Kiss and Run

So in my quest to read more books, I recently read Kiss and Run by Elina Furman. This book was suggested to me by a great friend, to help me understand why girls have commitment issues. First of all, the multiple uses of the word quasi stood out to me, as this is a word my friend who suggested the book to me uses quite often. It basically breaks women with commitment issues down into 7 different catagories:

The Nitpicker - The girl looking for the literally perfect guy, meets every qualification and then some to a T, down to the very last detail.

The Serial Dater - Gets a buzz from quickly jumping from one relationship to another, sometimes multiple relationships at the same time.

The Tinker Bell - Dates inappropriate or unavailable men so they don't have to commit.

The Free Spirit - Can't commit because she's more committed to some other pursuit.

The Damsel in Distress - Guys suck, they're all jerks, I won't deal with them.

The Player - Gets a thrill not from jumping from one relationship to the next, but from jumping from one bed to the next.

The Long Distance Runner - Commits half heartedly into a relationship for an extended period of time before breaking it off, and then jumping into another long term relationship.

Eek, maybe I should just post on my online profile that I want a woman who loves me, whom I find attractive, has at least 2 similar interests, and doesn't have commitment issues, beyond that, there isn't much more I should be looking for...
