Why is it so difficult to find a simple, straightforward, honest-to-goodness relationship - especially when the world is so wide open to us? With millions of people looking for love, why does it seem almost impossible to find? And, just when we think that maybe we have… it turns out that we haven't! It can be downright disheartening, can't it? Not to mention crushing to our increasingly tender sense of self-worth. Well, fear not - help is at hand! Intuitive consultant, Leanne Halyburton, has worked with literally thousands of women who are struggling to manoeuvre their way through the world of attraction and dating. And this is not her how-to book… it is her how*-not-*to! If we are going to understand what we need to do in order to attract and develop a mature, mutually supportive relationship, we also need to be aware of what we should avoid. Let's face it, we can become so lost in the woods of dating that we lose sight of the trees! Leanne doesn't patronise or offer unrealistic advice. She wants to help her readers to cut down on the time-wasting and unnecessary heartache. She doesn't refer to women as goddesses or suggest that they are fragile creatures, because she knows that that isn't what they want or need. She doesn't encourage game-playing and manipulation, because, in the bigger picture, it simply doesn't work. If you are reading this book then you are probably serious about becoming more empowered in your quest for a decent, loving relationship that has long-term potential. She is pretty straight-talking... but the blows are softened by her characteristic dry humour! Although ' Break Those Disempowering Dating Habits! Down To Earth Advice For Frustrated Women ' is a collection of (edited) posts from Leanne's blog, she has created this book - as requested by a grateful customer- so that the content can be easily accessed and revisited whenever necessary.
