Looking for Love

If you are looking for someone to spend your life with, it is important to look at the whole person. Be wary of making harsh judgments based on inconsequential differences. On the other hand, it is equally as important not to ignore red flags that could lead to trouble in the future.

For example, it is not uncommon for one to ignore possible shortcomings in a potential partner if they find that person to be remarkably attractive. Things like being rude or having a bad attitude are never acceptable, no matter how beautiful someone may be. “Being rude to people, including the cocktail waitress, is a warning that they are simply not a pleasant human being,” say mother daughter matchmakers and co-owners of Murphy International, Sherri Murphy and Tammi Pickle. Together, they have been helping singles find their way for over thirteen years. Tammi chose Sherri’s husband Bill when Sherri joined with a Los Angeles matchmaker twenty years ago.

The mother daughter matchmakers also say that single women and men agonize too much about dates not having enough shared interests. Research reveals that people with too much in common do not pair up well and manage to burn out of a relationship faster. It’s fascinating to be with somebody who enjoys different things than you do. This presents an opportunity to learn from one another. As Sherri and Tammi say, “…of course you need a few things that you both enjoy doing, but don’t miss out on meeting a fabulous person simply because they play a sport you don’t or they are more educated than you.”

The Murphy International matchmaking team has been offering single women and men guidance for twenty years. They know that locating someone with whom to share your life, even in a big city, can be very difficult. But, by repeating the same mistakes, you are only guaranteeing a bigger challenge when looking for your life partner.

There are a few significant changes you can make in your dating life to help you move towards finding “the one”.
