Dating Advice: What if He’s too Busy to See Me?

Too Busy to See You? Dear Ronnie, The Dating Coach, I’m a single lady and already 28. Well my problem is that I’m afraid that I won’t ever find the right guy to marry. Wanted to be married when I’ve turned 27 years last year in January 2009, but unfortunately that was just a dream that has gone into shatters. Before I dated someone for 8 years and we broke up. To me it feels like time I’ve wasted! I’m... [Read More...]

Dating After Divorce: Are You a “Yes” Person or a “No” Person?

Dating After Divorce Recently I  saw a movie on TV with Jim Carrey called the Yes Man. As with many of his movies it was on the edge if not over.  He takes a personal development workshop and commits to saying “Yes” to literally everything. His life takes a  wild ride as a result, with many zany adventures. Yet, when you think about it,  saying “Yes” might actually have a tremendous impact for the better on your... [Read More...]

NYC Singles: “Single and the City” Hosts Mixers with a Twist!

Dating After Divorce: Where Are the Men Who Want to Get Serious?

Sunday night, Maddy called to inquire about coaching. We started talking about how her dating life is going and what prompted her to make the call. Maddy is very frustrated with men. She feels that they don’t want to commit or aren’t interested in finding a serious relationship. You know how that can feel. If you’ve been out there dating, chances are this thought has crossed your mind as well. And sometimes, you do meet a series... [Read More...]

Lori Gottlieb’s New Book – Marry Him – Creates a New Vision for Mr. Good Enough

When I first encountered Lori Gottlieb’s controversial article in the February 2008 issue of Atlantic Monthly, I hated the idea of settling and simply couldn’t get past the choice of language. Now that I have read her new book, I can honestly say– it’s a must read for every woman over 35 looking for a husband. Read it if you have dated a lot of men and can’t find one who measures up. Read it if you can’t find any men worth dating.... [Read More...]

Dating Over 40: What about Men Who are Spontaneous?

Heather, an over 40 dating coaching client of mine, asked me about a man she had been emailing online. They had several fun exchanges over three days. He told her how his work is bi-coastal and he spends a lot of time in California. Dave wasn’t sure when he’d have time to get together. Then yesterday at about 4pm, Dave felt spontaneous. Since he found himself without a plan for the evening, maybe she’d like to get together?... [Read More...]

Dating Over 40: Soul Mate – That’s Two 4-Letter Words

How many times have you heard a woman say, “I’m waiting for my soul mate”? I cringe every time I hear those two words. Why? Because these two words can create a tremendous obstacle in a woman’s search for a mate. Many of my over 40 dating coaching clients meet men who are in the “ball park” of whom they are seeking. Yet, they make snap judgments about the men, thinking, “ If the guy’s not a home... [Read More...]

Dating as a Widow: Man Pulls Away to “Slow Things Down”

Dear Ronnie, I’m 62 and have been a widow for five years. Finally I felt ready to try my luck at dating, and at the beginning of December, I met a new guy at a dance.

He called me several times a day and we saw each other frequently - four or more times per week, spending the entire weekend together. I was totally... [Read More...]
