If you are sleeping single in a double bed or walking down the street thinking, How do I meet that guy?; if youre on your twentieth date and hes no more committed than when you first exchanged cell phone numbers; if everyone you know is getting married for the second time and you cant even get a first date; if you love the one youre with but the relationship needs some spark...then this book is for you. In Love Smart: Find the One You Want -- Fix the One You Got, Dr. Phil tells people who are dissatisfied with their love lives to stop making excuses -- All the good ones are taken; Im too fat/skinny/boring/unpredictable for anyone to love me; I should stick with the relationship I have, Im not going to do any better -- and start taking action Dr. Phil knows that you deserve a committed relationship, and it is within your control to have the one you want. First, though, you need to determine what you want in a partner, plot your course and get out there and create velocity in your pursuit of a loving connection. The dating world is a vastly new place: meeting people at bars or through friends used to be the only option, but thats not true anymore. Love Smart: Find the One You Want -- Fix the One You Got explores new possibilities, new places to meet people -- including the Internet -- and new activities to get involved in where youll find interesting people. Or if you are simply looking to rekindle the relationship you are already in, Dr. Phil will tell you how to turn up the flame. Love Smart: Find the One You Want -- Fix the One You Got will show you how to stop stumbling through your love life. You will learn to: Present the real you in the mostflattering light. Are you your own best kept secret? Do you fail to show the world how truly fabulous and interesting you are? As Dr. Phil says, you cant fake fabulous. Dont act passive if three months into the relationship youre going to spring your true, opinionated personality on him; dont act wild if you really just want to sip tea with your mate in front of your favorite nighttime drama. Define who you are and then ride that horse Peek behind the male curtain. Knowledge is power, and Dr. Phil tells you things about men that they dont necessarily want you to know -- their deepest needs and fears (yes, they have those, too, though they deny it), and how to decode their words and actions. Master the right moves. Once youve learned to put the best you forward, you need to go to places where youll find interesting people and invite interaction. Dont fade into the wallpaper; get noticed and get involved. If youre already coupled up, learn to grow and nurture what you have and build a more fun, enjoyable and intimate relationship. Bag em, tag em and take em home. Once you put those right moves into action, there will be no stopping you Dr. Phil shows you how to negotiate the relationship you desire and then close the deal with the one you want. Get out of your relationship rut. When you first fell in love, your heart raced just at the thought of him. But the daily grind, money problems, work, etc. have drained the life out of your relationship, and you take each other for granted. That doesnt mean youve fallen out of love. Dr. Phil shows you how to assess the state of your union and take the relationship to a deeper level. Dr. Phil says there are noexceptions: There is somebody for everybody, and everybody deserves a relationship filled with love and excitement. Love Smart: Find the One You Want -- Fix the One You Got offers you the plan to find not just any relationship but the committed, loving, joy-filled relationship youve been waiting for.

Acknowledgments

Robin, you are the culmination of what anyone reading this book would pray for. Our relationship has been the crowning achievement in my life and continues to be to this very day. You have loved me when I have been hard to love, celebrated our love each and every day and mothered our wonderful children. You never, ever stopped being the girl I married even though you have become the woman to whom I am married. In our relationship we have embraced every adventure and have been advocates in each others balcony of life from day one. You taught me about what makes relationships work, and without you I would not be the good parts of the person I am today. Thanks for never complaining about the long hours, solitary book writing and endless challenges. We are just getting started!

Jay and Jordan, thanks for always believing in your dad and being proud of what I do and how I do it. You boys and your mom keep me focused, laughing and feeling good about getting up every day.

And to my mother and father, who unfailingly modeled honoring commitments with fifty-plus years of marriage, I thank you for keeping it together for yourselves as well as for all of us. And especially to my mother for being such a great supporter of me as a husband and father since my fathers death, and such a loving grandmother to our boys. That family relationship bond has had lasting strength as Deana, Donna, Brenda and I have stayed close in our own relationship. And to the three sisters, thanks for spoiling me early and giving me the scoop on girls when I had absolutely no clue. If a mans worth is measured by the love in his family, I am the richest man in the world.

