Dating tips for Women and Men

Email Lanie for the new Dating Tips for Women or Men if you don't have them and I will send them to you.

Flowers and Chocolate for budding romances?

How's this for a clever and romantic idea for the computer age? I know of a fabulous woman who is helping launch this new program and thought it was a terrific idea. Below see how she describes Buddy gift.
Welcome to www.BuddyGift.com, where we provide the unique opportunity for online friends or potential dates to exchange gifts while keeping their home address private.We know you may want to send that special someone something sweet or special as you begin your friendship. We place ourselves in the middle of the gift exchange through our patent pending "Opt-In Gifting" process. With this technology we can send a gift to a recipient even if the email address is the only information the sender has to give us. This service also insures that the recipient has the choice to accept or decline the gift and again, knows in advance who the sender is. We do everything possible to protect the identities of both the customer and the intended recipient. Their name, address or any other information will never be made available to anyone other than our partners that participate in fulfilling their order.

Dating Wise Blog on MassLive

New technology and old- fashioned matchmaking. Quite a match. Bud came up with the title and it is perfect, don't you think?
I'm starting a blog on maslive.com and sure hope it becomes interactive. With over half the adult population single for the first time in history, it is important for folks to have the tools for dating so they make healthy choices for themselves.

Mass Match had an exciting 6th year...

Mass Match had an exciting 6th year. Besides the many weddings, engagements and couples beginning to explore relationships, we had four weddings last summer alone. What better news could there be for a matchmaker? Several marriages in the summer and fall of 2007 and once a week now I get news of another happy couple.
But like most people, they were discouraged about dating at one time....hang in there with an open heart and remember that positive energy does attract!

Did you read about us on the front page of the Berkshire Eagle?

Did you read about us on the front page of the Berkshire Eagle? Also a great story in the Ledger...terrific coverage as Mass Match begins it's 6th year--once a week now I hear of another happy couple...and that makes me really happy.

Massmatch on the cover of Parade magazine!

Yes, that was me on the cover of March 12 Parade Magazine, the annual "What People Earn" issue. And yes, I'm not exactly up there on the salary scale. (I think I was sharing the low end with the part-time belly dancer. ) But that's because I want to make love affordable for folks.King Kong and Angelina Jolie made the cover too, but hey, despite their salaries, they don't have the profound thrill of helping people find the right one.

Valentine's Day

To me, Valentine’s Day is a mixed bag and can be a set up by businesses and the media/hype for a day of misery, especially for single folks who would like to be in a relationship. Those who are single need to remember that, for the first time in history, over half the adult population is in the same boat as they are. And many married folks are not in healthy relationships, so it is best not to romanticize or sentimentalize anyone else’s situation. It would be a big mistake to rush into something just so you can receive candy and flowers only to pay a huge price for them down the road.

Once you get in a good relationship, then Valentine’s Day, like any other day, should be a good cause to celebrate. Certainly celebrate as many moments as you can. And in the meantime if you are feeling vulnerable, spend the day with friends and family—the people who love you, or try to do something special for someone else or yourself, as with any other time of stress.
I would advise people who just started dating to make light of the whole notion of Valentine’s Day. We tend to couple off too fast anyway, long before we have time to see if the person we are with really makes sense for us. If everyone is putting their best foot forward, because as Cupid knows, positive energy attracts, then by going slowly and meeting and dating different people, we can use our heads and figure out which of their little quirks we learn about down the road are cute, which are merely annoying, and which are downright unacceptable. Over time we will figure out who makes the most sense for us. We all know that getting out of things is a lot harder than getting into them. So I would not put pressure on the dating life by adding Valentine’s Day expectations to the mix. I would err on the side of going “underboard.”

Mass Match has made TV!

Mass Match has made TV again!
Channel 22 News Jan. 08, and Look for us on Channel 3 News on Valentines Day 2008.
Inside edition Aug.7 touts me and the Parade Mag article. And a photo-journalist from the Hallmark Station came out on Father's Day from Boston a year ago to spend the day with Bud and me and one of our newly-together young couples.
We will be featured along with some others on their New Morning Show -- the date to be determined. The word is sure getting out! Oprah here we come.

New Director of Marketing and Sales...

Mass Match is delighted to welcome Vicky Applebee as our new Director of Marketing and Sales. Vicky is trained as a Certified Matchmaker from the Matchmaking Institute and is a member of the National Board of Certified Matchmakers. She is a graduate of Bay Path College and her background includes Business & Marketing Research. Vicky has been in a successful, happy marriage for over 15 years. She says that her “passionate hope is to have more people in Western Mass be as lucky as I have been to find that special someone".

Inspiring client feedback...

A client (former, now) told me today he'd never been so in love in his life---and he's in his 60's and has had many loving relationships.

And a young couple reported in, they said, too late re their past wedding.

At any age, finding the right person is well worth the time and effort!
