In this blog we take a question from a reader of our Newsletter, “Kelleher Connections”, and have one of our Matchmakers answer it. In this instalment we’ve tapped Molly Davis, who has been heading the matchmaking team at Kelleher International for the past 15 years.
This months reader asks:
“I’m divorced and I stopped dating 10 years ago. I’ve been spending this time building up my career and getting my children through college. I’d like to start dating again, but I have no desire to be catfished online. What’s a lady to do?”
Molly replies:
“After dedicating so much time to your career and children, it’s an exciting moment to have space to focus on yourself, and we love that you value transparency! That’s one of the top reasons singles turn to matchmaking: they want to prevent unwanted surprises and be intentional with their time and energy. Getting ahead of the “catfishing” pitfalls creates a launching point for the right kind of discoveries. As matchmakers, we do the verifications so you can focus on the lighter, more romantic side of dating.
To prepare for your re-entry into dating, think about what you’d like this next chapter to look like. Are you hoping to casually meet new people, find companionship, or pursue a committed relationship? Consider what matters most to you now, informed by everything you’ve learned about yourself over the past decade. What are you excited to bring to a relationship, and what qualities would you love to find in a partner? Most importantly, give yourself permission to enjoy the process. This is a unique season of rediscovery, and it can be every bit as rewarding as finding the right person.”
