Donna's Daily Diary - October 21, 2009

I matched a couple this July and they really clicked when they first met. They sent me chocolate covered strawberries in September and they want to stop by next Tuesday with some Halloween treats. I have never had a couple who is inspired to keep sending me treats. It’s so thoughtful and I really appreciate it. I just wonder what I am going to weigh by the time they get married.

I just had to talk my 86 year young father out of going over to see his girlfriend. They both live in Monument and it is snowing like crazy right now and he “thinks he can make it.” She called him and told him not to drive and I told him not to drive. He hasn’t seen her for two days and it’s killing him. Every time someone tells me “maybe my time for falling in love has passed”, I think of my Dad. If your mind and heart are open to falling in love, it can happen at any age.

My first appointment today had to cancel because she has the flu. She is a teacher (my largest group of professional women are teachers) and, it will be very interesting to see how this year goes as far as the flu is concerned. There have already been a few schools that have closed down for a few days.

My second appointment is now a new client. I knew she would be a new client before she even came in for the interview because her mother paid for her membership as a 35th birthday present. This was odd. When her mother called me she said, “I want to interview you and see if you are the lady who is going to find the right man for my daughter to marry.” I didn’t ask her a lot of questions. I just booked the appointment. I told her mother I would like to meet her daughter before there was a financial investment but she was confident and paid for a program. This young lady comes in today, ONLY because her mother insisted and, by the time she left my office she was very excited. She said “I thought only desperate people go to a dating service.” I said, “No, it’s people who don’t have time, are tired of leaving to chance, want to be more selective about the people they do meet and, people who don’t want to be divorced again or ever.” People should not lose faith in the institution of marriage or commitment. They should just find the RIGHT person to marry or live together happily ever after. I have some excellent matches for this young lady and I DON’T want to disappoint her mother.
