the planet. Never in my wildest dreams
could I have imagined I would meet such a kind and caring
individual. I've never felt so loved in my life. We both agree
that because of our age (him being 40 and me being 35) we
appreciate each other a lot more. For years I thought I would
never get over my first love. I kept comparing every guy I ever
met to him and thinking how I missed the boat by not marrying
him when I had the chance. I now know that there was someone
better out there for me. I know that God definitely had a hand
in me finding him. Great article!

September 2, 2005: I am 31, still single and feeling a mixture
between "I'm ok, I'm happy" to other days and nights feeling "Oh
no, I'm going to be single forever!!!! Panic!!" I am starting to
look at men that I wouldn't have looked at 10 years ago, or even
6 years ago. I go out, do salsa, have a stable (ish!) career and
about to buy a house, so I am financially and emotionally
independent, apart from when the loneliness kicks in! I'm
attractive, and do attract many men, but they never seem to have
"what I want"! I am very specific and have learned through
dating in my 20's what I like in a man, and if major qualities
seem missing to me at the time, I don't - or try not to - "go
there"! I agree with this article but sometimes I worry that I
am going to be disappointed, sometimes I find myself wanting to
re-create ex-boyfriends (either physically or personality) in
the people I meet now and I know I can't do that.

While I agree that most women are not ready to marry in their 20s (I
married at 26 and was lucky), I found this article to be of little help
(to other women).
It sounds like offbeat ramblings of a middle-aged
woman that has slept around too much and is now desperate. She goes on
and on and on about all her boyfriends, implying that she had to sleep
through a bunch of toads to find a prince. Well, when every toad out
there had his turn, the prince may not be interested. Is there any way
to become a real woman and discover yourself without becoming a
pass-around? Do you have to sleep with a loser to understand that he is
a loser? The author does not offer any solid advice in this story.

feedback we did rewrite the article. This letter showed us the
points we were trying to make were not coming through.
Special thanks to Montgomery, Alabama.
