Hi April!

I need advice on breaking up during the holiday season… Specifically: How can one end a long, intense romantic relationship with finesse if the break should happen during the holiday season (it’s tricky this time of year, with Thanksgiving, religious holidays, and of course the New Year kiss)… And how does one rebound with the New Year’s positive attitude?

Thank you!

Best,
MissChris

Hi April,

I need some advice. I am interested in a guy at my gym. He was in a relationship with a girl and it appears to have ended months ago. She goes there also, but I notice they don’t even speak to each other anymore.
When is the right time to approach someone after they breakup with someone?
It appears to me, that she is over him because she ignores him. I am not sure if he is over her, because I notice how he looks at her when she is there.

He is the kind of guy that only had eyes for her. I never saw him speak to another girl nor have I seen him look at any girls in interest. So it makes it hard to determine if he is over her.

I heard from someone else she is already seeing someone else.

I have read many advice columns that say women shouldn’t approach men. Men should approach women. It is against “The Rules of Dating”.
I can tell this guy is different from other guys. He seems like a nice guy. He doesn’t flirt or hit on the women in the gym like most of the other guys there.
Should I wait to see if he notices me?What should I do if anything?

Thanks,
CaraC

April,

I started reading “Think & Date Like a Man” today and am totally blown away. What an unbelievable resource! I make it my daily practice to learn how to improve my life and to live more consciously. Your book covers the gamut of my other material with regard to personal development and relationships in one volume.

At 44 I have done well in many areas of my life save one: my relationships with men. Some of my realtionships ended well in that I have a lasting friendship with mutual respect with those persons. Others, not so well. The key here is my choices have not been good overall. For the most part, I have dated beneath my station in life. My friends and family have lamented my choices and put up with them. I know my behavior is the result of a poor self-image despite my achievements and outward confidence.

Now that I am aware of this, it is my singular goal to improve this area of my life. I have worked hard at my small business and I am financially stable and independent. I have been told time and again I am not lacking for looks and intelligence. Yet, I have never been able to envision myself with a man of status. Somwhere in my life I must have decided early on I was disqualified for this position. Regardless, I am now taking steps within to make the change without.

If I have one regret, it is that I was not exposed to the application and principles in your book at an earlier age. How much pain it would have saved me and those around me. I am grateful for your effort to educate women in this so-called era of liberation. As independent as I am and having worked in a male dominated field my whole career, I would gladly attend a charm school now. I love being a woman, and only now am I learning where my true power lies. Its not about being a tough or man-ish. Its about cultivating elegance, grace and celebrating life.
