Dear Kym Sellers,
I’m a well-educated, financially-stable woman. That being said, I have standards when it comes to dating. But it wasn’t until I stopped being so adamant about what I wanted that I found love. I feel I’ve lost a little of my independence, because the men I’ve dated don’t really like that. Did I make a mistake by functioning as less of a “strong woman” and more like a “sweet, dependent” woman?
