The Importance of Being Assertive

We loved this little slice-of-dating-life story over at the Sun-Herald, because it sets up the Aesop for an important point: When it's not working, step on it and go on to something else as fast as possible.

Her adventures relate her disappointment with a boyfriend who had the emotional substance of jello. And after 27 years absence from the dating pool, that last thing you want is someone who's going to waste your time. As a souvenir of her experience, she had a shirt printed up which says "I wait for no man!"

You go, Elaine! Pick up that self-esteem and go find somebody who regards you as a treasure to be cherished. To anybody else in Elaine's position, we recommend a new way to see yourself: as a god or goddess for one week. Demand presents, peace offerings, prayers, sacrifices, and be sure to pull the occasional miracle out of your hat to keep your minions trembling with respect.
