Hello LoVers,


As I'm writing this tonight, I'm sitting in my backyard watching fireflies dance across the lawn. They're beautiful, aren't they? Magical, even. But if you've ever tried to catch one, you know what happens. You run from one little flash of light to the next, only to watch it disappear and pop up somewhere else.


And it made me think about dating.


We hear a lot about noticing "green flags." And while I think they're important, I worry we've become a little too focused on chasing flashes instead of paying attention to patterns. Green flags get your attention. Green patterns earn your trust.


You know the only way to recognize a pattern? Time. Observation. Shared experiences.

(I know... I may sound like a broken record encouraging you to give good people a real chance. But I just can't stop saying it because I've watched it change so many lives. It's too important.)


One thoughtful text? Green flag.

One great date? Green flag.

One romantic gesture? Also a green flag.

But one green flag doesn't tell you who someone is. Patterns do.


Does their kindness show up consistently? Do their words match their actions? Do they follow through? Are they emotionally available over time? Do you feel more like yourself the more you get to know them?


The healthiest, most JOYful relationships aren't built on exciting moments alone. They're built on repeated moments that quietly say, "You can count on me."


So this summer, enjoy the fireflies... but please don't build your love life around chasing flashes. Stick around to notice the person whose steady light keeps showing up long after everyone else's has disappeared. The brightest flash isn't always the best match.


If you're ready to stop chasing the next flash and start intentionally creating opportunities for lasting love, I'd be honored to help. Get in touch to schedule a complimentary 15 minute call to see if my private and personalized Matchmaking service is a fit for you and let's see what's possible.

Singles Spotlight: Is SHE Your Match?

MEN, ages 58-65 ... Are you confident, honest, educated, and financially secure? Do you live an active lifestyle? Enjoy travel and outdoor adventures? Do you have a good sense of humor?


If this sounds like you, you may be a match for my sharp, driven, and charismatic client, M. M is naturally thoughtful, passionate, and protective of those she loves. You'll find her staying active with CrossFit and hot yoga, hiking, paddle boarding, boating, tending to her garden, trying new restaurants, cooking, or enjoying music and cultural experiences. She values living well and prioritizes both physical and mental wellness.

HOT TOPIC: The Importance of Respect

Romantic equality is often regarded as the foundation of healthy relationships. Yet flourishing couples routinely accept striking inequalities. The one inequality they rarely survive is inequality in respect. Some forms of inequality undermine a relationship, while others may actually strengthen attraction.

TOP 3: Ways to Become a Better Listener

  1. DListen to Understand—Not to Respond: One of the biggest mistakes people make is planning their next answer while the other person is still talking. People remember how heard they felt, not how impressive your answer was.

  2. Ask Follow-Up Questions: Great listeners don't just hear—they get curious. Thoughtful follow-up questions show you're genuinely interested, not just waiting for your turn to speak.

  3. Put Away Distractions: Nothing says "I'm listening" like your full attention. Giving someone your undivided attention is one of the simplest—and most meaningful—ways to build connection.
