A Conversation with Arlene Washburn Dating and Relationship Coach EP: 11","description":"What\u2019s love got to do with it, you ask.  According to my latest guest, Arlene Washburn, a heck of a lot.  But, it\u2019s not the kind of love you might think.  It\u2019s not the love you find with another; it\u2019s the love you have for yourself.  As Arlene describes in our conversation, when you fall in love with yourself first, it will be easier to find the romantic love you seek.  Arlene was a highly-sought out executive matchmaker when she realized that many of her clients lacked the first element to finding that perfect mate:  the self confidence and appreciation for themselves that others would find attractive.  She wanted to maximize every opportunity for her client\u2019s true personally and positive traits to shine through. But how to help them do that?  That\u2019s when she struck upon the idea that in order to support  her matchmaking she needed to add a coaching component to her work. And her science-based Get Real, Get Love Coaching System was born.  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. \u201cTo 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\u201d says Arlene.  \u201cFrom there,\u201d she continues, \u201cfocus on setting realistic expectations.\u201d \u201cOnce 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.\u201d  To find out more about Arlene, her matchmaking and coaching go to: www.AVConnexions.com  www.GetRealGetLove.com www.LifePastDivorce.com Arlene on YouTube   To contact her:  arlene@avconnexions.com   ","author_name":"Help Me 2 Understand","author_url":"http:\/\/helpme2understand.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
