Hello LoVers,


At some point, you do have to wonder if it's really EVERYONE ELSE. A client said something to me this week that I LOVED. She's been meeting men who check so many of her boxes... same stage of life, divorced with young kids, desire for a blended family, successful, active, emotionally ready for a relationship. But she simply hasn't been attracted to them. And after this happened a few times, she stopped and wondered: "Wait... do I just not find men attractive anymore?"


What I loved was that she was willing to look at herself. Not to assume she was the problem, but to get curious about her part in the pattern. She actually challenged herself to start noticing men out in the world she did find attractive and was very happy to report back that, YES, she found plennnty! Great. Now we have information. We can dig deeper into what attraction actually means to her and refine the search from there, because attraction absolutely matters, but it's rarely just a good looking face. It's physicality, presence, energy, style, confidence, how someone carries themselves... and sometimes something we can't quite put into words.


So as we head into a new season, maybe take a look at anything that seems to keep happening in your own dating life and ask: "What part of this belongs to me?" Self-reflection isn't self-blame. It's information. And sometimes the thing that changes your dating life isn't finding different people. It's seeing your own patterns a little differently.


If you're dating and feel like you keep running into the same thing, having someone outside of it can help you see what you can't always see yourself. Through private matchmaking and coaching, I help you understand your patterns, refine what you're really looking for, and create opportunities to meet the people who actually make sense for you. If you're ready to approach your love life differently this Fall, I'd love to hear your story.

Singles Spotlight: Is SHE Your Match?

MEN, ages 60-70, in CT, Westchester, NY and NYC...Are you kind and loyal? Are you a worldly man who takes care of himself and has a curious mind?


If this sounds like you, you might be a match for my educated and intellectually curious client, O. O enjoys the arts and the pleasures of a cultured life—an afternoon at a museum, a great performance, live music, or an engaging conversation over dinner. She speaks French, enjoys Pilates, and is equally comfortable traveling independently or sharing a spontaneous adventure with someone she enjoys. She regularly visits her adult children in New York City, making the city a natural part of her world.


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


HOT TOPIC: The One Who Got Away

Does anyone haunt us more than the one who got away? You know who I mean: that one ex who haunts your thoughts with "what if?" They're the ex who pops up in your head when you hear a nostalgic song, or when you run across their name, or when you're a few drinks in, feeling sorry for yourself. Let's be real: Most of us have a soft spot for the life we didn't live. That sharp little ache of almost.


Read about it here and tell me what you think!

TOP 3: Reasons You Get Attached So Fast

  1. You confuse attention with emotional safety: When someone gives you consistent attention, affection, or validation, it can feel like a deeper connection than it actually is.

  2. You attach to the potential, not the person: You start imagining what the relationship could become before you've had enough time to see who they really are.

  3. Uncertainty makes you want them more: Mixed signals, inconsistent texting, or not knowing where you stand can create anxiety—and that anxiety can feel like intense attraction.
