Coach jack answers questions for: Singles

Coach jack, Yesterday our session was very
powerful and it set me up in strength for the rest of
the week. I so needed that strength. The week
went from bad to worse, and because of our time
together I was able to understand it and allow the
lessons of the week to inform me and inspire me
forward. Pretty intense!!! Thank you Jack, Thank
you God! Thank you God within Jack....WOW WOW

Dear Coaches,
I’m 36 and broke up with my fiancée 3 months ago – her decision. In
retrospect, I’m glad things turned out this way because I really don’t think she
was right for me. We were together for 2 years. I haven’t dated anyone since
then, but instead have focused on my job and spending time with my friends. I
think I’m ready to date again – tired of being alone and miss being close with
someone. I want to get married and start a family, but when I think about
starting over again, it seems like too much work.
I don’t want to get dragged through all of the emotions and “stuff” again. I
guess it seems like one big daunting task. While not typically my style, I
thought I would ask for some advice. How do you know when you’re ready to
date again? What should I do to avoid getting into something that just isn’t
right? I just don’t have the bandwidth to go down a wrong path – again. What
do you think?
Roberto from Raleigh
Coach Jack responds …
WOW! – HOO-RAH and WOW! First, you looked for the positive in your break-
up and the positive has set you free. Taking time for yourself with work and
family is a great way to recover yourself. Second, and this is the really great
news, you didn’t run out and jump into a new relationship.
You have given yourself a wonderful gift – THE POWER OF CHOICE! The
next step is to put your power of being the chooser to work. The best way I
can think of doing this is to employ a Relationship Coach. Immerse yourself in
the Conscious Dating Relationship Success Training for Singles program and
move forward with a sense of confidence, and optimism. Get to know yourself
and who and what you want in a relationship and GO FOR IT!
How will you know when it’s time to date again? Roberto, it may not be so
much a matter of timing as it is being present to your emotional health and
feelings. You have taken steps to heal the past. You are asking questions,
looking for a new and better way to re-enter the dating arena.
You have earned my admiration (and I suspect that of many others) through
writing your letter, and by your willingness to express your pain and misgivings
about starting over once more. You’ve proved that men hurt, too. More
important, you’ve set a path for other men to follow. Lead on!

Being single is to be celebrated, not cursed. Pressure from
parents and peers might make it seem otherwise. Self
pressure is formidable when attempting to create
relationships; albeit family, friends, or romantic. Temporary
or long term, relationships can be stressful. Help is no more
than a phone call or e-mail away. Feel free to contact us
with your relationship questions or situations.
As you've probably heard before, "no question is a dumb
question." This is especially true where new relationships
are concerned. Don't be embarrassed, and don't hesitate to
ask a question. Replies are sent directly to you and are not
