I have been dating this guy for over 2 mths. we have been out over 10x and each date lasts at least 5-8hrs. some of them even over 12 hrs. 2 weeks ago, I asked him where we are heading and he said “I like you..very much in fact. but i am probably not ready to be in a relationship”. So I probed him the reason and he mentioned about his emotional baggage. So he is still in love with his ex gf who broke up 6 yrs ago. They are now both single and travel on holidays together and are “friends with benefits”.

Hi, I am only 18 but I have lost all my confidence in guys. I first started having my first relationship when I was 16 and that was my last. I never did trusted another guy after because I felt that all they were saying were flattering and all lies. My first relationship was like a breeze, it came a little too soon and gone with the wind even before anything much started. It lasted for only three months. But I was into what he said, stuffs like “I love you till the end of time and space”, ” For you are the brightest star, no other stars I therefore see.” Please help me to regain my trust and confidence in men.” - P

… it could be also a hug!

What am I talking about? It’s our love languages!

Finally, after hearing all the accolades on this book, I bought it from MPH Bookstore and finished reading it. At last!

I’m referring to this wonderful book by Dr Gary Chapman – “The Five Love Languages“.

The Five Love Languages - Dr Gary ChapmanThis is a very readable book. Why do I say that? Because of the way it is written, with lots of real life couple stories that Dr Chapman shared through his experience of working with them to resolve their marital issues.

This book saved me. Literally.

It pulled me out of the self-wallowing, insecure, non-believer in men and relationship pond and pushed me into the mutual-understanding and learning, secure and believer in relationship pasture.

If my sister hadn’t asked, implored, nudged, pushed and finally ”screamed” at me to go buy the book, I am dead certain that I won’t be who I am today, and you won’t be reading this blog. Instead, you may hear all my victim stories and lamentation.

I finally bought this book in Hong Kong, and I read it.

I read it again.
