Very Personal

Because each of my interviews with future clients is essentially a teachable moment, keeping a diary allows my clients and others a unique perspective into the constantly evolving world of dating and relationships. By reading about what others set as their expectations and desires for their future relationships each of us is afforded the opportunity to personally reflect on what it is we want for ourselves. Enjoy!

My first appointment today is a lady, late 40’s, divorced, educated, grown children, and her long term goal is marriage. She has been on a couple of the online services, obviously with no success, or she would not be meeting with me. Her complaints about online services are the same as the ones I usually hear, “time consuming, ineffective, the men did not look like their pictures, they lived all over the country, etc.” She was referred to me by a current client who is very happy with the ladies I have introduced to him.

These times, they are a changin’. I walked out of my office at 6:30 today and a young man said “Can you tell me a good place to go for happy hour?’ He was young, nicely dressed, good looking, and I knew he wasn’t going to ask me for “change”, which is something I get asked for ten times a day downtown from the homeless people.

My first appointment is a lady, late 20’s, ABS, educated, her long term goal is marriage and children. She is tall and thin and beautiful. She has been reading Donna’s Daily Diary for a few months and one of the things that appeals most her about my service is that I do not show pictures when I make a match. She tried a couple of dating services online and initially she was excited about what might happen.

I met with the two men from the new ad agency I am working with for about three hours yesterday and I am very excited about their ideas for marketing Perfectly Matched. It is interesting when I try to explain myself and my business to someone else. It has also been a real eye opener to visit the websites of other dating and matchmaking services to see how they are different from mine.
