Frequently Asked Questions
Is this real?
Yes! One of the most common ways that successful couples meet are through mutual friends or acquaintances.
This program started out as a way to be potentially introduced to someone through extended social circles of friends and friends of friends. A type of “thank you” for those who would set me up with someone who they thought would be a great match and know them on a personal level. I had let friends, acquaintances and colleagues know what I was looking for without much response - but suddenly when I thought up a “prize pack” people began to get more excited about the idea and thus the program was formed.
I have a match for you, now what?
Ask your match if he is interested in meeting via this unconventional format. If he is up for it then shoot me an email and lets see what happens!
Does my match need to know about the incentives?
I think it’s best to be open and honest about why we are all here.
Why five dates?
Five dates is a great amount of time get to know each other, and figure out a better understanding of what both parties are looking for. The purpose of this project is not to just meet a bunch of people for random coffee dates or drinks, but to actually find out if we’re both suited for each other on a deeper level.
Are you a gold-digger just looking for a diamond?
Absolutely not. The notion of a “diamond engagement ring” is to reference my traditional desire to find a relationship that will eventually lead to marriage. Not everyone has those same goals. The final incentive prize is something that I am serious about, and therefore so should the engagement.
You sound super picky, what’s up with that?
I have spent time thinking about who I am and what I am looking for. The criteria is actually pretty open-ended.
The main takeaway is to find someone who has similar values and is looking for the same things that I am. Everything else is a guideline, but of course there is always wiggle room. I am keeping an open mind and so should you. (Unless you do not have a sense of humor… That’s a genuine dealbreaker!)
So the height thing, why 6 feet or taller?
It’s not clear in my picture, but I am on the taller side myself - actually just over 6’ when I’m wearing my favourite heels. I realize that this limits potential matches, but at the same time this particular criteria is a preference not set in stone.
Can I give you some advice?
You could - but I think I have been very open as to why I created this program.
Dating is subjective, lets all remember that. This is a new approach and a way of thinking outside of the box. I’ve tried a few different things, I’ve met some great people, I’ve met some not-so-great people, so here’s hoping that this leads to meeting the right person.
