It's possible to learn necessary relationship skills even without the relationship. Having the relationship is essential for practicing them, but we can all self-improve regardless of our relationship status. It will likely improve the other relationships in our lives--with family, friends, and colleagues.

Some of the men who think they are being ignored in dating even though they have good qualities are often the "nice guys" of dating ... who usually aren't as self-aware and nice as they think they are, and it prevents them from seeing what they're doing to prevent healthy connections. Therapy is a wonderful tool for self-discovery and change.
