Dear "It" Girl,
Today, I'd like to direct you to some very good dating advice from none other than my bosses- stars of VH1's Tough Love and owners of Master Matchmakers Inc, JoAnn & Steve Ward. Check out their interview with Aol Personals in which they give out some easy tips for increasing the chances of love in your air! You can read it here:http://personals.aol.com/articles/2010/01/22/steve-and-joann-ward-5-tips-to-finding-and-keeping-love/
Of course, I'd like to put in my own two cents! My own rule for first dates: "Don't be annoyingly cliché." Allow me to explain: I think men and women alike appreciate out of the box thinkers who ask them questions that differ from those everyone else asks! I'm sure most can relate to the annoyance of having to answer the same question over and over. If this hasn't happened to you in a dating context, there is probably another area in your life that it has. For instance, did you ever get an injury and quickly grow tired of telling the how-it-happened-story? What a drag!
On first dates, many people talk about work and ask vague questions about each others' occupations. Personally, I would find it really refreshing if a guy could come up with a question about my own career that would not be on my own list of Frequently Asked Questions about the dating industry! (Not to self: Publish that list asap!) Asking common questions makes you seem simple-minded and quite dull at times. At worse, it makes you seem ignorant. If I had a penny for every time someone asked me: "You aren't married. How can you find me my husband/wife if you haven't found your own match?" I would be a very rich woman! To them, I'd like to say "Duh. Just because I am a Matchmaker does not mean I am immune from experiencing the challenges of modern day dating." Or if I wanted to be more elegant, I might quote Matchmaker Samantha Daniels: "Just because I am a matchmaker does not mean I have an express ticket to marriage!".
You can come up with your own response, "It" Girl. Just don't be the annoying one that makes other people generate such responses for you!
Love, Rachel Russo, MS, MFT

The thing about dating is that it all comes down to your mentality, on how you see it. I have had this wonderful dating experience which might be quite surprising for many people who read this.
