QUESTION: Self-Esteem

Dear Edahn,

I have a problem. A friend of mine has addressed me as a “single loser.” It makes me feel so helpless and lonely. So… Small. What do I do? Maybe I really am a loser?

Sincerely,

Sad single loser

QUESTION: Your Credentials

In this day and age everyone and their dog can start a blog about anything, dating insights included.
Can I get some credentials or references?
How many supermodels have you dated?
Rather, how many supermodels have you kicked to the curb because you didn't want to be tied down?

(Submitted via email by Larry)

Dear Larry,

Lucky for you, my dog has started a blog as well about dating insights. His focus is more about getting bitches than quality females. If you need the address, let me know.

Unfortunately, at this point, I cannot offer a dearth of references, save a few friends here and there who I have helped out in minor ways; however, I don't see how credentials should really impact my advice anyway. You should judge quality based on what I say, not based on third-party evaluations.

Finally, regarding supermodels, I have not dated any. They're not part of my dating pool, and most likely, I'm not part of theirs.

Thanks for your question,
Edahn

POST YOUR QUESTIONS HERE

Post your questions here. Please include your age and gender and try to give me a little background about your problem. Don't just ask "how do I get my mate to commit to me?" but explain why you think your mate won't commit, what you've tried to do already, etc. I will repost your question with your name in a new blog entry along with my answer. Please do not post comments about questions in this thread.

Welcome

Instructions: Post any questions you have in the comments section of post #2. I will start a new entry and answer your question. Feel free to disagree with my advice or ask for clarification or troubleshoot regardless of whether you asked the question or are just observing. No question is too stupid or too weird, because they're all stupid and weird. (Ha.) If you choose to act on my advice, let me know how things go.

In terms of guidelines, I don't have many. Try and be open to whatever advice you receive, from me or from anyone else. I don't care about cursing. Honesty is important, but try and be respectful of others.

My approach is based on stuff I've read, meditations I've done, and reflections on my experience. If you want to know how to get laid, I can offer a few ideas, but my goal here is really more to help you create deep, satisfying, intimate relationships with others and to help you have fun. I started this blog on a whim, after people told me that I give good advice about dating.

Here goes something!
