If you’ve ever dreamed of becoming a Matchmaker or working in the Love Biz, I say—go for it! The world is full of singles looking for love, and if you are someone who has it in your heart to help bring them together, then follow that dream to the fullest.
I have coached hundreds of matchmakers at the Matchmaking Institute, and the first step I always take when working with them is to pinpoint each individual’s personal style. By helping a matchmaker look at their strengths, weaknesses, and personality traits, we are able to work together to discover what style matchmaker they would be most successful as.
Yes—there are different styles of matchmaking! Just like a doctor, accountant, or personal trainer has a specialty or preferred method, every matchmaker has a match style. A matchmaker’s specific style is what sets them apart from other matchmakers, and makes them appealing to a specific set of clientele. Read more
When was the last time you initiated sex?
If you had to think about it for longer than 5 seconds it’s probably been awhile.
Well, here’s some news: the biggest complaint I hear from men is that their girlfriend or wife doesn’t initiate sex enough, or at all.
It’s not entirely your fault. Many women are taught from a young age to have the guy take the lead, pay for the date, plan the date, open all the doors, and make the first phone call. He probably even asked you out on the first date. It would follow then that many women don’t feel it’s acceptable to initiate sex. Ever. Read more
Does this scenario sound familiar to you?
You met a guy. Seems like a great guy. You get to know each other a bit. You start having sex. Things are going really, really well. You don’t want to get too excited but you start to feel like you’ve met someone special.
Then, all the sudden, he sits you down and starts giving you that dreadful speech. You know what’s coming but you don’t want to believe it. “I think you're great…but I see you more as a friend,” he says. He’s pulled away, and now you’re in the friend zone. Read more
September always feels like such a wonderful month to me.
It ushers in a change of season from summer to autumn, retailers begin delivering fall clothing and for me personally, it signifies another birthday that is rapidly on it’s way.
Today I celebrate my 37th birthday.
Though it’s not as significant its predecessors sixteen, twenty-one or even thirty, it still resonates with just as much excitement as the rest.
You see to me, birthdays are not about age or wrinkles, they are more about wisdom and how one has grown.
For as long as I can remember, I usually spend the day before my birthday looking back and reflecting on what I have learned and how I can better myself as I go forward. In that continued tradition, I have looked no further than my own backyard to set up camp.
Today I am on the rooftop of the London Hotel, arguably one of the best views in the city. At sunset, this easily becomes one of the most romantic places in West Hollywood. Definitely remember this as a perfect date spot!
In order to get into the writing mood, I need two things: a good scenic view and a cocktail. Today, courtesy of the London, I am sipping on a “Ginger Blossom” while I take in a near perfect 75-degree sunset.
Juices are now flowing. Read more
Ladies…
I want to tell you something I hope is going to change the way you feel about yourself in the bedroom. For some reason, the media has this stupid attitude towards women and sexuality. If a man is “wild” in the bedroom he’s a hero, yet if a woman’s “wild” in the sack she’s a whore.
But here’s the thing…
As women, it’s perfectly fine to let go in the bedroom. It’s fine to be direct, it’s OK to be sexy, and it’s perfectly acceptable for you to be vocal during sex. In fact, most guys love it. I know I love when a woman lets her hair down. When she’s a little kinky. Maybe even a little dirty.
We’re humans, and we’re sexual beings. It’s how we’re created, and it’s something we should celebrate. The more you relax and let yourself go, the better your relationships are going to be. So here’s what I want you to do… Read more

It should be no surprise to you to hear that social media and the internet have changed the way people meet and date drastically. As soon as you are introduced to someone, your first instinct is to use Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter to learn as much about the person as the site will allow. Gone are the days of having to be on the actual date to learn where someone grew up, where they work, or their favorite places to vacation. Read more
