But how to help them do that?&amp;nbsp; That’s when she struck upon the idea that in order to support&amp;nbsp; her matchmaking she needed to add a coaching component to her work. And her science-based Get Real, Get Love Coaching System was born.&amp;nbsp; In this episode we discuss-- The differences between a matchmaker, a dating service and on-line dating How time-starved professionals can benefit from professional matchmaking services Why self-love is the first step to finding the perfect mate Realistic dating expectations and how to set them The role mindset plays in dating and how to develop a positive one Why you need to get real to get love Her best dating tips Taking a Love Cleanse And so much more. “To be truly successful in finding your perfect mate, and more importantly, build a happy relationship, you first need to develop self awareness, and appreciate and love yourself” says Arlene.&amp;nbsp; “From there,” she continues, “focus on setting realistic expectations.” “Once you know who you are and what you truly want in a mate (not what society tells you should want), my dating advice becomes simple: Keep an open mind and give the relationship time.”&amp;nbsp; To find out more about Arlene, her matchmaking and coaching go to: www.AVConnexions.com&amp;nbsp; www.GetRealGetLove.com www.LifePastDivorce.com Arlene on YouTube &amp;nbsp; To contact her:&amp;nbsp; arlene@avconnexions.com &amp;nbsp; Help Me 2 Understand http://helpme2understand.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/18887975/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/18887975
