I struggled for several days about how to write this column. In the comments of my column nearly every week, someone will ask “how can we better help the singles?” Today, I'd like to take the chance to point out where we are failed, and how everyone could do better. It is a topic I have wanted to write about, but have worried about writing for fear of offending others with my brute honesty (although I do try and be bluntly honest in each column I do write).
