How to bag yourself a husband
continued from page 2
Rachel swears that this method has proved successful in the past. At this point, there are several mutters of "We're British, we can't do that", but they are shot down mid-air by Rachel's steely glare.
'That's just an excuse. Sure, there are cultural differences between you and American women. The main one I see is that you British women are more reserved. The Program is exactly what you Brits need: a kick in the pants to be proactive about going after what you want.
'We all want to find happiness and if a loving relationship is what you want, then I say go after it using any methods that aren't illegal or immoral! After all, if what you've been doing so far hasn't worked, what have you got to lose?'
Perhaps it's that British stiff upper lip making a reappearance, but when Rachel says that you shouldn't see a night class as an opportunity to do something you enjoy but as an opportunity to meet men - think fly fishing rather than photography - there are stifled giggles of embarrassment around the room.
But with The Program flying in at No 6 on the Sunday Telegraph's best-seller list, Rachel is confident she can crack the British woman's cynical attitude.
'There has been some scepticism, but the feedback overall has been phenomenal. Emails to my website from British women have been incredibly positive, telling me how they were shy at first but tried something from the book and it worked.'
It's the end of the seminar and the 60 women leave clutching their copies of The Program. You can't knock the expressions of inspiration and hope on some of their faces. Me? I still believe that love calls for a bit of luck and magic: it's not something you can go looking for. Don't tell Rachel, though: she'll just say I'm not ready to get with The Program...
