Baggage can be many things to many people.  Here’s a list, but I’m sure some things will be left out:
1) Children from a previous marriage
2) Hurt from bitter divorce
3) Hurt and trust issues from a cheating partner
4) Hurt from previous unpleasant dating experiences
5) Money/credit issues from previous marriage
6) Large child support or […]

So I just got clued into this TV show on VH1 called Scott Baio is 45 and Single.

- Are you the jealous type? 
- Have you been known to google your date?
- Do you start worrying right away if the person you are dating is seeing others? 
- Do you check your date’s profile  for recent activity?
If you have done these things on occasion, well, you’re human.  But if you find yourself checking in […]

Just the other day one of my clients wanted to talk about sex.  She had questions about when it’s OK to become intimate.  We discussed the old saying "Why buy the cow when the milk is free?" Does this archaic way of looking at sex still hold true?  Do men still think this way? 
Well, it […]

If you are looking for the fillet mignon of meat markets, this would have to be it.  This weekend in Hollywood (could it be anywhere else?) for the mere price of $349 general admission, you could attend this incredible event […]

Sometimes I check around other coach’s blogs to see what they have to say.  And look what I found! 
Kathryn Lord spotted this article from Time Magazine which tells would be daters to avoid eHarmony!  On one hand I’m not surprised because I think their system is awkward and that most men over 40 won’t answer […]

If you are a baby boomer, you might want to read this article about dating over 40.  Overall, it’s very positive with AARP statistics and comments from Dr. Pepper Schwartz of PerfectMatch. among others.

Last night I went to a friend’s party.  At the end of the night a few people were still sitting around and the subject came up about my dating coaching business. Carla was talking about how over the years she has received some nice "Parting Gifts" from guys who broker up with her.
What?  I’ve never […]

Do you have big plans for the weekend? Some people pack their weekends with activity.  Some have loose plans and still others totally play it by ear. None of these choices are right or wrong.  But if you are single and serious about looking for love, then what steps will you take towards that goal?
Since […]

Some women are just born sexy.  They can’t help it and often they don’t try - they just are.  It’s in their very nature.  But it’s not a guarantee for dating or relationship success.  In fact, it can actually be a curse!
I know you are probably thinking, "I should be so cursed."  But the key […]

Are you boring?  Who would answer "Yes" to that question? Most people don’t think of themselves as boring and luckily, most people aren’t.  But does that automatically make you intriguing?  Hmmmmm…
When you go out to meet new people, what do you talk about?  Do you discuss work, family,  the weather? How do you feel when someone […]

Do you get overwhelmed or confused by too much advice?  Is it hard to know which advice to follow?
