Love and Matchmaking has been helping clients take back control of their love life for years.

Last year I wrote about Cuffing Season and it's odds of changing with the times, even though it stays relatively consistent year to year, we always have to examine trends and shifts in culture. I’ll explain in a bit more detail what Cuffing is once more for those of you that are unsure what it is.

We had a great time dishing out our picks for first date locations on KTLA news. If you missed tuning in here's a recap...

The holidays can be a magical, sparkly, wondrous time to behold in a relationship. And other times–those single times–walking into a decorated room as a single woman over 50 can make you want to punch Santa in the face. If you fall into the latter category this year, here are some thoughts on how the holidays can be survived, even while single. Celebrate You: Shift your thoughts from celebrating alone, to celebrating you. (I know, easier said than done.) But if you take a few moments to

Do you ever feel like you’re doing the same thing over and over again? Of course you do with every day life routines like waking up, brushing teeth, eating, wash, rinse repeat. The REAL question is, is this routine becoming a bad habit? Is your love life a series of bad picks over and over? Most often we gravitate to our “type.” Maybe it’s tall, dark, and naughty or loads of muscles and has to look like Dwayne Johnson (I mean come on he’s hunky!) We all have our thing but sometimes our thing is

Tis the season to NOT be single! Fa la la la! This is your song now and your daily mantra. We’ve been crazy busy helping singles all over the nation and beyond find love, keep love and make love. It really is the season of giving and we want to give to YOU! Give you the gift of a soulmate. We get it. The holidays are the toughest time of year for singles in search of “happily ever after.” There’s that date you need for the office party, going home to visit the family only to be judged about

Let’s get REAL here, people! So you’ve gotten past the First Date jitters, the Second Date confirmation and now it’s time to see if the physical chemistry is there. Now, don’t get your panties in a bunch. We aren’t necessarily saying you should or have to go all the way on the third, fourth or fifth date, but if it comes to that – well, that’s ok by us!Sex is natural, wonderful, intimate, and honestly can be quite an adventure! Getting to know your body – and your partner’s – is what it’s all

Dating online? Of course you are as are most of the world. It really is a virtual bar and yes it can be just as maddening as going out in person to find love. There are still many candidates to choose from, (most of which you have zero clue if they are going to be great or not) there are still loads of rediculous pick-up lines, and then there’s getting to that moment of “Are you going to ask me out or what?!” We’re exhausted just blogging about it!Wouldn’t it be great to have a magic wand that

“The dog ate my homework.” “I have a stomach ache.” “No, really there’s no school today!” We’ve all used these excuses when we were young and a lot of people STILL use excuses as adults in the world of dating. There are the exceptions when it comes to getting out of a bad date, but when it comes to the important things like planning, transportation, paying etc. – leave those excuses for the kiddos.”Oh no I forgot my wallet!” – Wait, so you’re saying you are going out on a date, trying to fall in

Ladies this one is especially for YOU. Let’s face it women are creatures who love to be wooed, courted, romanced, and, even in this day and age, taken out on a date. Once upon a time men were chivalrous and knew the fine art of “how to take a woman out.” With the rise of technology, this form of courtship has sadly faded. We hear time and time again the popular date of choice is “Hey let’s meet for coffee.” HOLD THE PHONE! Where does it say anywhere that meeting at your local Starbucks equals a

Your ex has left you, you’re a total wreck, you are desperate to get your ex back. So what do you do?? Here are some things to NEVER EVER do to try to get your beloved back. Remember, you broke up for a reason and most often getting back together simply does not work, especially if you’re down this:The Trap – The absolute worst thing you can do is to trap a person simply because you can’t let go. Women- if you think having a baby is going to make him come back to you, you got another thing

When you’re in a relationship and you find that you both are arguing more, or maybe things just feel strained- no matter how under appreciated you may feel, sometimes it’s good to step back and ask yourself “what have I done for my mate lately?” We know… and this isn’t automatic deflection – or giving in. What it is, is gaining appreciation THROUGH appreciation. It’s leading by example. It’s loving how you want to be loved.FOOD – When is the last time you cooked (and cleaned up after) their

There are many ways to keep things spicy in a committed monogamous relationship. As a married couple with kids we are always looking for new ways to reinvent the wheel. One night after the kids were put to sleep we pulled out some board games, poured a cocktail, and turned on some of our favorite tunes.We decided to play Jenga this time. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s the wood block tower that you have to pull a piece out and place it back on top. It’s extremely aggravating but loads of

It’s that time of year when Cupid is shooting his love filled bow, the stores are packed with pink and red hearts and giant boxes of chocolate. Lovers everywhere are shopping for that perfect romantic gift and planning that intimate dinner. However, does anyone think about the millions of singles that are dreading this day? Here’s what to do when you’re single on Valentine’s Day! TREAT YOURSELF- this is the day when you can say “It’s all about ME!” get your hair done, get your nails done, buy

We recently posted a little video on our Instagram dubbing Wednesdays #WhatAboutYouWednesday. Why? WHY NOT! One of the first and most important things to have at the ready when it comes to finding love is YOU.YOU need to be whole within yourself before you can find your other half. Taking time out once in a while to do something fantastic for yourself is important. Believe it or not people can see when a person is lacking self-confidence and esteem. Think of it like a scent that you are giving

The world is made up of everything technology… including finding love. We have moved on from the age old art of matchmaking to signing up and joining one or more dating sites. Even our social networks have become a place to meet that someone special.We create profiles sending out the message “Here I am world, me in all my glory! Now, send me my soul mate!” What happens next? We get TONS, and I mean TONS,of winks, hits and PMs, but they’re ALL WRONG for us! We ask ourselves “WHY?”Here are the

Loooking for love online has become the norm these days. The long lost art of actually getting off the couch and getting all dressed up and looking for “the one” in person has seemed to disappear like the almost forgotten TELEPHONE!

CONGRATULATIONS! You made it through round one! Let’s recap- on your first date, you met in a public place, you didn’t talk about yourself too much, you kept the office at the office, if you have kids you didn’t talk about them, and at the end of the date you had a goodnight kiss.
