In Search Of My Final First Date

In Search Of My Final First Date©
It’s what the majority of singles are seeking — the end of the dating game and the beginning of a lasting relationship. We explore every avenue that sounds promising, while at the same time we tire of putting forth such effort. The use of internet dating sites becomes a part time job. Blind dates turn into interviews. The whole process of finding a soul mate starts to take on a clinical feel. Yet, what alternative is there? Read more

Complicated?
I was on my Facebook today and noticed under Relationship Status there was an option for “It’s Complicated.” Which lead me to the thought of why not “I’m Complicated!” and while we are at it lets toss some more in the mix…I’m not perfect!
Wouldn’t it be nice if we all came with warning labels? “High Maintenance, Fears Commitment, Co-Dependent, Momma’s Boy, Jealous Tendencies etc.” Imagine being on a first date and being able to see that person’s true authentic self. No games, no hidden agendas’ just the real person. We could decide right there if we were interested in a second date. Read more
eHarmony ~ A Social Experiment
As a matchmaker I am always curious as to what others in the industry are doing. I have heard a lot about most of the popular dating sites out there and have always been intrigued as to why so many people have told me they have been rejected by eHarmony. In efforts to understand this I spent about 30 minutes completing their profile questions about me personally to see how accurately their matching would work. Read more
Men and the Dreaded Pull Back Phase

How to tell if this is Normal or If He’s Just Not into You
You are trucking along fine. You’ve met a great guy. He’s calling all the time.
You go out and things are marvelous! You tell all your friends about the great new guy you’re dating. You even start to think of him as your boyfriend. Then all of the sudden, he stops calling. Or, he tells you to call him and he is suddenly busy. Read more
Rant from a 30 something…
What works for you in your 20’s could be your relationship demise in your 30’s…
Dating in your thirties, I feel is different then dating in your twenties, or your teens. Well of course you say, its uncharted territory, and ever changing with time. We are ever changing with time. We grow, we become more knowledgeable, sometimes more jaded.
Finding Love and Romance
I have been getting a ton of inquiries in my email lately from people who read my blog and want to know more about how they can get involved in my dating service and what it is really all about. It certainly isn’t anything like any of the online dating sites out there. In fact, it is very different from online dating. Think of me as an old fashion matchmaker. It actually makes my skin crawl that people buy into the whole letting a computer decide who is right for you theory. We are real people, with real feelings and real emotions that need to be handled with real care and sometimes even a little touch love. Read more
The porch swing test…
As a matchmaker I am usually the one that friends, family, even strangers turn to when they need advice on their love life. This means I hear ALL the stories, the good, the bad and the ugly! More often then not it typically boils down to one thing…is this the person right for me, how can I tell, how can I be sure?
Well the answer is you can’t be sure and only YOU can make that decision. We don’t come with warning labels, expiration dates or guarantees! Read more
Leap of faith…
Saturday night I jumped. I did it! It was amazing, exhilarating and scary all at the same time. I was standing there looking down with my heart racing and all I kept thinking was “this is crazy, I can’t do it!” But I did! I haven’t felt knots in my belly like that in such a long time and it was worth it! It made me feel alive.
Funny though, I got to thinking…why was it so hard to step off that 75 foot cliff? I had my safety harness, something to hold on to and a big bouncy pillow to catch my fall. I realized it was my aged wisdom that wanted to hold me back. Read more
