The vast array of dating apps has skewed our sense on the real-world of dating by dangling the prospect of another better match, based on a perception of algorithmic decisions, merely a swipe away. The forced isolation of the pandemic, and the attempts that many people made to work around it, has put an […]
Single parents, Dad, or Mom, navigate “dating” again with some history under their belts. Kids and some requirements for what’s OK and what they simply won’t ever do again. The rules are very different, and the experience gives them some distinct advantages in terms of recognizing what they don’t want and are willing to […]

Most singles believe that LOVE is like a light switch where something flicks on, you get an overwhelming sensation, it hits you like a bag of bricks- or cupid’s arrow. It’s when you know that you’ve found the one, right? NOT SO MUCH! I’ve learned over the past 20 years working with singles that LOVE, […]
You miss out 100% on the chances you don’t take. Wayne Gretzky appears to be the earliest attributed source of this particular expression. It makes sense when you have a goal or a dream, but you don’t take a shot at it, you miss the opportunity to score, to win, or to get what you want. […]
