DEAR E·RIK,_
Dear Erik,
I am a 35 year old woman
and I am . 0 tired of everybody
that I know using me or taking
advantage of me. I try 0 hard
to be nice to people and yet I
no that most people think
I am a big fool. I help people
out all the time by doing them
all kind of favors and nice
things for them. So many of
them 0 e me money and they
ould never think of paying
me bac and ome of them I
e everyday. I know that I
got to make ome very riou
change in the way people e
me. But I am wondering if its
not too late. I don't think that
I need to see a p ychologist
or anything like that. But I
just wondering if there
ere any books that you might
recommend for me to read.

One of the better boo on the
bject of If- Ip' "Loo' I
Our F or umber One" by
Robert J. Ringer. I found the
boo not only intere ina but
u ful in yin 'no' and not
feel bad about it. It will teach
you to have value for value
relatio hip. Start 'th this
boo and I think that you will
fmd . othe to be a bi help
to you.
Dear Erik,
I just started going out with
a nice looking guy whom I liked
for some time now. Even
though we work for the same
company, we don't really know
each other well. On the first
date all he wanted to do was
make love to me. I said yes
because I w hoping to have
a real relationship with him.
ow we have been dating for
over 3 weeks and all he ever
wants to do is make love to me.
I want the man to take me
riously and not as orne cheap
affair. But at this point I really
don't know what to do, I don't
want to 100 him.

J.W.,
Here are a couple of
io for you. Be hon
younelf d your friend. Te
him ho the phy icaI relation-
'p' affecting you. Let him
kno that you need and de e
more out of a relationship th
h t you are gettin. In order
to feel more complete you
need to be cared for and not
u d. If he d 't want the
same tho that you ant,
op ing him. You can't
loo what you ne r had.
