Now this is a FUN question!
Dear Dating Coach,
I’ve been dating Max for nearly a month and it’s been fun. He emails and texts quite a bit, and also calls, although not as often. We see each other 2-3 times a week and things are going pretty well. I’m not ready to get exclusive - just […]

Marilyn was complaining recently that she was tired of spending so much time alone. She just broke up with her boyfriend of three years and they had done EVERYTHING together. Now she was boyfriendless and companionship scarce.
What about her girlfriends? Well Marilyn had focused her life on her man. Some of her friendships stayed intact,, […]

True story. One of my clients, Katie, sent me an email about meeting a great guy - who turns out to be studying to be a priest! OK, When I read the email I laughed out loud.. But it does make you pause and think about things doesn’t it?
She was worried this was a sign that she […]

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal presented results from a new study on parents, teens and dating rules. The article entitled, "What the Dating Rules You Set For Your Kids Say About You"  had some interesting tidbits. Apparently happily married couples set more stringent guidelines, where as parents burned by love dealt with […]

Today on my morning walk, I noticed two young girls in costumes riding scooters. The older girl had on a super hero costume iI didn’t recognize. The other had on a black velvet leotard with black tights, two pointy ears on a headband and a plush black tail pinned to her bottom. The tail wagged […]

I went to breakfast Sunday morning at the diner in town. After i got in line, a small older woman came through the door. As she entered, she put her hands above her head, shook her hips and said, "I’m 88 today!" Then, in walked her 92 year old husband.
They sat at a table with […]

Many of my clients show me the photos they plan to post with their online profile. As part of coaching, I review photos and provide comments. My goal of course is to ensure that people post the best possible photos to get teh best possible results.
Now you are probably thinking to yourself - well duh! […]

 I find this kind of history fascinating, so I wanted to share a bit with you. Understanding where our traditions originated is really fun for me.
The summer solstice on June 21st is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. For centuries this has been a day of celebration, recognizing the cycle of […]

If you are going to write up a profile and answer all the questions on Match.com or any other dating site, for goodness sake, please post a photo. I am constantly amazed at women who tell me they don’t want to put up a picture. Why not?
Well there are plenty of reasons. For example some […]

Elaine is 54, single, and an extremely busy executive with a job that is all consuming. Two weeks ago she went on a first date with Daniel, and she was complaining to me how he hadn’t called. She was surprised and confused to report that he had left a message just that day to set […]

I found this great article today on MSN.com about expanding your social circle. Bascially the idea is, the more people you know, the more people they know. When you increase your social reach, you chances of meeting  "The One" get better and better.
Dating is a numbers game. With that in mind, you can see what a […]

One of my newest clients asked me what a flirty fun summer is supposed to be like.  That’s what I’ve been talking about a lot lately. The idea involves enjoying yourself while flirting with men. But let’s take a step back further to really examine what flirty fun might mean.
According to dictionary.com, the word FLIRT means:
To […]

While this post is about a guy, this plan will work for women too. So jump in and try it!

During the last group coaching session of the spring series, one of my clients, Isabel has been struggling with staying motivated. She finds so many reasons to not go to events or worse, signing up for things, but not following through to attend. This pattern has really been keeping her from sticking with her dating […]

 
Here’s something new for you - Love U, an educational video series on… DATING! How fun!
I  just watched this quick video on flirting. They have the concepts down, but the demonstration seems a bit tongue and cheek. Not all that serious, really. But the lessons themselves are sound. Things like flipping your hair, mirroring his […]

 
Dear Ronnie,
I joined match.com after being divorced four years and met a man. We get along great, did the IM, email and phone thing for about a month before meeting and it was great. We both decided we weren’t ready for a relationship but that we wanted to date each other casually (i.e. have sex) […]

 
Dear Dating Coach,
Why can’t a man just tell you when things are over?
 
I had a long distance relationship with this great guy for 15 months. He had been a client and while we worked together, we spoke daily. At one point he flew out for a meeting and we got to spend time face to […]
