Society has changed when it comes to dating. Swimming the murky waters of society as a single person can often be difficult. Especially if you are looking for a relationship! Time tested methods of meeting "someone special" have always been: bars, friends, and work. That might have worked for your parents and grandparents, but the dating world has evolved.
“Don't mix business with pleasure.”
Consider for a moment, the landscape...Thirty years ago, we knew our neighbors; you could walk up to someone on the street and introduce yourself, or you could go to a bar to meet someone new. Not true today. We envelope ourselves in the bubble of our daily routine-work, gym, dinner, bed. Sure, we go to bars for fun now and then, but we usually go with groups of people we already know. Strangers no longer approach each other out and about the way that they used to.

Ever heard the saying "Don't mix business with pleasure"? The workplace has never been more sterile. Professionalism, security and career have never been pursued more aggressively. What happens if things don't work out with someone you've met at work? Would you leave? Could you continue to work with them? Some employers won't take the risk and have adopted inter-company fraternization policies that discourage co-workers from starting personal relationships. So what do we do?
“Table for Six provides a relaxed and friendly opportunity
to meet other dynamic, engaging singles.”
We never give up! Dating does not work until it does. The next step is to look for alternatives. The biggest change to the dating scene in the last 10 years has been online dating. For all intents and purposes, online dating has replaced what the bar scene was doing in the 70's and 80's. Society had found a new way to get out there and meet people... all at arm's length. With a little effort you could do something about being single! A little more time and you might even meet people from the chat rooms. Where do you go from there? What do you want to know about him/her? Are your goals the same? How do you know it's the truth? These questions play themselves out repeatedly and often, regardless of the way you've met someone. Meeting is just the beginning to starting a relationship. In fact, it's probably the easy part.
If the goal is to be happy in a long-term, committed relationship, then the work has just begun and the clock is ticking. Some people recognize the challenges right away and chalk it up to "casual dating". Others find themselves in 3-6 month relationships that "didn't work out", and still others find themselves a few years older, but much "wiser". With no initial screening and all that wasted time, it's no wonder that 10 years later we have found ourselves yearning to get out from behind the computer!

Match of the Month What Cecilia Says
"Henry and have been calling and emailing each other since we met on our dinner party. We went out to a late lunch last Friday and plan on seeing each other on Saturday morning for an early breakfast. Our schedules are so hectic that we're meeting at odd times, but it's all worth it...'when there's a will, there's a way'. Thank you for connecting with me and arranging for me to go to that dinner on February 4th. You were certainly right about him, he is very handsome and has a great personality. It looks like things are really headed in the right direction for us because so far he has everything that I am looking for in a man."

What Henry Says
"When I got the green light from you, I called Cecilia and I took her to a play. By the end of the evening, we were hitting it off pretty well and it seems best to be with her rather than pursue someone else. After the play, we went out for food and drinks and the subject of dating came up again. She began telling me how she was very interested in pursuing a relationship with me and then I told her that I was going to contact you when I got home and say that I would like to put my membership on hold. She seemed happy with that announcement. We stayed until about 1:00 a.m. and then kept our original plan of meeting for breakfast the next morning. You really knocked it out of the park on my first dinner party! I'll keep you updated on how things go for Cecilia and me."

Matchmaker's Tip
"Give yourself the green light to go out on as many dates as you have available to yourself. It is only natural to analyze the pros and cons of a potential suitor before you meet. On the surface they may not seem ideal, but what's the harm if you are unsure about what the future holds with your date? Investigate every maybe until your gut gives you an 'OH YEAH!' or an 'Oh nooo.'! After your date, take some time to reflect and ask yourself some questions about what you were feeling on your date. Did you feel happy and enjoy your conversations? Did you feel comfortable and confident? What did you learn about this person that made you like them more? By taking the time to date a variety of people and really get to know them before making a decision you will not have to second guess yourself down the line. It is important to be lead by the way that you feel and not by your grocery list. Trust your instincts and you will get everything you want in your partner and more!"
