General Dating Questions/Expert Profile

Expertise

I can answer any general relationship / dating questions.

Experience in the area

I used to work as a counselor in a hospital part time for 15 years (16-32 hours a week) and my job was listening to patients who had relationship problems and giving them advice to help them cope with depression, suicidal behavior and thoughts, loss of a relationship or marriage, sexual issues and diseases, unwanted pregnancy, infidelity, abusive relationships, interracial relationships, prostitution, rape, drug addiction, alcohol addiction and abuse etc. I am very inquisitive and ask alot questions on various subjects, which has made me quite knowledgeable in general. I also have read many books on relationships and dating and if I do not know the answer to a question I will research it until I find the correct answer opposed to just pretending that I know about something that I do not. I have also had alot of friends, co-workers and even strangers tell me their problems and expect a sincere and candid answer because I am told that I appear to be a person that can be trusted and I am.

Education/Credentials

Past/Present Clients

I like helping people.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

At times in all healthy relationships there will be disagreements. Often people think if they had a good relationship they would always agree but no two people agree on everything. Communication and the ability to compromise with each other is very important in any relationship.
