My first appointment today is a lady, mid 20’s, ABS, educated, her long term goal is marriage and children. She said “I have sisters who are married and they both have kids. I feel like life is speeding by and I don’t want to miss my opportunity to have kids.” She had two long term relationships and they both began with her feeling they could be the father of her children. They both ended with her being sure they would not be the father of her children. After three years in her last relationship he confessed that he did not want to be a father.

She said “How do you know men are telling you the truth when they say they want to have children?”

I said “People tell me the truth about what they want because they are paying me money to help them find what they want. A man would not tell me to find him a woman who wants to have children if he did not want to have children.” I encouraged her to be just as focused on finding a man who would also be the right husband for her. She agreed.

She enjoys a sport that has only been mentioned to me a couple of times, rowing. You should see her arms! According to her, rowing is an early morning sport where you get on the water at about 4am before other boats are out on the water to make waves. She also enjoys snowboarding, repelling, kayaking, and mountain climbing. No one who is faint of heart would be a good match for her. She is an admitted adrenaline junkie and next on her list is sky diving. She wants to explore more of the world and a trip to China is on her “to do” list.

She said “I feel I still have time to be married for a few years before I have kids and there is so much I want to do before I become a mother. I can’t see myself taking some of these risks when I have a child.”

Her sister said “Quit wasting your time and call that lady who is on the bathroom wall everywhere .” I would prefer to be called a Matchmaker but whatever makes them pick up the phone and call works for me.

I have some great matches for her and they are just as interested in being a father as she is in being a mother.

My second appointment is a man, late 40’s, divorced, highly educated, grown children, self employed, his long term goal is a serious relationship and he would consider marriage, with a prenuptial. He said “I would offer a prenuptial that any lady should be comfortable with, but I am not going to jeopardize all that I have accumulated to this point and what I can leave to my children.” He feels that it is fair to separate what they each bring into the relationship and agree to share whatever assets they accumulate together should the marriage end. I told him there are just as many ladies looking to have to same protection. His last relationship ended because she would not agree to a prenuptial and four months later she married someone else.

He has a great sense of humor and I cannot remember the last time I laughed so much in an interview. He said “My mother told me I should listen to that song that says “Make an ugly woman your wife, she will love you for the rest of your life”. He loves his mom, she is Italian, and gives him a hard time about the women he dates. He said “She says you keep dating the Barbie dolls who just want to have fun and spend your money. Find a real woman who grows her own vegetables and has dinner on the table every night.”  His daughter also gives him a hard time about his choices for women and has informed him he CANNOT date a woman who is the same age as her.

He said “The two most important women in my life think I need some help and I am beginning to think they are right.” He has been divorced for almost five years and has had a lot of fun dating and exploring his options but he is really ready to find the right lady and be in a committed relationship. He said “I love being with one special person and I love being in love. I miss that and I want to find it again with the right lady.”

He loves to travel, especially in the US of A. He said “International travel has become complicated and there are so many places I want to explore here.” He is also a veracious reader, enjoys concerts, theater, good wine, good food, loves to cook and loves to work. He said “My work is my passion and, hopefully, I can find someone who understands that I can have weeks where I work 60 hours and I can have weeks where we can take off for two or three weeks and do something fun.”

I am going to try to find him a woman who grows her own vegetables, has dinner on the table, is beautiful, older than his daughter, and make them all happy.

My first appointment today is a lady, mid 40’s, divorced, highly educated, grown children, her long term goal is a serious, committed relationship and possibly marriage. I really enjoyed the interview with her. She is very grounded and centered and comfortable with herself. She is also very focused and sure of the type of man she would like to meet.

She said “I have found that a man who has friends in his life is very important to me. I have friends and I appreciate the diversity and joy they add to my life. I like a man who looks forward to spending time with his friends, male and female.” She also likes someone who is comfortable in his own skin, is assertive, but not arrogant, honest, and can make decisions. She said “Another important quality is someone who treats others with respect. Nothing turns me off faster than someone who treats the wait staff rudely.”

