      - I guess no one knows it's bad at the time. But lots of those Rules girls live happily ever after, too. Plus, people need different things at different times.

        maybe the people in the relationship don't know, but there are always many people who look from the outside and know... like this case. what's to be gained by her saying the right things to get this guy interested?

        Again, just closing the deal in time to have a life together, children. I know a few people who dragged on 7-8 year relationships before getting the guy to commit. They were so bitter by the time the marriage happened, it was a disaster.

        I'm just saying waiting patiently isn't a great strategy either. It's always nice to feel in control of a situation, though.
