 Dr. DianaSeptember 07 Do You Have Dating Anorexia?You'll do anything other than looking for a partner online—watch mindless TV, clean the bathroom, read your junk email, or even call your mother. You freeze up and question yourself over and over when it comes time to meet someone for coffee, to make the next call, date or move on to the first kiss. Sound familiar? Well it's all too common, especially if you’re a freshly minted single person. When you find it hard or even impossible to date, even though you’re lonely and hungry for a romantic connection, you have what I call Dating Anorexia. Actually most singles have at least a touch of Dating Anorexia. We experience fears that stop us dead in our tracks—instead of saying hello to the cute guy on the train or the hot girl who works in the office we get tongue-tied and run the other way. When it comes time to find a photo for our profile, we see nothing but pimples, warts and just how big our nose really is. We write and rewrite our emails to prospective partners, trying to be more clever, more real, more funny or more whatever that mysterious quality is that attracts a cool partner. And when we’re on a date with a good-looking (make that threateningly hot) partner, we get tongue-tied or start babbling the stupidest stuff in the world. But there is hope. First, realize you're not alone--most of the singles you meet have been through this. Second, you have to understand that falling flat on your face is part of the process of getting out there. It's OK to sound stupid, look unattractive or ridiculous. You need to start biting off small chunks--forcing yourself to write the email, no matter what is sounds like, daring to smile at that hot person walking down the street. And opening your mouth to say something, anything. If you see someone you like, say anything. Anything at all. And once you jump in, you'll be surprised at what happens. Just do it
August 29 Five Signs You Are Ready for a Relationship=)Getting back to my Boot Camp duties, here are five signs you are ready for a relationship: ~You actually like the person you see in the mirror most of the time. ~You've made the decision that your cat is not enough and you sincerely want a love relationship. ~ You're negotiating with the boogy men inside that hold your heart captive in fear. At least you're talking to those inner boogie men about the scary things they say about keeping yourself safe and closed off to love. ~You've dated a variety of frogs, princes & court jesters and can be comfortable being real on a date. ~In a fight you can climb out of yourself to see things from the other person’s point of view. Dr. Diana August 27 Godzilla I’ve been ruminating of course. After hearing that Love in 90 Days Boot Camp was going to be shown at the Directors Guild Theater, all I can imagine are the Godzilla -sized parts of my anatomy up there on the big screen. Ah, when does the all-about-what’s-wrong-with-me ever end? I’m looking through my Boot Camp Manual right now. Ah, right here on page 135A in a footnote to a footnote, it says: “Work on feeling your sabotaging thought fully, really feeling how awful it is, and then letting it go, kind of like a barbed arrow in a bow that you pull all the way back toward you and then let loose. The all-about-what’s-wrong-with-me thought will fade away in the distance so that it does not ruin your happiness. But it never completely disappears.” Who made up these emotional rules? I want to know.
