Here's a thought

A friend gives you a self-help book entitled "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff in Love". How does that person perceive you?

Hopeless romantic?

Pathetic Loser?

Drama Queen?

Or she may very well tell me, "Get your head out of the water and face reality! You're not a fucking fifteen year old anymore!!!

I didn't know how to react when one of my girlfriends told me she came across the book and thought of me.

Am I really that transparent?

My first thought was to pretend I like it, go home and torch it. Then a few days later, tell her how the book had been a big help to my more than zero love life and I'm ready to go back on the dating saddle again. Then I'll vow that I would never fuck up any relationship that would come my way. I would start treating that person the way I like to be treated and we will live happily ever after.

Then I started reading a few chapters and let's just say, I may not torch that book just yet...
