However, if you are a man in tune with your feminine side (or trying to get there), feel free to read on. It's mainly the stuff we talk about but that noone ever wrote down. It's all the stuff in all those self help books that we read, all the stuff that should be said but aren't. This is just a venting spiel, about the idiosyncrasies of dating and how to make it better.Vixenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14064520755523082756noreply@blogger.comBlogger533125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12639280.post-53990547306269723162009-07-08T16:35:00.001-07:002009-07-08T16:35:51.489-07:00PANTENE is looking for you!Pantene is looking for real women (that's us!) for their 2010 ad campaign.
