How this actually works

First, a conversation

Thirty minutes on video, free. I’ll ask about the last three people you dated and why each one ended. I’ll ask what you’re unwilling to compromise on, then ask again, because the first answer is usually the polite one.

At the end I’ll tell you one of three things: that I can help and here’s how, that you’d be better served elsewhere, or that you should come to a Connection Night first and we’ll talk again after.

Then, your values

Love, respect, communication, commitment, a brighter tomorrow. You rank them, and you tell me what each one actually means to you, because “communication” means something different to everyone.

This is what I match on. Two people who agree on what matters can survive a lot. Two people who don’t will run out of chemistry somewhere around year three.

Then, your file

A longer intake. Not a personality quiz. Practical things: what your week looks like, whether you want children, how you handle conflict, what your last relationship taught you.

This is the document I work from. Nobody else sees it, ever.

Then I go looking

Three sources, in this order.

Members. People in the Aligned Hearts app in Atlanta, all identity-verified, all of whom have told me what they’re looking for.

Connection Nights. I run events every month and I meet everyone who comes. A lot of the best introductions start there.

Outside. If the right person isn’t in either, I go and find them. That’s what a retainer pays for.

Then, introductions

Names come one at a time or in small batches, never a list of twenty. Each one arrives with a photo, the relevant details, where your values line up, and a paragraph from me on why this is worth your evening.

You can say no. You should say no sometimes. A yes from both sides and I make the introduction and help you plan the first date.

Then, the honest part

After every date, we talk. Not “how was it,” but what specifically worked and what didn’t. This is where matchmaking earns its money. The second round is always better than the first because I know more.

Most people meet someone worth a second date inside the first three introductions. Some take longer. Nobody gets a guarantee, from me or from anyone else being straight with you.

What I need from you

Be reachable. If I send a name on Tuesday and hear back the following Monday, we lose the person.

Actually go. The introduction isn’t the point. The evening is.

Tell me the truth in the debrief. Especially when it’s awkward. “She was lovely and I felt nothing” is the most useful sentence in this business.
