At the moment, I have more male clients in their 40’s to 70’s that I am working with weekly, so this
I hear this from women constantly- “why do men dominate the conversation on the first date”? And, I’ve heard this for over 25 years. It’s not recent. In my old days, running It’s Just Lunch, (a matchmaking service I started in 1991) clients were required to report in after their first date.

Sure, it would be absolutely wonderful if we possessed all these traits---but life is about growth. Success and failure are what define who we are and who we become.Just as no one is “perfect” (and who wants perfect, anyway?) neither are we perfect. I know I’m not. I just read a list the other day of 15 attributes you want in the person you marry---and while I was thinking of my upcoming marriage, I didn’t get close to hitting all 15. When I thought of Jeff, I thought wow, he has all 15. Bu

No, no, no. You can't say that! After all, I want you to meet "the one" and make a great impression.1. The PastEarlier today, I had a call with a new client at 7:30 am. She went on a first

Click above to watch this 2-minute video or read below---I like my videos short, sweet and direct. One of the most requested topics. Messaging. We have all been there, found a person we really like, matched with them, clicked on their profile, and then… suddenly… blank? Uhm… what do I say? Hi? You’re pretty? Is that too much? Let’s just put a simple “Hi”, yes Sent. No Reply? Darn it! It’s alright, you’re not alone in this, most of my clients struggle with messaging. “Messaging and online dating
(From The Notebook) This question comes up daily----as a dating coach sometimes 5-6 times per day when I am online with a client on a dating site. You sent a lovely and uniquely crafted message a few days ago. And it feels like it fell into a black hole. Where is he/she and why haven’t they responded? Ok, let’s start with a fact: According to national research companies (I didn’t use the dating sites statistics as there might be a built-in bias), Pew and Gallup agree that around one in seven
It just may be time to reset the alarm on your dating life. Since we don’t come with factory settings, it’s not as simple as Control. Alt. Delete. And it’s common knowledge that New Year’s resolutions last…. well, not long. The majority of people think about them---but don’t actually write them down and actively pursue them. If they do, they’ve gone to the wayside in a few weeks statistically. So, here’s some ideas to think about as you review 2023 and look forward to 2024: 1. High Yield Tas
So, what are some of the most obvious trends for dating in 2024? 1. Living Apart Together This trend has truly taken off! You may be looking for a committed relationship---but just not cohabitating. According to the US Census Bureau’s study of 2022 dating habits, 3.89 million singles in their 40’s through 70’s are embracing this trend. Have I noticed this with my clients? You bet---read about this later in this article! 2. Settling Down—Differently What does that mean? According
Since we know the majority of New Year’s Resolutions fall to the wayside by the end of January (a whopping 75%), let’s skip them this year regarding your love life! Ok, if you sign up for a long-term gym membership and are paying the big bucks on a one-year contract, you’re more likely to go to the gym…right? Maybe. Plans, resolutions, and strategies without accountability generally fail….so let’s jump right into some 2024 Dating Tips from your dating coach (Just as an aside, online dating ex
According to a recent USA Today study, between December 26 through February 14, it’s peak online dating season. I agree, after going through this season for over 25+ years. More people than ever are looking for a partner during this time of year than at any other point---it doesn’t matter if you’re freezing in Colorado or in sunny California. Dating is hot! Dating someone new during the holidays can be a bit tricky. So, here I go with some tips as a long-time dating coach: 1. Be upfron

And a few other things.... Warmly, Andrea McGinty Dating Coach and Relationship Coach
All day long, as a dating coach, I help my clients with online dating…and hear some interesting perspectives. Today, I am featuring two men who went through the online coaching program with me and who agreed to an interview to share their thoughts, ideas, misgivings, feelings, and advice to others on online dating and the best approach. And, I must make a comment here for my women readers----Some tell me over and over again on weekly coaching calls as we are perusing potential dates online— “O
I go back and forth with shock, surprise, and awe at what singles talk about on first dates. The things I hear as a dating coach. It ranges from reticence to forwardness which can be just off-putting. There’s a balance, friends! OK, now I want you to be you. Not a robot. Not going in with a prepared list of questions. And certainly not to be a wallflower just listening away as your date talks ad nauseam! So, what are the things we need to figure out from what some call “the first meet” and I

Are you ready to throw in the towel? Feeling frustrated and discouraged? Well, hold your horses because there's a little something you might have missed. Studies have shown that most people give up on online dating after just two attempts. But let me ask you this, did you quit golf after two lessons? Did you toss out your tennis racquet? I didn't think so! Now, I've been in the dating game for over 25 years, helping people navigate the treacherous waters of love. I'll even do six coaching calls
