For
every girl who wondered if she should love him or dump him.....
For
every girl who listened to her heart instead of her friends advice....
For
every girl who l wondered if she was wasting her time dating that guy....
Meet
Hilary....
She
had gotten used to dating the commitment-phobic Marc, thirteen years her
senior. They had a great relationship--why rush into things? She saw no need to
pressure him for marriage, believing that when the time was right, he would
propose. But after they had been together for four years, their friends decided
to take matters into their own hands, pushing Marc to propose and making Hilary
realize how much she really did want to marry the man that she loved.
Unfortunately, Marc still wasn't ready--and their friends' meddling in the form
of a faux engagement party led to a disastrous New Year's Eve that brought
their relationship to an inevitable turning point.
For
anyone who has ever dated a commitment-phobe, who has found their patience
wearing thin with the one they love, or who has sat around wondering if he is
ever going to pop the question while trying to remain the very picture of
patience and grace, Hilary's humorous and honest story will hit home.

Excerpt
“Oh, don’t worry. I had
no intention of ever calling him again. And I think he knew it. If my mumbling
‘yeah right’ when he told me to call him didn’t give him a clue, then it was my
demeanor when I left the house. I was cold as ice, and hurt as hell. There is
no doubt in my mind that as I pulled out of the driveway he realized he really
blew it. But I did well, I didn’t cry until I was safely alone in my car.”
“Well, that’s good. I’m
glad he didn’t see you cry.”
“I had no desire to go
home and sit by myself. Nor did I have any desire to reach to a friend and try
to make spur-of-the-minute plans. I didn’t want to tell anyone what happened,
nor did I want anyone’s advice. I am tired of everyone telling me I am crazy
for dealing with his shit. So I drove to a shoe store halfway between my house
and his, and wandered around. I was there for about a minute, when I called my
mother, hysterical. The poor lady, she was at a wedding, and she was trying to
console me!
“Your poor mom,” Jaye
answered. I knew she could relate—her son is my age, and she has shared in his
dating dramas.
“She didn’t know what to
do or what to tell me. She kept reminding me she was at a wedding, which didn’t
really help my emotional state, if you know what I mean.”
“Yeah, I can understand,”
Jaye grinned.
“So I got mad at her and
hung up. I wandered around the store for a few minutes, barely able to see past
my rage. Now, you know I am really upset when a new pair of shoes can’t lift my
spirits.”
“Oh, yes. Usually retail
therapy solves your problems,” Jaye said. “But enough about shoes, what
happened next?”
