I have also been "there" as well in most cases.
I am planning to pursue counseling/ministry.
I recently had a non-question post, which was rather rude along the lines of "do you really think one counseling course makes you feel qualified. I have been reading your responses and you are WAY off. You have to stop this, this is a profession not a lonely hearts club to make you feel good about yourself." They were creative and used name as questioner. Well, a polite answer to this is a simple no. I am doing this to help others, gain more knowledge, etc and I plan on pursuing this field. There is a notice in the disclaimer that not all volunteers are "certified". I am not "running a lonely hearts club to make myself feel good." Everyone has their own opinions and interprets things differently. Some may not like it while others will appreciate it.
Question I am a beautiful, intelligent, successfull, funny 36 year old woman. My problem is men. I haven't had a date in the last 3 years, and before that I was married to my second husband for 7 years. So practically I haven't dated EVER!! I don't smoke, or drink, so I don't hang out on bars. I've been having some sexual encounters with some acquaintances, but never a real relationship. Do i have to settle down for that and just give up on having a normal relationship (dating, going to movies, etc.)?
Answer Hello Pilly,
How are you today? I hope you're well and all is well. I understand what you're going through. I'm so sorry to hear that your marriage never worked out. I'm sure you will find someone. That guy is out there somewhere. The only thing that I can suggest to you is to do what your heart is telling you. :) I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me at anytime.
