My first appointment today is a lady, mid 20’s, ABS (always been single), educated, her long term goal is marriage and children. She said “I am exhausted from trying online dating. I was spending hours going through all the men who responded to my profile and then I spent hours meeting men who were not even close to good matches for me.”

The first thing I saw when I clicked on my computer this morning was a picture of a couple I matched, holding a sign, standing in front of the beautiful flowers at Bellagio and the sign said “JUST MARRIED!!!!” I knew they were getting married, and that is always a thrill for me, but this couple especially so. I have known her for four years and she fell in love with the second man I matched her with in 2009. He died unexpectedly after they had been together almost a year.

My first appointment today is a lady, early 50’s, divorced, self employed, and her long term goal is marriage. She said “I loved being married!” I said “It surprises me how often people who are divorced say they loved being married. I always have to ask, then why are you divorced?”

My first appointment today is a man, mid 30’s, ABS, (always been single), educated, his long term goal is marriage and children. Although he has always been single, he had a relationship for two years. They disconnected, then reconnected and the relationship lasted five more years. It has been over for a few years, and he has dated quite a few ladies, but no one who had marriage potential.

This is how Perfectly Matched works: All my matches start with six scores (which are on a scale of “0” to “10”) from the profile test; your level of Temperament, how easy going, or not easy going you are, Sociability, Conformity, Affection, Religion and Finance. I look to match you with someone who has scores as close to yours as possible, except for the temperament score. Two people low in temperament will butt heads and fight, and two people too easy going don’t address the issues. Opposites in temperament can balance each other out.
