Jill, welcome to the program.

Hi, Dr Laura, thanks for taking my call.

Thank you.

So I wanted to tell you first me my mom and my sister were huge fans. I've been listening to you in the car since I was a kid

But I'd say I'd only really heard you for the last saying. So my background is also a story of

how you've helped me and why I'm grateful you do this on the radio.

I'm a recovered Jacob honey. I was with my ex-boyfriend for four years, shocking for two, and I heard a call that you said that a man who won't marry you

and lay down his life for you but will still take all the benefits from you

is a man who doesn't really respect you.

So I actually talked to him and it was very clear that was the case,

so I ended up leaving.

So I wanted to thank you for that.

But that was, yeah, that was two years ago and I now find myself I'm a 33 am single and these

last two years I've probably gone on about 15 first dates, a couple second dates, and I'm having trouble kind of

connecting with these guys. They're mostly good on paper, but I just haven't felt that connection

that someone would have that romantic connection and I was

hoping maybe you could give me a different person.

How are you able to find so many guys?

So a couple set up through friends and friend coworker and then also the online dating, the apps, you know, like Bumble and those apps online.