She loves the outdoors and enjoys hiking, camping, canoeing, snowmobiling, movies, theaters, concerts, plays, and traveling. She goes international at least every two years and loves Europe. She works out three to four times a week and appreciates a man who takes care of himself. She loves cooking and trying new recipes. Her glass is always half full and a man who has a positive outlook and a good sense of humor is a real plus. She has an issue with people who think they are better than others. She likes a man who can be comfortable in a tux or can be in the mountains for two or three days without taking a shower. Someone who looks back at his relationships and can see them as a learning experience.

She is a sweetheart of a lady and I get to decide who will be the first lucky man to meet her.

My sister, Dolly, passed today at 11:26am. Her time in the hospital started on December 22, 2011 and ended today, January 21, 2012. Everything possible that could have saved her life was done, but in the end, her 30 years of coping with lupus compromised her immune system so much that she was unable to fight off the pneumonia she got a month ago. Other than my mother who passed almost ten years ago, I have never lost someone so close to me. She was my baby sister and only sister. Just 60 years old. Gone way too soon. I will forever miss her and I feel so blessed that I was able to get to Phoenix and spend that last night with her where she was somewhat conscious and knew I was there. If you love your family tell them every chance you get. You never know when the next time could be the last time.

My first appointment today is a lady, mid 40’s, divorced, highly educated, grown children, and her long term goal is marriage. She is smart, smart, smart. She married very young and had her children in her early 20’s. She decided to go to college and a few years and a couple of degrees later she found the courage to leave an abusive marriage. Her next marriage was to a very nice man, but after 20 years and a couple of more degrees she found herself unfulfilled with a man who had no ambition. I understand how important intellectual compatibility is, and although that is not necessarily connected to a level of education, it is important to be intellectually stimulated, especially if you are highly intellectual.

She said “I don’t care if he is bald, somewhat overweight, or not so good looking. I am more attracted to a man who is ambitious, confident, and has no baggage.”

I said “What do you mean by no baggage?”

She said “Someone who has dealt with his past and accepted it.”

Someone who has honor and integrity matters more to her than anything else.

She enjoys walking, running, hiking, movies, dining out, discussing history, philosophy, and traveling. She has been to Japan, England, Singapore, Greenland, and would love to go to China.

She said “I see pictures of the beautiful mountains in China and they look so different from the mountains in Colorado. I would love to see them with someone special.”

If you are interested in seeing the mountains in China with someone special, you should give me a call.

My second appointment is a man, late 60’s, widowed, highly educated, grown children, retired, and his long term goal is marriage, with a prenuptial.

He said “At this time in life there are things that need to be protected, and I would expect no less from a lady I might fall in love with.’

He shared with me his love story about the “love of his life” and it almost made me cry. I told him he was very lucky to have experienced that kind of love because he will not settle for less as he continues to look for next love of his life. He agreed.

I am so accustomed to men his age preferring to date younger that it was refreshing to hear him say he did not think it would feel comfortable to date someone more than ten years younger, and he will date up to his own age. He is also open on his height preference, race and many of his other preferences.

As far as religion, he said “What matters to me most is someone who believes in love, forgiveness and gratitude.”

Although he is retired, he is actively involved in many organizations and feels strongly about giving back to the community.

Fitness is important, and he prefers a lady who is physically fit and active. He enjoys working out, biking, theaters, concerts, plays, reading, is open to getting back into skiing, and he loves to travel. He has traveled all over the world and has an interest to visit many, many more countries.

He is very easy going and kind hearted and I am delighted to have the opportunity to help him find the next love of his life.

My third appointment is a lady, early 60’s, divorced, educated, self employed, grown children, grandchildren, and, although she is a strong believer, her long term goal is not necessarily marriage. She said “I would consider marriage, and although I am a strong believer, I would also consider living with someone or maintaining separate residences.”  I told her that living together or maintaining separate residences has become the most preferred option in her age range.

She said “Friendship and companionship are what matter most to me.”

She enjoys reading, music, concerts, plays and hiking. She has traveled all over the world, and has an interest to continue to travel.

She had scheduled an appointment to come see me a year ago but she cancelled because the timing was not right.

She said “My other obligations have fallen into place and now I have time to make my personal life a priority.”

Timing is everything.

