Online Dating – Why Isn’t it Working for Me?

Tuesday, March 27th, 2012
In this new era of internet dating, finding a partner should be easy, right?  As many of you know it's not that simple. What makes it so hard?  Well for starters, men spend 65% or more of their time looking at photos; while women spend 50% or more of their online search time reading the profiles.  That's a huge disconnect!! Ladies, if you aren't using the best, most attractive picture of yourself then you are losing out on a large portion of potential matches.  And guys, if you haven't given some time and thought to what you've written…

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

Puppy Dogs

Thursday, May 21st, 2009
Ladies, you've dated them, and guys, you might recognize if you've been one - The Puppy Dog.  That guy that is "too nice" after or during a first date.  He tries too hard, pays too many compliments, gushes about how wonderful she is, and just seems downright forlorn when the date ends - thus the puppy dog eyes. Mystery Gentlemen, pay attention - - ladies like a little mystery, a little intrigue, a little hard to get, but (and this is a big BUT), they also like nice guys.  So if you are a nice guy, how do you balance…

To Settle or Not to Settle

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009
One of my clients was talking to me about a conversation she recently had where the guy was asking her what she was looking for in a man.  She mentioned intelligence, humor, stable both financially and emotionally but told him she didn't really care what he looked like or how tall he was. In response, he said, "Geez, you're really settling aren't you?" Your List. Everyone has a list of must have's and/or deal breakers when they are looking to meet their match.  The list typically has the important things on it, but can't possibly have everything on it.  Once you make…

Should You Send a Thank You Email?

Friday, May 1st, 2009
Bill Husted, of the Denver Post, recently interviewed dating coach, author and Denverite Rachel Greenwald about her new book, "Why He Didn't Call You Back." During the interview he asked her this question - Should women send a thank you email after a date? Her answer, "Never. She's chasing him, and if a guy likes you, he wants to do the chasing." One of my matchmaking clients (a woman) recently asked me what I thought of her answer and did I agree.  I don't think it's as easy as saying never. Scenarios Let's look at a couple scenarios to…

Technology and Dating Etiquette

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009
Denver is a pretty casual town, generally laid back and relaxed, but seriously folks, if you are single and dating in Denver are you so casual that you lose sight of common courtesy?  I've recently heard from both men and women about how manners and common courtesy seem to be a thing of the past these days, due in part to technology. Read on, I'd love your opinion! Don't be Rude or Wimpy. Ah, the infamous wimpy way out - I'll just let him/her know via email or text message that I don't want to see him/her anymore.  Hey, at least I'm…

Dating When You’re Not A Teenager Anymore

Sunday, March 15th, 2009
Dating as you get older is sometimes pretty scary ground. For many, after years being married and perhaps living through a tough divorce, the idea of meeting someone again may seem awkward, uncertain, or at the very least - you may have been out of the dating scene for so long that you don't even know what the rules are anymore! (And rule books seem scarce!) And yet, here you are on your first date. Or at least the first date in years.  Dating when you're past the teenaged years is a bit different and…

Do Opposites Really Attract?

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008
Should you look for someone just like you? I recently read an article (Denver Post 9/2/08) interviewing Keith Swain, a couples therapist, and some other relationship experts. The article focused on one theory of a good match. It's a question I get all the time, "how do you match people?" Well, Keith suggests that you look for someone a little different from you. But there is a lot of disagreement on all sides. Some excerpts Keith has some key points to make. His theory is that some people are alpha, meaning they focus on careers, finances, success,…

Talk Dirty to Me

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008
  Do all guys really like raunchy talk?  I was recently talking with a client and the subject of sex came up.  During the discussion, she said she didn't really like talking dirty, but has been told guys really like it.  "Hmmm, I wonder if this is the case with all men?" I asked.  Well, as it turns out she had taken a small poll of some of her guy friends and they all said the same thing -- "We Love it!" The Research. Of course I had to do some of my own research.  Seems that it's mostly true, guys like the raunchy…
