And the best keywords for your dating profile are…

If you’re single and not online dating, you’re not trying to find your love. The online search for love is just as valid as singles mixers and even going to a matchmaker like me. Of course, you can’t just throw a picture online and add a one-line bio and expect Prince Charming to waltz right into your inbox. Writing your online profile is kind of an art. Much like you put together your resume so you appear to be the right fit for the right job, with your dating profile, you need to appear to be the right fit for the right guy. And that’s why I’m so glad that WhatsYourPrice.com did analysis of dating profiles to find out what words are associated with the most successful dating profiles for women. These are the buzzwords that will make your profile appealing to the most men. I've divided the top 20 words up into categories, because many of them are similar. Read more

Let’s talk dating apps: Which ones are the best?

Let me guess. You’re super busy, constantly on the go and don’t have time to look for love, right? Am I a digital mind reader? Not at all. I’m just a matchmaker who’s very aware of what it’s like to be single these days. After all, I’ve been there too. I know what it’s like to be too busy to hang out in places where you could meet other singles and not even have the time to search that dating site you subscribe to. But thanks to dating apps, you don’t need to actually be at your computer to search for love. All you have to do is download the apps to your phone and cruise for dates during that ten-minute taxi ride or that five minutes you’re waiting for your late lunch meeting to show up. Here are five dating apps for quick and accessible dating. Read more

Love on the network

It’s official. We have moved from the ancient age of meeting people at a bar, club, place of worship, through friends, etc. to the new age of finding love online -- both on dating websites and on social networks. We are a perfect example of the social network part of this trend -- we met on the social network that started it all: Myspace. Now there are about a zillion other social network platforms out there, like Facebook and Twitter, where not only can you let all your friends and family know when you are going to the bathroom, but you can actually meet your soon-to-be wife or husband too! It has never been an easier world to find your mate than the one we live in now. Read more

Finding love after 40

Falling in love after 40: It happens and I can tell you from experience that it’s amazing! There’s something really fantastic about falling in love when you’re mature, secure, and sure of yourself. It feels more solid and there are fewer games. You know what you want and so does he. This doesn't mean that it’s easy. It's far from it. (Anyone remember my dating life on the last season of Millionaire Matchmaker? Not the easiest.) Here are a few pointers to keep in mind if you’re post-40 and looking for love. Hopefully they make the heart hunting process easier for you. Read more

Love the internet

Let's talk about why we’re all here. The internet is the gateway to everything… including love. Yes, it is possible to find love online. The statistics aren’t lying. It happened for us and it can happen for you. We met on Myspace way back in 2005. It started out as a great friendship and blossomed into what it is now a marriage and a Sin Halo! Yes, you will still meet a whole lot of toads and crazy cat ladies, but, as we always say, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet your prince charming. Read more
