Matchmaker Matchmaker

Matchmaking is the hardest job in the world. Easier to open up a pet store. In a NY minute, you fall madly in love with your pet for lifetime of unconditional love. Most people love their pets more than they love their people.

I absolutely love this podcast! The host does such a great job creating meaningful, engaging conversations that feel both personal and insightful. Each episode offers something valuable, whether it’s a fresh perspective, helpful advice, or great reflections. Highly recommend!

i am puzzled how many of the participants expect to or want to feel “turned on” by those they meet. and my question to them is how did that method of picking a partner work for you in the past? how much time did the sexy partner get before s/he became a jerk? if by a number of dates there’s not even an inkling of romance, re-evaluate. 43 yrs ago my husband called me for a date and reminded me we had met at a graduate school party. i did not remember him and i said so. he skipped over that and invited me to a baseball game. (most people have watched enough sports to get that there is a ball, usually, and you keep your eye on it and i actually liked baseball )That was an excellent first date—focus on the game a little on each other a little. Had i remembered him from the aforementioned party —vaguely as i watched him walking up the sidewalk to my apartment. i did notice that his clothes were wrinkled —a minor distraction. within a month the deal was signed sealed and ready to deliver to the huppah —-two years later one helpful trait both of us seemed to have was to be oblivious to what each of us thought were our own detriments i am 71 and married to my besherit for 41 yrs. a new (young) friend saw our wedding picture and commented that she never would have recognized us from our appearance now! i told my husband and we both laughed—each of us thinks we look exactly like that 41 yr old photo. our courtship is a long, sometimes difficult story (i was not born Jewish—now i have been living almost twice as many years as a Jew).

This is an honest podcast that answers questions from two people’s points of view instead of just one and you always learn something that makes you think and see things about relationships with a new and positive perspective. After listening to this, the world of dating doesn’t feel so daunting anymore. Very refreshing!
