The Two Questions I Keep Getting Asked

Apr 26, 2012

I’ve been blogging for three years, and I am still baffled at the fact that thousands of people ask me the same question over and over again.
My dating advice readers–primarily women in their twenties and thirties–want to know: Will he come back?
 
This blows my mind, because they are often asking this question by leaving a comment on my blog post titled “Your Confused Boyfriend Will Come Back.” Honey, I just said he will come back! How much clearer can you get than that?!
With my admissions coaching clients–primarily men aged 23-30–the one question that I get asked by every single client I’ve ever had is:

Reflections on a Global Culture of Unworthiness

They called me back for a second audition on camera for the producers, and then I never heard from them again. I was disappointed, and really confused. I craved feedback, but also didn’t take the step to ask for any.
I’m loathe to admit it, but somewhere deep inside, I felt a sense of vindication when just a few months later, rumors started circulating that OWN was struggling. Maybe if they had a fresh, new voice, people would watch, I thought scornfully. It’s an ugly and small-minded way to think, I know, but it’s really how I felt.
