Matchmaking I realize that some women like to be swept off their feet with a romantic gesture on a jumbotron at a sporting event, or in a fancy restaurant, but I think romance goes both ways. Every time we hear of a couple that got engaged we automatically ask how HE did it. I asked a same sex couple what happens in their relationship when it comes to proposing. The answer was simple. There are no rules, if someone wants to propose, they do It shouldn’t matter the gender. I understand this is not for everyone so that’s where I come in. I can be the one to do the asking for you! 10 If you are single, divorced, or a widow, you may be ready to get back out there again. I offer a discreet, safe alternative to start the dating process. I am so inspired by many of the women I have met. I went for coffee with an 82 year old who curls, golfs, and volunteers, and I met a 76 year old that loves going to concerts. There is nothing wrong with being single and happy to stay that way, but if you would like to share your activities with someone, then by all means do it. After all - it’s 2018 and the time really is up. I am humbled to be a part of the journey to possibly connect you to your perfect match. Happy International Women’s Day!
