Dear Janice: I am a woman who recently went to a singles event where the conversation
eventually got to “whose fault is it that singles can't get married?” The women blame
the men for being too commitment phobic, for example, and the men blame the women for looking
only for a good meal ticket (for example). What do you think is the problem, and what do you think
is the solution? Marcia
Dear Marcia: You bring up a very important question that I can only really begin to answer. I
don’t think that it's the fault of any gender specifically. While one may witness “tendencies,”
I think it unfair to make a hard and fast rule that blames one gender or the other.

In my work as a dating and relationship coach over the past 2-3 years, I’ve heard
about many obstacles keeping singles from becoming couples. But what I’ve found to be a
common thread amongst the obstacles is the overall lack of self knowledge. And this is what
I’ve been attempting to tackle through my live lectures, virtual teleclasses, newsletters and
direct coaching services. In my “Know Yourself” article, I talk about this issue by
stating that knowing who you are and where you’re headed in life are essential to knowing
where and how to search for a soulmate. . . and especially how to recognize him/her when you’re dating.
So my challenge to singles is this: think about and ask yourself NOW these questions: What
are my strengths? What are my limitations? What do I have to offer in a relationship? What are my
goals in life? What is important to me? What matters to me? Having this information about
helps you to determine “Who am I and where am I headed?” and “Who
could make the best partner for me?”
