Myth #3: You hit this on the spot! I was in a “serious” relationship for several years, but was always introduced as “This is a friend of mine, Susan”. As I live in a foreign country, at first I didn’t pick up on the use of “a friend” (which, BTW, is even lower down the totem pole than “my friend”), but soon I did… And it represented EXACTLY my position – one of several in a collection he was juggling, while we were supposedly exclusive (meaning, I was exclusively HIS!). Oh, to have read this blog or book BEFORE wasting my precious time with this non-quality guy… Thanks for all your efforts, Lisa Copland! Keep ’em coming!
