Written by Tina B. Tessina
Dear Dr. Romance:
You give good advice and I really like the articles you have here. I wish I could apply it to my life. I have married and divorced twice and i always tell myself "I don't know how to choose a man".
But is it the man or me who is wrong? I don't know. Now, I have a new relationship and I am afraid to lose again this time. Can you tell me what to do?
Dear Reader:
Thanks for letting me know enjoyed the articles. There are many articles there that can help you, like "Keys to a Happy Relationship"; "Couples Can Cooperate for Success"; and "Creating Unconditional Love" which will help you and your new partner develop a successful relationship. "You be the Judge" gives you a way to make sure you have a good man.

Dr. Venus Nicolino: You Have To Make Yourself Available To Find Good Relationships
