A reader has taken me to task for suggesting that checking a guy's cell phone for evidence he's been talking to other women is unattractive. She made some excellent points that I'm thinking over seriously.
While the women I'd referred to routinely surveilled innocent boyfriends, this reader had serious grounds to believe her fellow was cheating. She checked his cell phone and found that he had indeed text messaged another woman about "getting together."
She followed her instincts, and that's a good thing. She did what she had to do.
But I think we can fairly set her apart from women (and men) who suffer from the kind of insecurity that compels them--without sufficient cause-- to check up on good, devoted, true loves and ultimately drive them away.

The only time I will pay on a first, or, second date, is if I KNOW I don't want to see the guy again!
Hello, Margaret!
Your instincts are right on. Many women do pay for the first or second date to be fair about it, and then the guys figure they "just want to be friends" and stop calling.
