A friend recommend that I read this book. Maybe you've also seen the movie. I got it from the library yesterday and I wish I had read it a month ago. (FYI, not all of the stuff in the book applies to a good Mormon girl, but I still found it very helpful and enlightening.)
The idea of waiting around for a guy to pursue me is a hard one for me. I'm a strong, forward, go-get-it type. But after reading this book I hereby swear to wait around for a guy to pursue me! Because let's be honest, that's what I really want. I want someone to come and completely sweep me off my feet.
I have decided that dating is a lot like auditioning for shows. You go in there and you think you do a great job and then don't get cast, maybe not even a call-back, and you never get any kind of feedback as to why. For a wide variety of reasons you simply don't happen to be what they are looking for. So you could be messaging a guy online and out of the blue it just stops, no response, no idea why. Or you could go out with a guy several times, talk on the phone, etc., over a period of a few weeks and then you just never hear from again. No idea what you said, or did or what happened. It's not enjoyable! But I know that I'm awesome and I want to find someone who thinks I'm way beyond awesome and is also awesome himself. So I will adjust my approach a little bit and hope that it yields better results, at the very least that it helps me be slightly less crazy through the whole process.

The companion book to that "It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken" is also fantastic!
