My first appointment today is a lady, early 50’s, ABS (always been single) highly educated, no children, and her long term goal is marriage. Her last serious relationship ended three months ago and lasted a year and a half. There is nothing like a serious relationship to remind you how nice it is to have someone special in your life. People can be single for years and then someone comes along and captures their heart and they realize what it feels like to feel close, be connected, and they want have that again in their life.

This is an email I received from a client who joined Perfectly Matched 20 years ago: Donna, Just wanted to drop a line. My name was Shelley Putney when I met you in 1992. You introduced me to Danny Paur in 1993. We dated for 3 years and were married in 1996. Our 16th wedding anniversary is coming up next month. We have 3 beautiful children Jeni will be 14 soon, Sara is 12 and Levi is 10.

My first appointment today is a man, mid 70’s, divorced, grown children, just retired for the second time. I think it is wonderful when a man, or lady, his age is still interested in finding a mate. His long term goal is definitely to be married. He was born and raised in Kansas, and grew up on a farm. After his military career he moved to California and was a vineyard manager for twenty years. He retired for the first time and moved to Colorado and bought a farm ten years ago. This week he sold the farm, bought a new house, and joined a dating service.

My first appointment today is a lady, mid 30’s, ABS (always been single), highly educated, her long term goal is marriage and she would like to have a child, or children.

Donna’s Daily Dairy has been MIA for the last week because I have been in the clouds. I woke up to a black screen on my computer a few days ago, not a good way to start the day. Fortunately, I had my computer backed up by Mozy and a friend was able to help me retrieve everything that was on my old computer. I did not know that information was being stored on a cloud. I have learned more than I ever wanted to know about what happens when you have to download backup info from a cloud. I certainly could not have done it without the help of Dave, who spent two hours helping me on Thursday and five hours on Friday. Thank you, Dave!!!

My first appointment today is a man, early 50’s, divorced, educated, grown children, self employed, and his long term goal is definitely to be married again. I said “It’s nice to hear someone be so positive about the fact that they want to be married again. Many people I interview, especially in this age range, are ambivalent about marriage, or, in fact, say they definitely do NOT want to be married again.”

My first appointment today is a lady, mid 50’s, divorced, highly educated, grown children, her long term goal is a serious relationship, she would consider marriage, and she would consider living with someone.

My first appointment today is a man, late 30’s, ABS, always been single, his long term goal is marriage and children. What an interesting fellow! His last relationship was with a lady who had children. He was so connected to her children, and although the relationship ended, it made him realize how much he wants to have children. He really has a heart for children. He coached a soccer team for young boys and he said they were always talking about girls and wanting to know what he knew about “GIRLS”.
