Dear Dating Coach,
Everywhere I have moved, people immediately tell me there are no available men. When I moved to Oregon at the age of 32 for graduate school, I was immediately told by the local women that there were no men in the town. Then I moved to Seattle two years later and was told it's really a couples town and the locals aren't friendly.

Later I lived in New York City where the problems of single women are legendary, followed by a move to Connecticut where I was told the state was filled with families and married folks.

Now that I'm living in Spain, my Spanish teacher tells me that all her friends lament the shortage of men!

My question to you is, how do I deal with hearing that there are no men, wherever it is I'm living? I refuse to move to Alaska and I've never once lived in a place where people said, "Boy, are you lucky! This place is crawling with great, available guys!"

Thanks,
Missing Kisses
