How is the best way for me to go about looking for one that emphasis on relationships?


I cannot begin to tell you how fed up I am with the people I pick to date. WHY do I get so

I don't think you need one that specializes in relationships. You need one that specializes in understanding yourself and addressing self esteem issues.

I have relationship issues myself due to my father's inability to show love and a few other things.

I think that when you can realize you have a pattern of behavior you want to change you have made an important first step.

Do you have family or relationship counselors in your area? Most offer free consultations so you can interview them to pick a good fit for you - location, price, philosophy.

I am hoping Jennie sees this because she worked very well with one and she probably has the best insight.

I think you should give the online dating thing a rest and just work at being happy and settled for now, Cat. But that is just me - I have given up on that because there are just too many dodos out there. Do you think that is it for you as well?

I hope you are doing okay - keep us posted.
