Matchmaking and Advice

Today I went to lunch with guy friend and a girlfriend. En route to lunch I counseled a friend with some problems. When I got off the phone, my two friends, who were strangers up until today, took turns telling me their problems while I doled out my advice. By pure happenstance, at the table next two us were two of my friends who met through me and are about two years into a happy relationship. My friend said to me that I should start a dating service a la Millionaire Matchmaker, but for broke people and sans the shop for trophy wife quality that I seem to get when I watch the show.

I feel comfortable saying I am directly or indirectly responsible for 4 marriages and a dozen or so happy productive committed relationships, (some which have ended but c'est la vie, not everything ends in marriage and even those end sometimes.) I thought about this for a little bit and realised that currently I'm in the midst of trying to set up a two friends, not with eachother, but now that I think about it, it's not such a bad idea. So why not make it official? I've decided to start setting up blind dates for friends and strangers. If you're single and you're looking for love, not a lay, email me at askalphafemail@gmail.com.

If you haven't noticed, I've also changed the name of my blog. It used to be the name of a column I had in a few websites around the country so I thought I'd kick it old school. In going with the theme of the new blog name, I opening up the floor to give advice to the public. Instead of blowing up my friend's spot, maybe I'll blow up yours.

So to review: Looking for love, holler. Looking for help with your love problems, holler.

And by holler I mean email me at AskAlphaFemail@gmail.com

Love,
