*rueLoveCoach's profile:

My training is in Marriage and Family Therapy and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in the state of Texas, where I was in practice for over 15 years.

Recently, I moved to California, so I am not currently practicing as a therapist although my license is current and I plan to keep it up to date. Currently, I work as a Relationship Coach, offering my services of both individualized and group coaching by phone to people all across the nation.

I love helping people learn how to have happy, fulfilled relationships by teaching them the tools and strategies to attract and keep the love of their lives. I specialize in working with Singles and I also work with many couples both in the past and present. I enjoy writing about relationships and I have several newsletters for Singles and Couples, as well as articles on Ezine Articles and my blogs.

I am glad to have found this site. I like to give back by giving people my thoughts about their relationship situations. I hope to be helpful.

I was a young widow to a man with whom I had a very happy relationship. I know a lot about grief and loss, believe me. I am currently a newlywed, having remarried a man who meets my Requirements for a healthy, happy relationship. Together we enjoy Salsa dancing, reading (both fiction and self-improvement), going to workshops, going to the beach, and just spending time together talking about what matters to us most.

What is so attractive about the bad boys?

Q.   I'm perplexed at the number of women who tell me they want a man who is nice to them, but in reality, the men they are attracted to and form relationships with are "bad boys." Then they spend their time complaining about how the bad boy behaves and ...

A.   13 June 2009: Thanks, Older Sister. Great, well-thought out, insightful answer. The "nice guys" I deal with have a tendency to see things in black and white, thinking that the only solution to attracting women is to be "jerks" instead of learning some sk... (read in full...)

A.   13 June 2009: Dear Daniel, Yes, yes, yes to "It seems that "bad boys" seem secure of themselves, capable of getting things done, and sexually assertive, while the other guys are hardly a challenge." I also noticed that many men ask this question on this... (read in full...)

A.   13 June 2009: I think what's making it difficult to advise you is that I'm not sure what you are asking. You've known your partner for 26 years but he won't introduce you to his family or friends. How long have you been together? From the way you write, this ... (read in full...)

A.   1 June 2009: Dear Anonymous, ArmyMedic is right. This question is a valid one, but can probably be answered better medically or in another forum. I will tell you that my late husband was plagued with sleep paralysis for many years and what he described was... (read in full...)

Is it ok to start dating before a divorce has been finalized?

Q.   If one spouse is unfaithful to the other in marriage, when is it right for the honest one to date? Is okay when they have decided in thier heart they do not want to continue with the marriage, but are still married or when they finalize the divorce?...

A.   1 June 2009: Dear Anonymous: A word of caution. If you are simply dating for fun, no problem, although that is very hard for women to do, since we tend to fall quickly for someone we like. If you want to date to find someone to share your life with, ... (read in full...)

A.   29 May 2009: Dear Anonymous, If I had a nickel for every time I heard this expression, I'd be rich. It's one that tends to grate on me, since what I read into it is that the person who says it "loves" in a platonic/friendship way, but not in a romantic... (read in full...)

Q.   I've been dating a girl for a month and we had a great time but she is leaving in a year and a half so she says she doesn't want to commit to me, so she only wants to be friends, so we don’t get hurt later on. I can understand that but I can't be ...

A.   29 May 2009: Dear Adrian77, It appears that this girl is not attracted to you. If she were, the year and a half would not be a factor. Instead, it is an excuse. I'm afraid she sees you as a "nice guy" and wants to relegate you to the friendship category... (read in full...)
