exclusive couples

Third time’s a charm….

Exactly one year after being matched to each other, this beautiful couple tied the knot this past weekend. 

It was the third Linx match for each of them… 


Her first date feedback included: “it was easy to talk freely and openly with him and just to be myself…the entire night felt comfortable, enjoyable, and just ‘right’.”


As happy as I was to hear this feedback, I couldn’t help but recall that it was not easy, at first, to get her to even meet this gentleman.


When I had initially presented his “baby bio” to her last August, she had reservations and was inclined to take a pass on him. I had to do what felt like an intervention with her (emails back and forth and phone calls) to make her see  *why* I thought he was an excellent fit for her. She had come to me to help her find love, but was she ready to truly “let go” and trust my judgment and that I had her best interests in mind?


Since she was on the fence about meeting him, I suggested we add an extra layer of vetting and do a deeper dive of offering her the chance to ask him some questions. She developed a list of questions and I emailed them to him. Once I received his response, I emailed her back.

Although she really appreciated his rapid response and answers, she still wasn’t satisfied and wanted more answers from him before committing to a first date and using up one of her “official” Linx matches per her contract. 


More phone calls, more emails and finally… she said yes! 


I remember being very concerned about their meeting over Zoom (due to Covid) and suggested in person, outside, distanced, at a nice restaurant. Zoom can be so flat and impossible to detect chemistry! They listened, had such a great time, and stayed so long that they nearly closed the restaurant down. 


After a handful of dates, he shared the following feedback with me: “we can’t get enough time with each other and I am loving every minute of it.  I’m ready to be taken out of your Linx database and hope to share some more milestones with you in the future.”  


I am so lucky to have matched this exceptional couple. Based on their geography, backgrounds, and a myriad of other criteria, I can firmly state that I know with 99.9% certainty that their paths would have never crossed had it not been for Linx. 


They stayed steady with the “3” theme and became exclusive after 3 months, got engaged 3 months after going exclusive, and had a quiet wedding ceremony 3 months from the date of getting engaged.

This past weekend was a celebration with loved ones….surely a very very lucky day that could have hung delicately in the balance and never happened had the Linx process not been permitted to work its magic. 💫

A few of my favorite things

Valentine’s has come and gone. I have gotten word of new exclusive couples and couples that are traveling together. I received very sweet messages in the snail mail and email, chocolate gifts, and other kind cupid day sentiments from clients.San Mateo-20130212-00937Pink orchids, purples, and reds grace the Linx office this week.  San Mateo-20130218-00966A sweet card in the mail for Valentine’s from a lovely Linx gentleman client

This week is a busy one at Linx. We had a full work day on Presidents Day and tomorrow is nuts at our offices with three interviews and a prospect screening. I have a girl flying in from LA for her interview and she gets to already have a date tomorrow night.

I had one amazing on paper guy flake out today from his interview which was a real bummer but I gather he isn’t ready to commit. When someone is one foot in and one foot out of our process, it is best for them to wait till they are two feet in. Although it would have been such a pleasure to have this dynamic CEO in Linx, as they say…it is all about timing. San Mateo-20130212-00939Onto fun news….Linx is officially trademarked with the United States Patents and Trademark Office. It was many years in the making and today I got my official certificates with registered numbers for: Are You Linked? Linx Dating, and Link & Drink.San Mateo-20130218-00967CNN should be airing this week and I will keep you posted of that too. CNN was an interview from December and they also featured a fun mixer too. I am super excited about it and naturally very curious as to how it turns out.
