Are You Getting Fat?

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011
A recent Cosmo and AskMen.com survey reported that 40% of men would dump their girlfriend if she gained weight. Appallng? Accurate? On the flip side, only 20% of women said they would dump their boyfriend if he gained weight. Why the discrepancy? It's common knowledge that men are generally the more visual of the two sexes. They are more focused on looks and body type than what's inside a person (that's all just icing on the proverbial cake). Women on the other hand are a bit more forgiving. As a matchmaker I interview both men and women. When I ask the women…

Who Pays the Bills?

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011
I recently had an interesting discussion with a male client of mine regarding money and relationships. It comes into play on the first date and never seems to end. Who pays the bill on the first date? To eliminate this awkward part of the first date I ask my men to just do it. Don't fight about it, don't accept her offer to cover half, just pick up the tab. Why though? Why not have all my couples go dutch? I've been asking myself this question and many more since the conversation with…

A 2nd Date – Should I or Not?

Monday, February 28th, 2011
After each date, I ask my clients to follow up with me and let me know how the date went.  I hear a lot of the same sort of feedback every time and pass along the same words of wisdom each time.  I thought it would be worth sharing these thoughts on date feedback with everyone, so after your next date you will be able to make a decision as to whether or not you want to see your date again! My date's hairstyle/clothes/shoes/glasses were outdated or not stylish. This comment is usually preceded by "I know this is going to sound…

“I’m Going to Meet My Match!”

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011
Resolutions New Year's Resolutions, every year people set them and when the weather starts to get warm they are all but forgotten.  And year after year I receive phone calls from people in January who are looking for love.  Don't get me wrong, this is great, we love it when our phone rings!  But when I ask them what made them decide to pick up the phone and call they say - "I set a goal to meet my match this year."  Wow!  That's a lot of pressure to put on yourself! Baby Steps I'm the first to agree that calling Ignite Matchmaking…

Nerds, Geeks, Dorks – Who are The Best to Date?

Friday, June 18th, 2010
I frequently hear from the women I interview "I tend to like nerdy guys." However, when push comes to shove and I send them on a date with a nerdy guy, turns out maybe they don't like nerdy guys after all.  Maybe it's because they don't really know what a nerdy guy is. Seems they tend to like smart guys who are hot, which doesn't fit into the definition of nerd. So where does that leave the run of the mill nerd? What's the Difference? According to my web searching - nerds, geeks and dorks are all different.  A nerd…

Do Women Fall Faster Than Men?

After a man and woman have sex, who falls faster for the other, the man or the woman?

Are You Attractive?

Saturday, October 10th, 2009
Do You Consider Yourself to be Good Looking? When I meet with a client I typically discuss with them the looks of the person they are seeking.  What are they attracted to?  Do they have a particular type?  I like to get an idea of what they will find attractive.  However, I am constantly amazed by people's vision of their match in comparison to their vision of themselves. Take a Look Around. The next time you go out, look at the couples you see.  I mean really look at them!  How do they compare to each other?  In my experience, most couples are…

Are You in a Textationship?

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
Call Me. A few weeks ago I was talking with a new client and she was telling me about the last guy she had dated.  She said they got along great, had fun together but she never talked to him between dates because all he would do was text her. "Really, he never called you?" "Nope, he did everything by text, even asking me out on dates.  I'd leave him a voicemail, he'd text me in reply.  I'd text him to call me, he'd text me back asking what was up." TEXTATIONSHIPS. On one of their last dates as they were talking he said something…

Do Women Over 55 Really Want a Relationship?

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009
I was recently talking with one of my clients about some of the women we've introduced him to.  These women have been great matches; he's liked several of them and has wanted to see them again.  Unfortunately, they haven't had an interest in seeing him again.  I asked him why he thought this was, what was the common denominator in all of these dates? His answer? They are all 55 or older. Why Doesn't She Want to See Him Again? He feels that women over 55 want to have that love at first site feeling again.  That experience of being swept off…

Dress To Impress

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009
I’m always asked “What should I wear on my date?” The answer is always, “It depends.” Where are you going on your date?  What will you be doing?  If you are going to the Opera I would suggest something very different than if you are going to a Rockies or Bronco’s game. The Dinner Date By far though the most common date is the dinner date or lunch date.  These are a little more difficult to figure out what to wear.  Denver is a casual town and you’ll see jeans everywhere you go (including the theater and opera).  This makes being single…
