Kristen is 43 and finds herself in a time of tremendous personal growth. She found herself dating someone whose better than others, yet, not quite right either.

She had common thoughts like "if I only I could change him, than he'd be marriage material..." hoping for something that was highly unlikely.

Her man didn't make many promises but he did seem to lead her on and ask for more than she was comfortable giving ... only to soon thereafter say "I'm sorry, I wish I could be that man for you, but I can't".

Book-ended between the place of longing, biological and spiritual pressures and self-confidence, she gradually built up the inner-strength needed to tell him NO MORE.

It's a tough spot - where loneliness begs for relief, and your heart is quick to ignore the gentle voice of intuition warning you of danger.

This year or so of dating someone, however, was not without purpose. She had some positive take aways. Most important of all, Kristen has become a stronger individual, a stronger woman and a stronger partner for the man that will choose her and only her!
