The trick is finding someone who has a healthy confidence versus the dominating, destructive kind (which isn't really confidence at all).holly cupalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15012572116406283386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632611338168133022.post-6423316878975996322010-04-19T17:41:42.968-07:002010-04-19T17:41:42.968-07:00So glad you guys could follow what I was trying to...So glad you guys could follow what I was trying to say.

Being the ONE for him is intoxicating. Unfortunately, it usually ends in heartbreak. <br /><br />But yes, I do think maybe he comes off as an alpha male that appeals to us in a cavewoman way, too, Lorie Ann.Melissa Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17130128666084908687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632611338168133022.post-27303777562545913022010-04-16T18:12:58.278-07:002010-04-16T18:12:58.278-07:00Not for me!Not for me!Little Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058463472836988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632611338168133022.post-72838521467231168862010-04-16T11:29:31.320-07:002010-04-16T11:29:31.320-07:00Three things:
