Social Network Love

In comments the other day Bobby, from Relationship Digest, made a good point about how we are not just limited to the online dating services when it comes to meeting new people.  We also have things like twitter, youtube, facebook, myspace and several other social networking sites now where we have the opportunity to put ourselves out there whether it be for fun or in efforts of finding love.

I can say from personal experience that these avenues seem to be a better choice only because they give you a chance to get to know Read more

16 Days and counting…

As you may have guessed, this is always the busiest time of year for a matchmaker.  Everyone wants a date for Valentines Day!  Well almost everyone…So far this week I have talked to two of my friends that are in relationships and they are actually dreading Valentines Day!  What?  Are you crazy?  They both have boyfriends and they are dreading Valentines Day!  What about those of us that don’t have someone special to share this most romantic day of all days with!  How dare you complain about Valentines Day, you have a boyfriend!

Drive through dating…

So you put up a picture of yourself, write a few paragraphs full of clichés like “I’m easy going, honest, loyal and hard working etc.”  You spend hours online sorting through profiles full of the same clichés you just wrote about yourself and hope to find someone who has things in common with you.  Just because you both like bowling doesn’t mean you are going to live happily ever after!

I can’t tell you how many times I have heard of that one phrase destroying a potentially good relationship.  Most recently I was talking a good friend in DC down from what could have been a very self destructive plan.  She had been dating this guy for about 2 months and decided it was time to take down her online dating profile.  When she signed on (after not signing on in two months) she chuckled because the site had generated a new match for her and it was her new boyfriend.  She went to his profile out of curiosity and discovered that he was “Active within 24 hours!” Read more

Making love happen…

I have had several people ask me lately about my “online service” and I wanted to take the time to explain that I do not have an online service.  I am an old fashion matchmaker.  I have successfully combined the values of a matchmaker into the dating service business model.  If you haven’t already go check out my other website MatchMaker International for more details.  What I do is work with people individually to help find someone that they would be truly compatible with.  It sounds pretty simple but it’s really not.
