Why do we always have to know why a relationship didn’t work out, or why someone didn’t call back, or why someone isn’t into us anymore? Why do we always need an answer? Why…

I love that. The new way of breaking up right now is via Facebook.
Status: Single.
Status: It’s complicated.
Status: Single again.
Do you know how many clients I talk to who have been broken up….

So your best friend is about to marry the craziest woman you’ve ever met.

Are you a rehasher?

No, not somebody who orders eggs and hash browns at the diner, takes them home, and then rehashes them the next morning.

The other rehashing.

Here’s a quote that I want you guys to pin up on your board. You’re going to need it throughout your entire life. You’re going to need it in everything you do, from relationships to dating to work. Here’s the quote:
“Decide what you want, and learn how to ask for it.”

Does this sound familiar?
You’re in a relationship, but you don’t really want to be in a relationship, so you’re constantly going out with friends (or telling your significant other that you’re going out with friends). But what you’re really doing is secretly making yourself available so you can look for something better, look for a replacement for the man or woman that you’re with.

Gotta love the fade away. It’s one of the best dating tactics in the entire world.
So you went out with somebody, you had a great time, maybe you slept together, maybe you didn’t, but now you’ve determined that this person just isn’t for you. Now when it comes to dating and relationships, most of us are complete chicken shit because there are a lot of feelings and emotions involved, and it’s a really intimate thing.

“She broke up with me out of the blue”
Have you ever thought that when you were in a relationship that came to an end? Have you ever been completely taken by surprise?
I don’t think there’s any truth to a statement like that. Nobody gets dumped just like that out of the blue. Nobody wakes up one morning, everything perfect in the relationship, and then gets dumped just like that out of the blue. Similarly, nobody in a wonderful relationship wakes up one morning and decides to dump their significant other out of the blue, just because they felt like it for no particular reason. It doesn’t work that way.

Have you ever been involved in a relationship where it just went the other direction, and you always think about what it was like the first three months or the first six months?
It seems like in the first three to six months of a relationship, you actually do things for the other person. You make nights special. You light candles for each other. You make sure nights are romantic. You make love for hours instead of minutes.

Do you seem to attract cheaters like the United States Government attracts debt?
