Ask Todd!

I am here for Dating and Friends

About Me

I am "Bachelor Todd" seen on the Dr Phil show. Since my appearances on the show, I have been bombarded with questions from women on relationships and what it means when my boyfriend does or says something. So I set up this site to focus just on that. Ask Todd what is on your mind.In case you missed the Dr Phil episodes, I was first recruited by the Dr Phil producers to go on dates to see what the women were doing wrong. It was all focused around helping the girl refine her dating skills to find the man she wanted, and keep the man she found. The date was taped, Dr Phil would evaluated the problems, and then coach the women on her dating skills. I was then a part of "Love Smart Island" with two other Bachelors. Chad, Kevin, and I spent 4 days together, 3 of them on Catalina Island with 18 wonderful women who we all respected. Within the days on "Love Smart Island," one-on-one dates and group dates were arranged in our giant dating experiment. We all learned a lot about dating, interacting, ourselves, and each other.See this site for the CBS Early Show segment on "Love Smart Island."http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/02/10/earlyshow/ leisure/celebspot/main1304419.shtmlWhat is my dating background? Aside from dating for many years, I was engaged last year to a woman I was really dedicated to. We experienced problems from her past that haunted the present. The fear won in the end when one day she left, changed her phone numbers, blocked my email, and mailed my belongings to my sister's house never to be heard from or seen again. I tried many ways to connect with her, but have none have worked. While we were together, I read many books, we talked to a couple of therapists and I found this wonderful weekend relationship getaway using the IMAGO technique. Fantastic weekend teaching the tools needed to communicate and understand each other. It rekindled our relationship. I whole heartingly recommend this weekend. Ask me more about this if you are interested. I was dedicated to finding ways to make my ex-fiancé feel safe in our relationship, but in the end the closer she got to me the more scared she became and it was easier to run away than risk the chance of loosing me. Sad story. Having no closure, Dr Phil coached me on finding myself again and now I am back into the "game" of finding someone special. Along the way I have been exposed to some amazing information and have been helped by one of the greatest positive inspirations of our time, Dr Phil.DISCLAIMER: I am in no way considered a therapist nor have a degree in therapy. I am also not affiliated with the Dr Phil show other than my appearances as "Bachelor Todd." I am extending my experience to help women understand dating and communicating with men. I might use the questions to publish someday but will always keep your identity unknown. By asking me questions, you agree in the terms that I own the right to the question.