On a personal note, my sister is going to be taken off life support if there is no change by Friday. This has been such an emotional roller coaster, unlike anything I have ever experienced. I am not ready for her to be gone, but she may already be gone. We will know by Friday. I so appreciate everyone’s prayers and support. Additionally, my Dad returned to Colorado on Sunday from his five months in Florida to see if he can tolerate the altitude or has to return to Florida to survive. He has been living with my brother who is here with him and has agreed to stay for three weeks for Dad to decide if he stays or goes back to Florida. Family…don’t take them granted, you never know when they will be gone.

This is another one of those times where this has nothing to do with matchmaking, but everything to do with life and this is an update on my sister, Dolly, who is struggling for her life and has been in the hospital for three weeks and two days.

Wednesday when I arrived at the hospital at about 10:30pm as sedated as she was, her eyes opened immediately when I held her hand and talked to her. It has been a heartbreaking experience to see her like this. She cannot talk because she has three tubes down her throat but she spoke volumes to me with her eyes. I held her hand all night and she responded at least a couple of dozen times by opening her eyes and squeezing my hand while I talked about all the things I knew would lift her spirits. She is such a wonderful, optimistic, loving woman and she has not had an easy life. I hate to see it end this way for her but she is not in pain and there is still a little hope.

She is now in a machine they call Roto Prone. Noel, her husband, Doug, my brother, and I met with the doctor yesterday and agreed it was our only option. I saw her in it for the first time an hour ago. My heart just sank. The chances she will survive are so slim, I just don’t know if this is was the right decision. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. She is still alive, literally, but she may already be gone even if they do manage to keep her alive. She is not paralyzed but she is so heavily sedated they assure us that she could never become conscious or aware of what is happening. I pray that is true. The machine is huge and a nurse sits in front of a computer that continuously  turns her. It looks like something out of a science fiction movie. She is strapped down like a mummy and her head is incased in a helmet size container so I can see her eyes, mouth and chin. They have lowered the oxygen, which is good. Her vital signs are improving, which is also good. Initially they told us they should know something in a couple of days, but now they are saying it could be four or five days. I asked the nurse what was the average time someone stays in this machine and she said a week. I asked her what was the longest she had seen someone stay in it and she said 43 days. I plan to return to Colorado on Monday and, hopefully, I will have a clearer idea of where she stands by then. And, of course, other things could happen before Monday.

 She almost died yesterday morning. There were ten people in the room doing various things and there was also a doctor on a screen that looked like a TV, giving the orders and controlling the situation remotely. I have never experienced that before. Technology plays such a vital role in every aspect of our lives today but I was unprepared for what seemed like a normal, everyday occurrence to everyone else in the room.

I believe in the power of prayer and I believe in positive energy. This is a website for my business but I am going to put business aside this one time and ask any and all of you who would be so kind as to include my sister, Dolly, in your prayers and thoughts.

My younger, Dolly, has had lupus for 30 years. Three weeks ago she got pneumonia and she has been fighting so hard to get better. A few hours ago I received a phone call from my brother-in-law and the doctors have told him she is not going to survive. I am about to get on a plane to Phoenix and hope to get there before she passes.

Remember to tell the people you love that you love them. You never know when it might be the last time. I told my sister I loved her every time I talked to her the last three weeks. I hope I get to tell her one more time.

I will be out of the office until Tuesday.

My first appointment today is a man, late 30’s, ABS, self employed with a very successful business, his long term goal is marriage and he can go either way as far as having children. He said “It is not that I am indifferent about having children. I believe I could meet a lady where having children would be great, and I believe I could meet a lady where not having children would be great. What matters most is meeting the right lady.” Although he does not have children, he is open to meeting ladies who do have children.

He said “I have no trouble meeting ladies but, obviously I have not met the right lady, and I have been curious about how your business works and what you might be able to do for me that I have not been able to do for myself.”

I said “I can introduce you to serious minded ladies who have invested in my service because they also want to meet the right partner, and I do all the work.”  Then I talked to him about ladies I think are good matches for him based on his scores from the profile  test, ladies who also want to be married, ladies who share many of his interests and activities, and ladies I think he will find attractive who are also good intellectual matches on a compatible income level.

He said “How can you know the type of lady I will find attractive?”

I said “Your height preference is 5’3 to 5’11, your age preference is 30 to 42, you prefer ladies who are slim and fit, and that applies to each of these ladies.”

