Heck I am often told that you need to love yourself first, because if you cant even do that how would you love others? So in that way his advice would give him a better understanding on who he is, what he likes and what he wants in a relationship. After that he could have taken Berts advice and choose a hobby (which he would have found by knowing what he wants) and there he might have found a person he liked..but in the end just going out and doing something else other than work will probably give him a better chance.
He did have a handle on what he wants in life, just not what kind of person he would want to be with. What he lacked is experience, not finding himself.
