The Prescription
Welcome to My Dating Prescription. This is how this all began... I'm sitting cross-legged on my therapist's couch 4 months after my husband's announcement that he wants a divorce when my therapist informs me that he thinks I should start dating again.
Seriously??
I had told myself and others that I was going to take time off to concentrate on myself for once. Between a husband and three boys, I didn't know who I was anymore. I just wanted to hang out with my girlfriends, drink martinis like a fish, and let the hair grow long on my legs if I wanted. I had even gone so far as to announce to my friends that I was going to take a full year off from any kind of relationship.

Flora M. Brown, PhD.
It has come to pass. I am a dating expert. I go to parties, people find out that I write a dating blog, and I spend the rest of the night talking about dating.
I am also a Wizpert. You can find the Wizpert button in the sidebar of this blog.
Now, I’m doing Blog Talk Radio interviews. Dr. Flora M. Brown of Color Your Life Happy interviewed me this morning. Check out “A Dating Prescription May be Just What the Doctor Ordered.” I’d love to get your comments and questions, and as usual, feel free to tell me that you think I’m full of shit if the mood strikes you.
Alternatively, this will make a great drinking game. Get a group of friends together; listen to my radio interview; and drink every time I say the word, “um.” You should be plastered in no time.
Cheers!

congrats!
Thanks!
Very interesting interview. I really liked the way the interview flowed so well.
Thanks. I thought that part worked well too. I guess Flora has been doing this for about four years, so she’s really good at the whole process.
That’s great! Congratulation!
Actually, i would add another rule to the drinking game: drink every time you say “I think.” Why would I mention that? Because I’ve read and learned that many people, especially many women, unintentionally weaken the impact of the things that say with qualifiers like “I think”, “Maybe”, “I could be wrong but…”. Don’t apologize. Say what’s on your mind. We all know it’s what you think or you wouldn’t have said it. Rock those interviewers long and strong!
But honestly, great job on the interview. Good first outing of many to come.
You’re right. When I listen to this interview, I hear things I would normally catch if it was something I was writing, and it makes me cringe at my bad grammar too. “I think” and “I believe” are normally words I edit out of my writing for the very reason you mention. Plus, in a way, to say “I think” is redundant. Of course, I think that; I’m writing it. I will definitely be more conscious of this in the future and try to eliminate it when it pops up.