Oprah, thank you for your friendship and for your endless belief and support of my work. You make this world a better place. Your vision for my platform on television and in print has challenged me every day since it began, and I thank you for that. You have made a difference not only in this country, but also in the cradle of humanity by leading by example and living with completeness and honesty.

Thank you to G. Frank Lawlis, Ph.D., who has been my mentor, colleague and friend for thirty years. You have always been there when I needed you and are always willing to help, especially with the most complex, pivotal challenges. Your insight and enthusiasm are absolutely invaluable, and I am grateful for both. Your encyclopedic knowledge of human functioning is also immeasurable.

And to Scott Madsen, who always merits mention: As usual, you have dedicated your days, nights and weekends when you had plenty of other places to be. You have never uttered the word no and for that I give you my deepest appreciation. Thanks for always being there for me and mine over the last thirty-five years. When I go head down and tail up on projects such as this one, you always keep all the fires burning.

Thank you also to Bill Dawson. You are a mind among minds and a trusted and valued friend. Your support on the business and personal front for the last fifteen-plus years has meant and does mean more than you can imagine. Our conversations across the endless hours on everything from religion to Emma the pup are a great refuge. Thanks for always having my back on every front.

If ever there was a crew to have by your side it is the one with me day in and day out. Terri Wood, Carla Pennington, Kandi Amelon and Angie Kraus, you have all been relentlessly committed to making Dr. Phil the TV show live up to our internal challenge of creating the best hour on television and the highest and best use of the medium. There isnt anything that cant be accomplished with the Four Tops in your corner! Then there is the worlds premier publicist and bad boy himself, Chandler Hayes. You are my eyes and ears, and I couldnt walk the walk without you. Thanks for believing so deeply in what we do.

A huge thank you also to Carolyn Reidy, Dominick Anfuso and the Simon & Schuster/Free Press group for always believing in the importance of my message. Your passion in making sure that the words contained herein make it into every pair of hands in America is deeply appreciated.

To Jan Miller and Shannon Miser-Marven, my agents at Dupree/Miller, your passion for my message over the years has been continually uplifting. You two are my literary feminine side, and you make my books so much better because of your hard and tireless work, not to mention making them be on time! Your entire team, including Alia Brinkman, Jennifer Holder, Annabelle Baxter and Nena Madonia with their all important research and organization made this book possible, made it fun and ensured its relevance.

Thank you to Leah Furman, Michele Bender and Bill Kelley, who brought their unique talents to this project. Your involvement was essential, and because of your dedication and work, this book is improved. You were true professionals in every sense of the word, and for that I am grateful.

True Love is the only heart disease that is best left to run onthe only affection of the heart for which there is no help, and none desired.

MARK TWAIN, NOTEBOOK

Peopleyou, me, all of usare pretty much social animals. Left to our own devices, we tend to seek one anothers companymentally, physically, spiritually. You can put a small number of people in a large space, and in a short time they will cluster, seeking to see, hear and touch one another.

Just being around other people doesnt seem to be enough. On the day-to-day level, we, as human beings, tend to pair off seeking more than to just hang out with random bipeds. We seem to need to fall in love, be in love and share love. Since we all seem to kind of want the same things, you would think it would be relatively easy to pair up and meet each others mutual needs. But have you ever noticed that the smarter and more sophisticated we become, the harder we seem to make those parts of our life that should be the easiest? I have people tell me all the time that for some reason, they just cant seem to find another human being who is willing to share the two little words we and us, let alone put their boots under their bed and start filing joint tax returns. They tell me that they just cant get a date and if they do, its either with some mouth-breather they hope they never see again or a decent guy who wont call back, either because he doesnt want to or is afraid his wife might find out. As a result, they just sit around watching the drapes fade.

As a few excerpts from your e-mails and letters show, at least most of you are keeping a sense of humor:
