We all have our fairshare of bad dates! Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte recently speaks out about his not so winning date- calling her a “dud”.
Our take: the worst feedback is NO feedback.
It didnt work out- at least he was honest! What do you think?
“Know when to bring in the professionals” say my friends at Blush Vancouver. Their Zest column explored with me in a recent article, My Quest to find Love for those that seek it!

Snogging, smooching, necking—whatever you call it, everyone’s doing it. Or are they? 10% of the world don’t partake in kissing at all!

Do you update your relationship status on Facebook? We heard about a study that showed 54% of people lie about their relationship status on social media. It also said that 77% of the people on internet that post they are single, are actually in relationships! And get this, the other 23% of people that say they are in a relationship… ARE LYING!!!
Here’s what we think of them and the message they are sending……
- I still want to be open to others
- I’m looking to have an affair through social media
- I’m embarrassed by my relationship
- I don’t think the relationship is serious enough to broadcast it yet
- I want to keep my life private

After numerous health problems and maybe a few divorces behind you, it would be fair to say you have experienced, good or bad, quite an interesting life. Here is some insightful information taken from introducing thousands of 60 something singles on gracefully starting over in the dating scene for the next third of their life.
Relationship or Fling?– Most 60 and older singles are looking for a relationship filled with fun, companionship and intimacy (ahem …sex). Not to say marriage is goal, but if the relationship is wonderful – marriage follows.
What are most looking for?– This needs to be divided into 2 categories, what women want and what men want. Women more than often have their own economic and social standing. They are now able to select the man that they want rather than having to choose a man for financial support or social status. Men want a companion with whom to enjoy their golden years. Some want friendship-not sex. Some want sex, and lots of it.
Are all the good ones taken?– While most sixty-something’s tend to opt for modest outfits, today we find most refuse to let their 60 something years define their dress code and lifestyles. Your appearance can make the statement that you respect yourself. Those who can and will are the undiscovered gems. They’re the good ones-not yet taken. Stats say that 54% of the population is single and over 70% of people over 60 and are single date regularly, so that means every day a new crop of potential “good ones” comes on the market…..it’s never been a better time!
If you are re-entering the dating game, the old tried and true method of introductions by friends and family still works, although hiring a Matchmaker can’t hurt!! It’s safe because someone you know and trust, knows and trusts him/her. We call this the credible introduction. I urge all “mature” singles to just get out there or contact me , it’s not as hard as you think!

If you’re currently looking for love and not including Single Dads in your search, you need to read on. You’re not likely to stumble upon a more selfless or loving guy than one who has raised his kids on his own (or mostly on his own). But hey, don’t take it from us, take it from the guys themselves. Here’s a few quotes from what our single dad clients had to say, about their best reasons why you should date them!
-
He moves slowly into dating and relationships.
“I got a lot on my plate, and definitely not sitting around swiping left and right on Tinder. Nor do I have a desperation to rush into things, the most important persons are my kids”
That means you may have to take things slow with any guy you date who has kids — but that’s a good thing.
- It’s not all about him.
“My kids have a wonderful way of putting things into perspective. If I am going to be the best dad I can be, it isn’t about me” Who wouldn’t appreciate a man who has learned to be selfless to a fault?!!
-
He’s Responsible.
“I’m fully plugged into my kids’ lives, I accept the obligations and I don’t bad-mouth their mother” That guy will probably be the best guy you’ll ever meet!
- He’s Sensitive.
“I’ve got little girls and have spent afternoons getting my nails done- sure takes a lot of strength to be soft” If you’re the hand-holding type, you’re definitely in luck, he’s more comfortable with physical touch, who wouldn’t be ok with that!!!!
- He’s playing for keeps.
“The last thing I want to do is introduce someone to my kids, only to have that person disappear down the road” He’s not looking to just hook up, and when you think about it, that’s about as good as dating ever gets!
I am so excited to support the beautiful loving initiative of my new friend, Wendy Williams Watt …YOU ARE LOVED NOTES
I left today armed with my homework and blank pieces of paper and I am passing it forward to my “loving Matchmaker tribe” to handwrite YOU ARE LOVED- on every one of them, for her to give out at the end of July to 50 Thousand open hearts during PRIDE in Vancouver BC.
For those of you who wish to write notes with us this week, please drop by our office, and know that Wendy plans to hand deliver them to as many hearts and palms as possible. We know this first hand—there is always someone waiting to hear they are loved! Big Love Ball Wendy Williams-Watt
