Not even 5 minutes ago I was gifted chocolate from a very sexy German man at a random restaurant in downtown Chicago.  Why?  I could argue that he was giving some to everyone, but I looked around and that was not the case.  There were other possible reasons why he might have decided to give me this "Special New Years Chocolate," but in the end, I gave the credit to myself.  I sound cocky don't I, or just honest?  Is that so terrible?

If you met me in real life you'd see pretty quickly that I don't think I'm anything spectacular.  I'm no model, I don't wear makeup often, and I'm definitely not wearing the latest styles.  I'm critical about my body, had to learn to love myself, and am a self-professed lady-geek.  But I've had the above circumstance happen to me enough times in so many different circumstances that I decided to pay attention and share what I've learned.  

My dear roommate Sarah has also been pushing me to write a book about how to get a guy to commit because it seems to come way too naturally for me.  And, it seems, most young women have trouble getting men to want to start a relationship, let alone stay in one and value it as a potential marriage.  And yet here I am, galavanting through life finding these guys who are ready to move across countries, drop the love word asap, buy me sexy dresses and jewlery, father my children, and any other number of lovely things that most women dream of.  Why?  That's what we're going to figure out.  Together.
