A wave of jealousy crossed over me yet again as I saw yet another happy, pretty couple hopelessly in love walking hand-in-hand down the street. “Why can't I ever seem to get a guy like that?" I wondered. Most of the guys I dated ended up not returning my phone calls or texts or any other form of communication after a while. “I think we should just be friends" or “I don't want to get tied down right now" became the hallmark phrases of my love life.

I was tired of dating jerks. I realized how low my standards had fallen, and that I didn't really believe I could keep the interest of a great guy through flirting over the phone or texting, much less in person. Little did I know that there are MANY women out there just like me, and there ARE some proven ways to keep a guy's attention longer than two minutes at a time. What women like me really need is boot camp in how to flirt with a guy over text, email, and the phone without turning him off.

Crying alone in my apartment on yet another lonely Saturday night with Ben and Jerry as my only male companionship, I started searching the web for advice on how to improve my chances finding and keeping the right guy. It was then that I stumbled across Bob Grant's “The Woman Men Adore…and Never Want to Leave". His description of what I was going through was spot-on, and of course I was intrigued and had to know more.

As I read, I realized how I was flirting with a guy over texting or email in completely the wrong way. I learned the cold hard truth: no matter how fabulous, sexy, smart a woman you are, there are sure-fire ways to turn a guy off. Bob's e-book went straight to the heart of the problem and gave me new insight into the mind of a man.

Shortly after finishing the book, I started to approach dating Bob's way. I figured I had literally nothing to lose, so why not try a different approach? I eventually met a great guy at my favorite coffee shop. Cute, smart, successful- what every woman wants. And you know what? This time I didn't mess it up! I followed Bob's advice and I'm now in a fantastic relationship that's been going strong for over six months!
