Hello LoVers,


Serious question. Why is it that we sometimes treat the people we're meeting and dating with less courtesy than we give complete strangers?


Think about it. If the electrician calls and leaves a message, we call them back.

If the clerk at the store goes out of their way to help us find something, we thank them.

If a neighbor stops to ask about our dog, we smile and answer.


If someone invites us to a networking or neighborhood event, we let them know whether we're coming.


Most of us are solid humans. We move through the world making a reasonable effort to acknowledge other people, respond to them, and treat them with basic courtesy.


Yet somehow, when it comes to dating, some people feel comfortable disappearing without explanation, ignoring messages, leaving plans hanging, or simply failing to communicate. WHY THOUGH?


I've always found that fascinating because the people we're dating aren't less deserving of kindness than the stranger at the grocery store. If anything, they're more deserving.


After all, these are people we're getting to know. People who are sharing their time, energy, vulnerability, hopes, and attention with us. We teach our children to live by "The Golden Rule" and we expect the same from other as very baseline human behavior but it shouldn't stop applying when romance enters the picture.


TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED. That's it. That's the message.

So, my challenge for you, singles... leave people with clarity, not confusion. A simple text, honest answer, or timely response can go a long way. ❤️


If you're ready to approach dating with intention, discernment, and a process that is both thoughtful and highly personalized... I am here for you.

Singles Spotlight: Is SHE Your Match?

MEN, ages 30-45, ... Are you smart, active, open-minded, and Ivy-educated? This exceptional client is looking for someone who can keep up both intellectually and in life.


If this sounds like you, you may be a match for my thoughtful, driven, and engaging client, J. J has a love for history, culture, design, and the arts, and she enjoys conversations that go beyond the surface. She values honesty, kindness, and emotional maturity. Thoughtful and caring by nature, she's excited to build a meaningful partnership filled with connection, shared experiences, laughter, and family.


She takes a thoughtful and values-driven approach to relationships and believes physical intimacy is something she'd like to reserve for marriage. She's seeking a partner who shares or genuinely respects that perspective.


If you are a good match and are interested in learning more, email me!


HOT TOPIC: Age Gaps in Relationships

Many people date partners roughly their age, but some people have quite large age gaps in their relationships. However, there has not been a lot of systematic psychological research to find out how much of an age gap people prefer in a romantic relationship.


Read about it here and tell me what you think!

TOP 3: Reasons People Ghost

  1. They Want to Avoid an Uncomfortable Conversation: For many people, ghosting isn't about cruelty—it's about avoidance. Ghosting is often a sign of poor communication skills, not a reflection of your worth.

  2. Their Interest Wasn't as Strong as Their Attention: Attention and commitment are not the same thing. When their interest fades, they simply stop showing up.

  3. They're Emotionally Unavailable or Unsure What They Want: Some people like the idea of dating more than the reality of it. Ghosting is often a sign that someone wasn't prepared for the level of consistency, vulnerability, or commitment that a relationship requires.