He said “But someone could meet all those preferences and I still might not find her attractive.”

I said “After 25 years of matchmaking, I have developed a good eye for choosing levels of attraction and once I match you once or twice I will be much more in tune with you and the type of woman you find attractive.”

He said “Why not just show a picture and take all the guess work out of it?”

I said “Because most people do not take a good picture and you will see something in person that you cannot see in a picture.”

After a little more discussion, he agreed to trust my judgment on the first two matches and I agreed to show him a picture on the third match if he does not find either of the first two ladies attractive. I am so accustom to having this conversation. No one knows better than I do how important physical attraction is, and no one knows better  than I do that is has to be there AND is has to be mutual. Everyone knows they have to be attracted to someone but not everyone understands the attraction has to be mutual. People with unrealistic expectations have less options, it’s that simple. I am not implying this man has unrealistic expectations, he is quite handsome.

He enjoys spectator sports, concerts, travel, hiking, cross country skiing, photography, scuba diving, great food and great wine. He especially enjoys cooking and appreciates a lady who enjoys cooking.

At the end of the interview he said he wanted to “think about it” and give me a call in a couple of days.

I said “That’s fine, I never hard sell. Call me if you have any questions while you are thinking about it.”

Then he said “What the hell, let’s do it now.”

I said “What the hell, let’s do.”

My second appointment might be a good match for the man I just interviewed. She is early 40’s, divorced, highly educated, successful in a career that she loves, and her long term goal is marriage. Her story is one that I have heard many times. Right after her first marriage ended, she met a man who swept her off her feet. She did not feel she was even ready to date but everything seemed so perfect she found herself in love, and was sure she had met the perfect man. Now she is ready to do what she should have done when her first marriage ended, date, have fun, make friends and explore her options.

She is very fit, beautiful, and very sweet. On a scale of “0” to “10” in temperament, she is an “8”, very compassionate and kind hearted. She works out several times a week, loves to cook, skis, enjoys hiking, travel, and taking her kids to participate in their sports activities.

I am excited to have her as a new client and excited to introduce her to men who have as much to offer her as she has to offer them.

FYI, if you find yourself being swept off your feet by someone remember two things; the ones that start fast, end fast, and if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

My first appointment today is a man, mid 60’s, divorced, educated, grown children, and his long term goal is marriage. He is quite the interesting fellow. He was born and raised in the United Kingdom but he has been coming to the US consistently since he was in his 20’s. He has been in Colorado Springs for a couple of years but he travels frequently for business and pleasure. He thinks nothing of packing his bags to go visit a friend for a few days at the spur of the moment, even if that friend lives in France. He has friends and connections all over the world.

I asked him what he likes to do for fun and he said “Chew gum, get drunk and chase girls, and that’s before breakfast.” He is very funny and has a number of great one liners. His interests and activities include travel, reading, music, theaters, concerts, plays, polo, skiing, dancing, local history, American history, and he loves to cook.

He asked me if he could talk to someone who is currently a client before he made the decision to join. I said “Of course, but I will obviously connect you with someone who will say marvelous, complimentary things about me and my service.” He said “I can appreciate that, but I have some questions for the person who has been on the other side of this process that you cannot answer.” I agreed and immediately knew who I would ask to talk with him and told him her name. I called her as soon as he walked out of my office and they spoke tonight and he is coming back next week to become a client. Sometimes you have to go the extra mile and in this case I knew he would be a new client. I just had to put the icing on the cake.

My second appointment today is the two ladies who are best friends who wanted to come in for the interview together. One of them is 34, ABS, and her long term goal is marriage. She has always been single but she has a young child. The conflict in matching her is her weight, and we talked about that over the phone before she booked the interview. However, another conflict is that, although she has a child, she does not want to meet anyone who has children and she does not want any more children.

I said “It is unrealistic for you to expect to meet someone who does not have children when you have a child, and if they do not have children, they very likely will want children, or prefer to meet someone who does not have children.”   

She said “I don’t like kids. I never wanted kids, and I love my child but I don’t want anyone else’s kid in the picture.” I told her I had no matches for her but I will hold on to her paperwork and if I have someone I will give her a call. She said “I am not surprised. I did not expect that you would have any matches for me.”    

