“Everything you want is on the other side of fear.”~~ Jack Canfield
There is something unmistakable about the month of May. The air feels lighter, the days stretch longer, and everywhere you look there is a quiet sense of renewal. We are entering a season that invites reflection–but more importantly–prompts action. Action strikes when the level of dissatisfaction with the status quo becomes no longer acceptable. Think about weight loss. We often don’t make the changes we need to until the pants don’t fit, right? Taking action will give you back ownership, especially when you make the decision and do it…the results come with time, but you know if you stay on track, there is no way you can fail. Dating is foolproof — if you do it right. You will find your person. You can find your person and they are likely looking for you too!
As top matchmakers, we believe that change has a rhythm, and spring is when it begins to awaken again. We thank you for spending time with us today, and as always, do share this column with someone you know who could use a morale boost. Let’s face it, people need people.
Heading into summer is the perfect time to lick our wounds, pause, and ask ourselves an honest question. Are you where you hoped to be in (romantically and socially) this year? For some, the answer is “yes,” and we celebrate you. For others, there is a lingering sense that something is missing. Not failure. Not defeat. Just…unfinished possibility…an emptiness. There is power in knowing where you are in life and making adjustments in your personal pursuit of happiness. Stop the train, sit, and evaluate yourself. Where are you in life, and where do you want to be moving forward?
The connections you begin now, the introductions you accept, the conversations you lean into are the ones that will carry you through summer and take root by fall. By the time the holidays arrive, those who chose to act in the spring are rarely still searching. In other words, timing matters more than people think.
Yet despite this, so many singles remain stuck in a holding pattern. Not because they don’t want love, but because modern dating has made the process feel confusing, impersonal, and at times, exhausting. Digital destruction sets in. The endless cycle of swiping, messaging, and wondering “what if” has created a culture where people are constantly searching, but rarely connecting in a meaningful way. People are sick of it–and searching for “real” matchmakers, and lucky for you, the most established matchmakers in the USA happen to be headquartered in your backyard. We are real, tangible, and our successful track record is miles long.
So get clear on your goals and desires. Understanding your “why” in dating is important. For some, it’s companionship—a partner to share dinners, travel, and life’s everyday moments. For others, it’s a deeper vision: marriage, family, building a future together. Whatever your reason may be, it deserves intention and action.
Love, despite what modern culture suggests, is no longer something that happens passively. It requires a decision. It requires presence and an open mind. Finding love and companionship requires stepping outside of your comfort zone. What is the alternative? Getting older alone? (This should not be an option.)
As agents of change, we have spent decades refining an approach that brings people back to traditional dating values: personal, thoughtful, and grounded in real human connection. There are no algorithms deciding your future. Your profiles are not circulating endlessly online (designed to keep you single). Instead, choose a deliberate process—one that begins with truly understanding who you are and what you’re looking for, and continues with carefully curated introductions designed to align with that vision. We put the chivalry back in dating and courtship. We believe in and thrive on getting to know someone privately in real life…slowly…like we used to before the internet.
So what’s next? It is easy. Call. Start. Meet. You are one step away from a completely different life.
First, we would meet you face-to-face in our beautiful office, where we have been since 2014. We create real connections that don’t begin with a swipe, but with a conversation. Most importantly, this personalization restores an emotion that has been quietly lost in the current social climate: confidence in the dating process. When you know that the people you are meeting are vetted, aligned, and equally serious about finding something meaningful, everything changes. The pressure fades. The guesswork disappears. Opportunities simply show up—and they stick.
If you’ve been waiting for the “right time,” consider this your signal and run with it. You are the governor of your life and you hold the keys in your hand. Join the adventure with us.
We are honored to be part of so many love stories, weddings, and new babies, and we remain deeply grateful for the trust our clients place in us. This is a responsibility we don’t take lightly—and we continue to be inspired every single day.
Action relieves anxiety. With that, are you ready to say “yes” to your dreams? If so, we look forward to meeting you. Happy Mother’s Day to all of the fabulous women out there, and do mention code MOM2026 when you speak to your matchmaker for the first time. Gentlemen, we know you follow the ladies, so I am sure we will be booking solid all month long. Reserve your first private appointment today!
XOXO,
Kelly & Miranda
