Kiss and Run : The Single, Picky, and Indecisive Girl's Guide to Overcoming Fear of Commitment
Overview
Based on the stories of more than one hundred women, this straight-talking guide helps single women conquer commitment anxiety and say yes to love. You may be commitment-phobic if:
- You have a mile-long list of requirements for your ideal mate
- You go from one short-lived relationship to the next
- You have a habit of dating "unavailable" men
- You think many of your married friends have settled for less
- You are constantly blowing "hot" and "cold" in your relationships
For years, it was the men who had the monopoly on commitment-phobia. Today, single women are the fastest-growing segment of the population, with over forty-seven million single women in this country and twenty-two million of them between the ages of twenty-five and forty-four. Whatever the reason--fear of divorce, increased financial independence, delayed motherhood--more women than ever no longer feel the urgency, or the ability, to settle down. Lucky for this growing group of women, author and former commitment-phobe Elina Furman has written Kiss and Run, the first-ever book about female commitment anxiety. Filled with fun quizzes, first-person testimonials, and step-by-step action plans, Kiss and Run includes the top-five panic buttons, advice for curbing overanalysis, and tips for fixing negative commitment scripts. You'll also find the seven types of commitment-phobes, including the Nitpicker, the Serial Dater, and the Long-Distance Runner.
