Please think for a moment and

fill in the blank in this sentence:  

             DATING IS  _______.

What is the first word that comes to mind?

The first 10 words?

Do the words you thought of indicate joy?
Or do they reflect your unfulfilled
dreams, anxiety or disappointment?
Does that word conjure up thoughts of cuddling
and companionship, or frustration at the gap
between your hopes and the realities of your
dating life?

For many people, it's a combination of
the two. Whether you're getting back into the
dating game after many years--or you’ve been
“out there” meeting new people for awhile, but
still haven’t found the lasting relationship you
wish for--we can help.

We understand that:

… the idea of meeting strangers can be scary.

… putting yourself at risk of being rejected is
daunting.

…making decisions about relationships can be    
    overwhelming-- and worst of all,

… staying home alone can be lonely.

We believe that:

...the joys of a good relationship are worth the
work of finding one.

...activity (meeting more people, actively dating)
is the key to eventually finding "a keeper."

...the yearning to share your life is healthy
and normal--   and not meant to go unfulfilled.

...there is always hope and life is full of
possibilities.

...you have tremendous power to plan your future.

Through our own first-hand experiences and
working with clients, we have learned that looking
for a mate deserves the same attention, focus
and determination as does looking for a job or
making a career change. It requires your time,
commitment—and a certain amount of confidence
as well. Most of all, we’ve learned that finding
love and a committed relationship is possible.

How can our coaching help you?

First, by helping you take control! You do not have
to put yourself at the mercy of other people, or
chance or Fate. Yes, there’s an element of chance
involved, but you have much more power than
you might imagine. You have lots of options—and
choices to make.

How would you prefer to go about finding a mate?
How do you want to present yourself? What
characteristics are most important to you in
choosing a partner? We can help you through the
process of making such decisions—and support
you as you follow through on an action plan.

Our own story is testament to what we preach: we
met through the internet and married in the Spring
of 2000. It was Connie’s first marriage (at age 48)
and Gary’s second—with his mostly-grown children
in the wedding party. Thus, we epitomize several
of today’s social trends: a woman marrying later,
a man re-entering the dating scene, families
blending to make a new whole.

From personal experience, we are strong believers
in internet dating. We believe it is an amazing tool
that opens new horizons for finding a partner. We
encourage people to consider this method of
looking, and we can guide you through the ins
and outs, ups and downs and the do’s and don’t
of using this method.

Whether or not you use the internet for pursuing a
relationship, we can help you design a search plan
that fits your personality, values and preferences.

What’s most important is getting started—
and believing this will be successful—and
fun! wewould love to help you find a partner.
