(Original Air Date: 12/06/05) It's Dr. Phil after dark! Dr. Phil is having a champagne party - with an audience full of single men and women looking to meet Mr. and Ms. Right. Using his new book, Love Smart: Find the One You Want - Fix the One You Got, Dr. Phil teaches these singles how to be smart when it comes to love and relationships, and how to "bag 'em, tag 'em and take 'em home!" Noelle says she's a horrible dater and never gets called back for date number two. Dr. Phil sends her out with a man and critiques her technique. How is she sending the wrong message? Then, a beauty queen who never thought she would still be single at 37 says her biological clock is "gonging!" Does this mean she'll put up with just about anything? Dr. Phil puts her to the test. And, three single women who are looking for love in all the wrong places want Dr. Phil to help them find Mr. Right. See what happens when they participate in revolving dates while Dr. Phil coaches them through an earpiece. Whether you can't find a good candidate, can't close the deal, or get them home and realize they aren't who you thought they were -- you are about to earn your black belt in relationships! Talk about the show here.


Find out what happened on the show.

okay..from the other side

Okay...my first time ever watching dr phil, and it did make me go check out his website....i am a 32 year old male. I am watching the show going...umm...I am a good person, a caring person. Where can i meet some one like Jo-Anne?? I want someone to share my life with, and some one to grow with. It isnt any easier being a guy, and in some ways it is harder. Seems like so many women get involved with the bad guy or the jerks..and they dont give the nice guys the time of day!

so what do you do

Quote From: denicel74

Yeah, well, I'm in a similar situation as these ladies. I'm 31, single for almost 8 years. I've been told that I am intimidating. A married gentleman friend of mine told me that I am "the package" meaning "smart, beautiful, hilarious, down to earth" and that that "package" makes me intimidating to men. Which is probably why I've had 2 dates in that 8 years. Both of which relationships I pulled out of because of other reasons. One was a non motivated college grad and the other was just too negative and hung up on his ex. I've given my phone number probably close to a dozen times to other men but never received a phone call. I do however, have alot of men friends. I think most of my problem is that I'm very guarded and I'm not sure how to get rid of this "fence". I have this feeling that I'll meet him but at my age, I'm starting to feel my biological clock tick.
to go out of your way to meet a new person? As a man...I am looking for a person to share my life with...but it is not easier to meet new people.

03/31 Love Smart, Part 1

I love what Dr Phil said about how you don't stop dating just because you are married.

It gave me a lot to think about, that one little statement gave me a lot to think about when it comes to how my husband and I view eachother on a daily basis. There are days when we don't even hug. We love each other, but we are both busy and we put that stuff on the back burner.

Any other married's get thinking about that?

I am married many years and I tell my husband that I love him every day.  Life is too short and unpredictable not to do this!   

  

Take time to talk, laugh together and enjoy things together. You don't have to necessarily leave home to have a "date" with your spouse!

even dozon

Quote From: evendozen

I have an 18 year old granddaughter. She is thinking of looking for Mr. Right. She is starting college in the fall. Where are some safe and good places for her to start meeting young men? She is very intelligent and is ambitous , besides being a very loving, thoughtful, and caring person, so naturally she wants to meet someone who has these same qualities.

well at school, church, friends, maybe her new job :) 

NOT BARS AND THE MIN SHE FEELS SOMETHING WEIRD WATCH  AND IF IT IS LEAVE.......DONT BE LIKE ME....DONT PUT HER WHOLE HEART INTO IT TILL SHE KNOW AND EVERYONE FEELS IT TOO......HOPE THAT HELPS!!!! I AM 33 WITH BAD PAIN AND IT HURTS............

The plight of the educated black woman

I have watched the Dr. Phil show many times, but none ever moved me to come to the website as this one.  Here is the saga of my social life. I am  black, single mother of two beautiful kids. After  10 year relationship, I am looking for what I term the man that is "perfect for me". I have tried internet dating, and have met  some men, but  so often there is this impasse. I am currently pursuing my Phd and after evaluating myself, I realize that there are a few things that are critical to me: breadth and depth of knowledge which mostly comes with being educated, and a sense of self, that is someone who has done some deep thinking and has found his life's purpose.  I find that these qualities in one package is a rarity within the African American community. So many of the opposite sex tell me that I am great, wonderful, outgoing, fun , and funny, but then are intimidated by my academic achievement and future aspirations. I have heard similar stories from female friends.So, I am wondering is Mr."perfect for me " out there????

I JUST STARTED WATCHING

Quote From: jmmjhm

I just LOVE Dr. Phil and Robin, and have even been in the audiance, but some of the recent shows have been a "stretch".  I remember years back, I wouldn't miss an Oprah show and now rarly watch her.  I still think that she is a wonderful person, I just don't like her show.  I am hoping that this doesn't happen with the Dr. Phil show.  I, personally, don't like a lot of frivolity on the show and think that Dr. Phil should stick with being Dr. Phil.  I do understand that it is hard to do a good show 5 days a week and make it interesting and something that all will like.  I just happen to think that in the beginning of the shows, it was a lot more interesting finding out about people and how Dr. Phil could help them out.  Now, it seems like it is more of a "show" and sometimes silly and not my taste.  I know that you can't please all the people all of the time, but wish that the shows would get back to the way they were in the begining.
HOW WAS IT IN THE BEGINGING??

Should I or When do you tell someone this?

  

  

Hi... 

  

 I have two questions for everyone.  When do I reveal a chronic illness?  In all honesty it doesnt effect me much, however it can cause problems having children.  The other question..is when in a relationship do you reveal a history of a rape? It doesn't effect my sex life now. I've dealt with it..Is this something a guy would want to know?  

  

Thanks 

  

M.

I WAS ALSO RAPED BY A BOYFRIEND

Quote From: lilreun

i broke off my engagement back in december 05 after being engaged to someone for 31/2 years of listening to mama don't want us to get married until 06 or she don't want us to live together before marriage but it was okay for him  to want sex and not tie the knot  

a tip for men looking for a great woman : DON'T listen to mama  follow your heart and severe the umbilical cord you are attached to  

my ex was so consumed with the idea i was cheating on him he hacked into my private yahoo messenger and emails and printed off 59 pages of conversations i had with people even those with my mother and just recently he raped me and doesn't consider what he done rape and that we should try to work things out even after we split he refused to move out of my house i don't honestly know how to deal with my anger and frustration especially since the rape i have to see him everyday and see him behave like nothing is wrong and be forced to face him until i can move back to missouri in 3 weeks  

HE THOUGHT IT WAS OK BUT I WAS SEEING SOMEONE AND HE WALKED INTO MY PARENTS HOUSE I FEEL UR PAIN...BUT ITS BEEN YRS AND I DONT REMEMBER IT MUCH BUT MENTALLY ITS THERE I WISH I WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING BESIDES TRY TO KILL MYSELF.......I WONT BORE U WITH IT ANYMORE BUT I COULD HAVE REPORTED IT AND JUST HAD ON RECORD BUT I DIDNT UNDERSTAND ALL THAT I WAS 18 IF U CAN JUST FILE DO AND GET SOME HELP CUZ ITS RALLY BITTING ME NOW AND IT IS PHYSICALLY HURTING ME TOO.
