Let me ask you this, Plum, did you at least give the book a thumb-through? Cormack's a great name, bee-tee-dub. Just pray no one calls that bugger Cormy.

I'm sure he didn't read anything into it, but it was presumptuous in two ways: (1) Assuming that you were "dating" so you needed a "guide" to figure him out (2) To let you know off the bat that you needed a manual to be the kind of woman he likes to date. I've read excerpts of the book and in essence, it champions the idea that to land the man of your dreams, you should keep him interested by playing the game hard. While I "get" the idea, why would you want to be with someone with whom your usual style of dating doesn't work? In any event, I'd say your instincts were spot on. Would love to hear your thoughts on the book and what your next encounter with him will be like... That was a bold, BOLD move on his part.

Oh, and scribble strange notes in the margins. Things like, "Self-obsessed asshole," "Mommy issues," and "Douchebag potential?"

You should right a small review and attach it to the book when you, I assume, mail it to his house in order to return it. Write the review as if you were John Grady Cole.
