Dating - It's a jungle out there
You thought you'd left all that dating game behind you when you got married, and now here you are again: back in play. Or, perhaps you've been dating for years, and even though you're ready to settle down, it seems as though you just can't find the right person.

And dating isn't as much fun as it should be.

Tattoos On My Soul You've tried all kinds of ways to meet partners; bars and clubs, dating agencies and dating through personal ads, websites, blind-dates and many a painful dinner party with well meaning friends. All you have to show for it is a string of first dates and a few short lived flings...

Meeting people isn't hard. Meeting the right person (and keeping them) is.

Well, I hate to tell you, but 90% of the time, when a person isn't successful at dating, it's usually their own fault. And the root cause is often insecurity, lack of focus and lack of self-esteem.

Here are some tough questions to ask of yourself before you seriously begin dating:

  • Would I rather be by myself than in a relationship that doesn't make me happy?
  • Am I prepared to make the commitments of time and energy required?
  • Am I looking for a partner to "add-value" to my life, or just for fun?
  • Do I have a healthy enough respect for myself to even be dating?
  • Do I know my own value? (I'll give you a clue: if the answer isn't "high" you've got some serious work to do!)
    • Am I in good shape physically?
    • Do I take care of myself?
    • Am I confident enough not to "compete?"
    • Is the rest of my life in good order?

I suspect that there will be more than a few "no's" sprinkled among the "yes'."

Burrel's Real Talk:
Question of the Week: "Have I lost my boyfriend because I was unfaithful?"

Q: Jane from NJ asks: "I made a terrible mistake a few months ago, and slept with a guy I met while my boyfriend was out of town. It was a tawdry one-nighter that I can't hardly even remember. He found out I'd been unfaithful of course--I had guilt written all over me--and said he forgave me, but I don't think he has. It all feels wrong and awkward now and I'm so scared I've lost him."