Her girlfriend, however, is early 30’s, ABS, tall, thin, active, her long term goal is marriage and children. She enjoys reading, hiking, snowboarding, swimming, concerts, theater, and travel. She travels outside the country once a year and has visited Germany, Spain, Italy, and Greece. She does the incline, 5K’s, and is a vegetarian. She has done the “Dirty Girl” and is going to do the “Warrior Dash”. She is very open on her preferences and will even meet men who are shorter than her if they are comfortable with her height. She is open to all races, she does not mind if they have kids, as long as they want kids, and she is very, very sweet. She is now a new client.

My third appointment is a lady, mid 40’s, divorced, highly educated, a teacher, and her long term goal is a serious relationship, possibly marriage. She loves to hike, run, and work out. She enjoys reading, rock climbing, the beach, home improvement, and is training to do the Pikes Peak Ascent. Her sister was a previous client and she referred her to me.

I have some great matches for her and she is excited about being a new client but she is quite shy and very nervous about meeting new men. I said “Look, I do all the work, all you have to do is agree to meet them for one hour and call me with your feedback.” She said “I can do that.” I told her to take three deep breaths before she gets out of her car to meet them and, if she is feeling nervous say “I am nervous.” Then you don’t have to pretend you are nervous and they will almost always say something like “There’s nothing to be nervous about” or “I am nervous, too”, but at least you don’t have to pretend you are not nervous. I really empathize with shy people. It is so much harder for them than us outgoing folks who can walk into a room with a hundred people and mix, and mingle, and be comfortable. I don’t have a shy bone in my body, being a “9” on a scale of “0” to “10” in sociability, but I have definitely come to understand how difficult it is for shy people to meet someone new for the first time, and I do whatever I can to make it more comfortable for them.

Tomorrow I have two appointments, a man, late 30’s and a lady early 40’s. The beat goes on…..

Happy New Year! I enjoy the holidays but it is always fun for me when they are over. January is almost always my busiest month in business because “doing something about my personal life” is right up there on the list on New Year’s resolutions with “losing weight”. A new year, a new start, a new approach to finding someone special.

My first appointment is a lady, mid 40’s, divorced, one grown child, and her long term goal is marriage. She originally met with me over ten years ago. She decided not to participate at that time but after off and on dating with the online services for much of that time she has decided to let me help her. Her complaints about the online services are the same ones I hear all the time; time consuming, ineffective, people are not honest, they do not look like their pictures, and they live all over the country. She said “Doing online dating is like a part time job, it takes so much time.”

She travels during the week with her job but she is home on weekends and, in spite of all the traveling she does, she loves driving and taking road trips. She also enjoys spectator sports and has season tickets to one of Colorado’s hockey teams. She likes camping, fishing, gardening, bowling, dancing, music, concerts, comedy clubs, cowboys, and county fairs with greasy food and beer.

In her Ideal Relationship she wrote “My ideal relationship would be with a man who respects and cherishes me as a lady, a companion/friend and lover. We will treasure family values and have each other’s back. I think flirting with one another, PDA and romance should never get old. We will not take everything that life throws at us too seriously….there is always time for laughter.”

She is tall, blonde, and beautiful with a great sense of humor. She wants a manly man who can swoop her up in his arms and make her feel safe and protected. I’m thinking the John Wayne type would probably do just fine.

My second appointment is a man, mid 40’s, divorced, grown children, and his long term goal is marriage. I said “Have you dated since you have been divorced?” He said “I have never dated.” He met his wife right out of high school and he has not dated since he has been divorced. He was very open and forthright with me about the fact that he has been working on some of his issues the last couple of years and is just now feeling ready to date. I always appreciate someone who takes responsibility for their part in why the marriage did not work and he has definitely done his homework.

He said “I feel like I have been in a fog the last 20 years, just letting life pass me by, and now I want to find the right lady and do the right things to have the right relationship.” He is a little shy and he knows he can use some help when it comes to dating. I said “Well, you have come to the right place, because after 25 years, I do more counseling than matchmaking.”

He wants to think about it for a couple of days and get back to me. My gut feeling is he will be back.

