This is one of the most important things twenty years of matchmaking has taught me.

I can absolutely adore two clients individually.

Both intelligent.

Both attractive.

Both successful.

Both warm.

Both genuinely ready for a relationship.

And I may still think…

No. I would not introduce these two.

That does not mean either person is not “good enough”.

Compatibility is not a ranking system.

It is about whether these two particular human beings are likely to bring out something good in one another.

I wish modern dating culture understood this better.

Someone not being right for you does not make them a bad option.

It simply makes them the wrong option for you.

And there is a very big difference. 💭

OK people… let me take you behind the curtain for a moment.

People often assume matchmaking works something like this:
Same age range. ✅
Both successful. ✅
Similar education. ✅
Both love travel. ✅

Great. Off you go.

Well… no.

If professional matchmaking were simply a matter of matching boxes on two profiles, I probably would have been replaced by an algorithm years ago.

After more than twenty years of introducing successful singles, the question I am really asking myself is:

𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿?

Not whether they could manage ninety minutes over dinner.

Not whether they would look impressive together.

Could their values, personalities, lifestyles and relationship goals actually work?

That is where matchmaking gets interesting.

And much of what I consider before making an introduction will never appear on a dating profile.

I’ve opened up the process in my latest article, 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵.

Because the introduction may be the moment two people meet…

…but the matchmaking started long before that. ❤️

𝗔𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲, 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲𝘀.

And one pattern comes up again and again.

People are often very clear on what they want 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿… but much less clear on what will actually make them happy in a relationship.

I meet people who can describe the perfect height, age range, profession, suburb and lifestyle in extraordinary detail.

But when I ask how they want to 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 in a relationship...safe, supported, understood, admired, desired, respected...that is often where the more important conversation begins.

That is why I keep saying this:

There is a very big difference between knowing what you need in a relationship… and trying to order a partner from a catalogue.

And yes, I know that sounds a little blunt.

But sometimes it really does feel like modern dating has conditioned people to believe that choosing a partner should work like selecting car extras or pizza toppings.

People and relationships are simply not like that.

💭 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲?

So many people hear a message like this and think it means,
“Settle.”

That is not what I am saying at all.

I am saying that when you are looking for a life partner, qualities like kindness, emotional maturity, reliability, shared values and the ability to build a life together deserve far more weight than surface-level specifications.

The real question is not whether you have standards.

It is whether you are prioritising the right ones.

💭What do you think matters most in a lasting relationship?

17/08/2026

𝗢𝗞 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲… 𝗜 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀.
I really do.

After twenty years of working closely with successful singles, I can tell you this with confidence:

The problem is usually 𝗻𝗼𝘁 that your standards are too high.

The problem is that too many people have given equal importance to everything on the list.

Height. Age. Income. Profession. Education. Suburb. Hobbies. Appearance.

Individually, I get it. Many of those preferences sound perfectly reasonable.

But when every preference becomes a requirement, the search can become so narrow that very few people could ever qualify.

More importantly, the checklist can start prioritising the traits that are easiest to describe… rather than the qualities that actually determine whether a relationship will work.

You do not need to lower your standards.

You need to become clearer about 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.

I’ve written a new piece on this topic because I see this issue all the time.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿. 𝗜𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲.

Try this with your partner this week.

Set aside one uninterrupted hour.

No phones.
No television.
No household administration.
No conversations about what needs to be done tomorrow.

Ask each other:
What has been taking up most of your thoughts lately?
What is something you would love us to experience together?
What is one of your favourite memories of us?
When do you feel most connected to me?
What could we do more often to keep our relationship strong?

Then listen without interrupting or immediately trying to solve anything.

Quality time begins with focused attention and genuine curiosity.

You may be surprised by what you discover about someone you thought you already knew completely.

A beautiful holiday can create wonderful opportunities for quality time.

But meaningful connection does not depend on travel, luxury or expensive dates.

It can happen over morning coffee.
During a walk after dinner.
While cooking something new together.
At a local market.
On a Sunday drive.
Over a glass of wine after the phones have been put away.

What matters is not how impressive the activity appears.

What matters is whether you are both present.

The destination can create an opportunity, but the couple creates the connection.

Being in the same place is not always the same as being together.

You can spend an entire evening in the same room while looking at separate screens.

You can eat dinner together while discussing nothing but bills, appointments, work and household responsibilities.

You can share a bed and still feel emotionally distant.

Quality time requires more than proximity.

It requires attention.

It means being curious, listening, sharing, laughing and making your partner feel that they are not simply receiving whatever energy remains at the end of the day.

Quality time is not time beside each other.

It is time invested in each other.

What is one simple thing you and your partner could do this week to genuinely reconnect?

Travelling through Italy and France has made me reflect on the moments that become most meaningful in a relationship.

It isn’t always the grand destination or expensive experience.

It is often the smaller moments.

A long lunch when nobody is watching the time.
A walk through a village while holding hands.
A conversation during a drive.
A private joke.
A beautiful view that you will both remember.

Quality time gives couples the opportunity to step outside their routines and reconnect as friends, lovers and companions.

These moments create more than happy memories.

They strengthen the foundations of the relationship.

When life inevitably becomes difficult, those foundations matter.

The moments you create together become part of what holds you together.

—Trudy

17/07/2026

Here is my challenge for your next dinner together:

Put both phones completely out of reach for one hour.
Not face-down on the table.
Not resting beside your plate “just in case.”
Actually put them away.

Then ask each other three questions:

1. What have you been thinking about lately that we haven’t discussed?
2. What would you love for us to experience together?
3. When do you feel most connected to me?

You may be surprised by what you discover.

We often believe we know everything about our partner. But people continue to grow, change and form new thoughts.

Never stop being curious about the person you love.
