Matchmaker marries client

It is said that San Francisco is ranked the number one best city to be single…
… If you want to stay single. - Especially if you are a single mother. A lot of men don’t want a woman with kids and it doesn’t matter how lovely your child is. When a guy has a line of twenty-eight year old, never-married, hotties knocking on his door, a single mom approaching forty can look like a lot of baggage, and I was no exception.
I was a divorced mom navigating the dating scene in arguably the most difficult city to find love. I knew that if I wanted to get a good man I had to get a plan and be proactive. I needed to find the diamonds in the city and create close intimate relationships with the winners. I needed a really great guy with a great attitude who would love me and take me away from the drudgery of dating. I needed…
… To become a matchmaker. What better way to weed out the duds and find the diamonds then starting my own matchmaking company? What better way to get inside the locker room and become one of the guys?
It worked. Men were coming out of the woodwork. Handsome and successful, they were great catches and looking for love. I hit the jackpot. I had access to the best of the best, and right at my fingertips. Not only was I becoming a friend, date coach, and matchmaker, to the most eligible bachelors in the city, but also they were knocking down my door and I was helping them find true love.
One client in particular was very intriguing. He was 47, 6’4”, handsome and sexy and had many qualities a girl could dream for. But he could have won a "Razzie" in the dating department and needed a lot of personal date coaching. He wore his heart on his sleeve and had no filter over what came out of his mouth. He literally talked his way out of any chance of closing a deal—with some really great women. I had no problems setting him up with women, but the girls were running for the hills after the first date. He had been married for twenty years and recently divorced, and had no clue how to navigate the dating scene. With good looks, he had no problems getting a girl but inevitably, would blow it. His list of dating tragedies was more of a bloopers of dating disasters. One girl even jumped out of the car before it stopped moving. These women were chewing him up and spitting him out before he could get a second date and I was stuck trying to help him through it.
Now granted, he needed a lot of coaching, and granted he shouldn’t show up with martinis under his belt on a date, but in my humble opinion, these women had no idea that a really great guy was hiding underneath the gaffs and goofs. They had no idea that with a little patience and careful tending this Neanderthal could actually become Mr. Right. I saw a lovable, fun, engaging, sweet, guy who genuinely didn’t know any better. And yes, he was clueless, but he had a great heart and was, deep inside, still a confused little boy just trying to navigate his way in the scary world of adult dating. I had a keen insiders view of this man like none of them. I was his professional matchmaker saw Mr. Right beneath the Neanderthal exterior.
San Francisco may not be an easy city to be single, but women who use their heart instead of their pride, will go a long way in finding their Mr. Right. I turned a Neanderthal into Cary Grant and married him. Sometimes a girl has to be proactive if she wants to get a really great guy for marriage. My only goal now is to help my other clients morph into Mr. Right, and help the women they date see the potential Cary Grant glimmering with in the Neanderthal exterior.