Tomorrow I have three appointments but four people coming in for interviews. Once more, I am going to interview two girlfriends at one time. I asked the lady who called for both of them where she heard about my service and she said “I have been listening to your commercials since I was a little girl.” Suddenly I felt very old. I said “How old are you?” She said “34.” She was 13 when she first heard my commercial..yikes! The other two appointments are a man, mid 60’s, and a lady, mid 40’s.

It will be a very interesting day.

My first appointment today is a lady 50, divorced, educated, shared custody of two children, her long term goal is a serious, committed relationship and she would consider marriage. She had one relationship since her marriage ended and he was considerably younger than her. Her age preference for a man is 40 to 50. Once again, ladies are now doing what men have done forever and preferring to date younger, sometimes MUCH younger, than themselves. She said the same thing I often hear from men who prefer to date younger ladies “I am just more attracted to younger men and I want someone who can keep up with me.”

She is fit, pretty, very active and looks much younger than her age. A younger man could easily find her attractive but I hate to see anyone, man or woman, limit themselves because of age. Age is the least important thing if everything else matches and you find each other attractive. She enjoys hiking, camping, gardening, rafting, dancing, snorkeling, traveling, dining out, biking, entertaining, movies, music, concerts, symphony, reading, meditating and writing. On the activity survey next to “wrestling” she wrote “it depends on the location.” She also has a great sense of humor. She appreciates a sharp dressed man who dresses crisply. She also enjoys working around the house and said “I would rather go to Home Depot than a clothing store.”

She would like to meet a man who can take off and go traveling for 10 days to two weeks. She said “Some adventures on my bucket list are walking the Great Wall of China, a safari in Kenya, and sailing the Caribbean.”

She will be a fun and exciting mate for the right man.

I am going to go to Carbondale for Christmas to be with my oldest daughter, son-in-law, and two grandsons. Ironically, they have no snow there and I have about nine inches where I live. It is usually the other way around.

I normally take this next week off but because I am going to be back in town on Monday I am going to extend my 50% off all my programs on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. That will definitely be the end of the discount until next December.

I wish for everyone a very Merry Christmas and I hope you are enjoying it with family and friends!

My only appointment today is two ladies, one late 40’s, the other mid 50’s, best friends for many years. I interviewed them together last week and they came back together tonight to join. They bought each other the gift of Perfectly Matched for Christmas. Their stories are so similar. They were married the same number of years, got divorced at the same time, and have children the same ages.

The first lady is mid 50’s, educated, one grown child, and her long term goal is marriage. She has had one short term relationship since her marriage ended but she is definitely emotionally available and interested in meeting some quality, compatible men. She enjoys golf, running, biking, hiking, theaters, concerts, and cooking is a passion.

The second lady is late 40’s, educated, one grown child,  two children at home and her long term goal is marriage. She has not dated for almost 30 years but she is excited to start dating and move on with her personal life. She enjoys skiing, cooking, hiking, gardening, theaters, concerts travel, sporting events; especially the Bronco and Rockies games.

She was the one who encouraged her friend to check out Perfectly Matched. The two of them have been through so much in the last 25 years and I am very happy that I will be able to help them both move on with this important part of their lives and share this experience with them. Not surprisingly, they have very compatible scores, friends usually do, because we choose our friends because we really like them and have a lot in common with them. It would be nice if we could choose our romantic partners the same way, but that “chemistry” thing very often leads us astray.

I had a voice message from a client today which said “Donna, I am calling to tell you can take two people permanently off your clientele list. Why, you ask? Because we got married yesterday. Thank you for everything, your patience, your guidance and helping us find each other.” This young lady became a client in May 2007. I matched her with him in April of 2010. It took three years and 14 matches for her to meet him and it took three weeks and two matches for him to meet her. He was referred to me by his best friend who met and married his wife through Perfectly Matched over 10 years ago.

He said “My friend has been trying to get me to call you for years.” I said “What took you so long?” He said “I just thought it would happen.” I am sure he is glad today that his friend kept telling him to call me.

She is one of the sweetest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with and the road to finding him was not always easy or fun. I cannot count how many conversations we had where I would eventually say something like “Hang in there, it only takes one right one” “You must believe he exists” “I won’t give up if you don’t give up”.

 My last note on her feedback before today’s message was 11-30-10. She said “We have been together seven months and we have never even raised our voices with each other.
