Why You Love People Who Can’t Love You Back
Question: I respect your advice but I believe that "you can't love another person until you love yourself" mumbo jumbo is misguided and I think creates more problems in relationships than it solves. The whole point of being in a relationship is to love the other person. That love is not supposed to be directed at yourself but toward the person you [...]

Playing hard to get -- which some of us love to do and which in my humble opinion every man and woman should at least do or know how to do -- is a relationship dynamic based of the Law of Scarcity. The Law of Scarcity says, “scarcity determines the value of an item” meaning that, items are more valuable to us when their availability is [...]
Why She Doesn’t Want To Talk To You
One of my very favourite pastimes is watch people interact with each other. The other day, I was at a party and saw this really gorgeous woman flash an enticing smile in the direction on a group of guys looking at her as she walked in. A few minutes later, a well-dressed guy, a drink in hand, sauntered over to the woman and said “Hi”. I was [...]
Do Guys Lose Interest If You Reveal Too Much?
Question: I read your blog: The "Rules" and Playing Dating Mind Games. While I agree with some things you say, I do not think that women should be open and forthcoming in the first few dates. I’ve been out on great first few dates with a number of great guys but nothing that lasted for more than 3- 4 dates. The last guy I went out with was [...]
Will Playing Hard Make You More Interesting?
Question: I wanted to buy your eBook but hesitated. I'm a pretty straight forward guy not much for playing games. If I want something I ask for it plain and simple, and I expect that if she wants something from me, she should straight out ask. Don't expect me know what the hell you want if you don't tell me. But may be this is why at 39, good [...]
That Special Connection You Had With Your Ex
"We looked into each other's eyes and made a connection" "We had a special connection, it's like we knew each other" "I've never felt anything like this with anyone else" "He/she is like nobody I have ever met" These are some o the words many of my clients use to describe the relationship they had with their ex -- and I believe them [...]
Why Nothing You Do To Fix Your Relationship Is Working
Love is not supposed to hurt and relationships were never designed for us to suffer or struggle. But why do many of us struggle with relationships? When you fall in love, you want to believe that a loving connection will always be present in your relationship. You want the good times to last forever, but when the other person does not [...]
Communication Secret That’ll Get Back Your Ex!
Your goal if you're trying to get back your ex should be to help your ex see how important -- and valuable -- your relationship was and is and want it - again. But communicating this to an ex can sometimes be like going to the dentist - you don't know what to expect once you get there, but you almost always assume that the process will be [...]
Why Won’t She Just Let Me Go?
Last night, I had a brief but interesting chat with a gentleman who approached me after hearing me introduced as a Love Doctor. “I wonder if you can help me with my situation” he said drawing me aside. "It's about a woman I've been seeing on and off for the last four years". For 20-or-so- minutes he told me about the woman he loves. The [...]
Should I Stop Contact To Give My Ex Space?
Question: Hi Love Doctor, my ex and I broke up in May due to what she calls my trying too hard to make her love me. She said she loved me but was not sure if she wanted to be with me because I’ve never made her want me. She felt suffocated and wanted some time away from me. To give her the space she wanted, I went “no contact” for 6 weeks. [...]
