Donna's Daily Diary - November 25, 2009

The man I mentioned on 11-21-09 came in to see the “cougar’s” picture and he is going to meet her. This will be interesting because they both prefer to date someone 10 years younger than themselves. I told them that was just another way they were compatible.

My first appointment today is a young lady, early 40’s, divorced and, her long term goal is marriage. She has no children and she can go either way as for as having children. She has a Masters degree and a job that sends her traveling all over the world. Her height preference for a man is 5’10 or taller. She is 5’7. Her income requirement is at least equal to hers, 120K. Her interest and activity level is moderately active and she does not feel she would be compatible with a “jock”. Her age preference is 42 to 50 and she prefers a man who has a degree although she agrees that intellectual compatibility is more important than level of education. She is very pretty but does not care for someone who is looking for “arm candy.” She is looking for a lot but, she has all this to offer in return. She came in with a list of questions for me and I must have answered them to her satisfaction because she is now a new client. This lady does her homework!

My second appointment today was a “be back”, a man I interviewed in August. He has been meeting ladies on the internet since then and decided it was time to try Perfectly Matched. He said “The last lady I met looked 20 years older and 20 pounds heavier than her picture.” He felt very uncomfortable when they met but he didn’t want to hurt her feelings so he spent two “long, long hours with her” and went home and deleted his profile from the online service. He said the one thing that appealed to him about my service was the feedback part of the process. He met a few ladies that seemed to be interested, said they were interested and, when he called them they did not call back. I said “They weren’t interested.” He said “Why would they say they are if they aren’t?” I said “Because it’s easier to say “sure, give me a call” than it is to say “I’m not interested.” AND, they don’t want to hurt YOUR feelings. I told him because I am involved as a third party, he will always know why someone is or is not interested. It’s no big mystery. If they are not interested, 99 out of 100 times it is because they don’t feel the physical attraction.

Next Thursday, December 3rd, is the third First Thursday at the Ritz. Last month we had approximately 80 people and this month we are expecting over a 100. Please email me for more info at donnashugrue@comcast.net or just join us at 5:30 for some holiday fun, mixing, mingling and dancing.

To be continued Monday………………….Happy Thanksgiving!
