Master Communicator Series sounds particularly interesting.
Could you give us a date when it will be released approximately?

guys can anyone help me
in school theres this girl and we have talked we were the best of friends until she told me that she liked me. I then asked her out and she said no because she was confuzed. So then after all she told me we should be friends. The thing is that I still can’t get over it and I feel like I should tell her how I feel. The thing is should I tell her or just keep it to myself and hope to start fresh??

Thank you Kimberly! The thing is, while my kids are older. The youngest will be 19 in May. We are all very close, and the two boys are still living with me, and one of them is a little slower to mature than my daughter and younger son. We were going to see Push, not too long ago, and I thought I’d ask Obiri to go with us, but knowing how the boys feel about their dad just expecting them to be part of his new family, I asked first. The youngest was okay with it, but my older son, who will be 21 this Sunday, was like eeew! I don’t wanna hang out with a dude who’s trying to make time with my Mom! I had to laugh! My kids were all accidents but I really wanted them, and still adore them…and they’re really functional on their very own, it’s just that even if I were totally alone, I’d still be incredibly busy until June, and needing to plan things out, and I just have a problem with men who seem to think I should drop everything to hang out with them.

I find that being direct and open with your thoughts and emotions is always the best policy. It lets the other person know how your feeling about something. It is also a good assessment tool for how a person handles different emotions and situations and if they are sensitive to your needs. So when you tell someone your feelings about something, does he or she then change his behavior next time to show you that he/she cares?

Bertie–I can really relate to your situation being a busy, working single mom myself. The biggest thing is that you are open to these guys about your time. If they are too needy of your time and cannot respect your position then it is not the right guy for you!

Joe- if you don’t have anything else to say about the subject its a great time to get curious about the subject with that person, that way you can learn about something new, and become a more well rounded person.

what you usually do when you don’t have anything to say, do you leave the conversation or do you persist and get curious….?

Great to hear David.. Meeting ppl is a small first step to getting a fulfilling relationship.. I’m a great first date, it’s about 3 mos in that things tend to fall apart… Like you said in previous blogs communication is great but you can reveal too much too soon as well.. so it’s not that easy as just bare your soul…

Some ideas that are of interest to me…
- When/How to have the conversation about exclusivity (especially with online dating, when to take the profile down,etc)
- How do you express enough emotion to let the other person know your interested but not freak them out…
- Frequency and modes of communication (how to break out of txting hell, etc)..

Thanks!!

I think communication is important… but in a self disclosure way. You want to truly open yourself and let people know what you think, who you are… for who you are.

You shouldn’t have to “self-present” yourself… in ways to make people only see the good sides in you. That’s not REAL communication.

If you only communicate to “self present”… then the other person never gets to see you for the great person you are.

All so true. Looking forward to the new concentration on communication skills. Hope that it will also include some tips for flushing one’s BS pre-conceived notions and sterotypes.

I’m very good at breaking the ice, and i have no problem talking to random people. However keeping the conversation light fun and flowing is not my strong point. I try to listen to what they say, but sometimes i just don’t have anything else to say about the subject
