Kiss and Run

The Author: Elina Furman is a self-proclaimed commitment-phobe, and she's written several books on dating and singles.

The Hook: Men aren't the only ones with commitment issues. Don't let a fear of commitment keep you from saying "yes" to true love and happiness.

Who Should Buy: Jen Schefft. (Just kidding.) Women who could say yes to at least three of Furman's Top Ten Signs You're Commitment-phobic, which include "You have a long and elaborate list of requirements for your ideal mate" and "You have a habit of dating 'unavailable' men."

Sample Quote: "If you're choosing to be with someone who isn't ready for a serious relationship, what does that say about you? Remember the Golden Rule: IF YOU'RE WITH A COMMITMENT-PHOBE, YOU ARE A COMMITMENTPHOBE."
