Dear Janice, I just read your article about "relationship gifts," and I noticed that you had written a section about a question that I had asked you on the night of the speech. You stated: "It began when a woman came up to me after my "Chemistry, Love & Chocolate" workshop. She said that she had gone on a few dates with a man who now wanted to break up. He had told her this over the phone, but he happened to be at the workshop and he suggested that they go out for coffee to talk. She told me that she liked the man and was sad that he didn't want to continue, so what should she do now? she asked me. "I remember feeling inspired and said, "Just go and focus on listening to what he says. Try not to be defensive. Every relationship is a gift, and he will give you valuable information that you can use to eventually attain the relationship you really want." I wanted to let you know that I did take your advice and went to coffee, and I must say that you were completely right. I learned a lot about myself and I can definitely use it for next time. However, he did turn out to be a more disappointing person than I thought he was.
