Is there a right time to introduce your date to your friends?

Master matchmaker, Paul A. Falzone, CEO of the world’s largest bricks and mortar dating service The Right One and Together Dating explains, “Absolutely. A first date is not a good time to introduce him/her to your friends because you hardly know your date. When you introduce someone you are dating to your friends, what you’re really saying is I like this person and I want you to like him/her too. At least wait until you’ve had several dates and you know the feeling is mutual.”

Falzone reminds singles that although it is not set in stone when you should introduce your date to your friends, it can be helpful to have your friends meet your date relatively early on. Why? Because your trusted, good friends are impartial and will have the ability to pick up on something about your date that may, or may not, be positive which you may have overlooked. It’s also helpful to see how your date responds to your friends.

“For example, you may be so enamored with your date that you may not notice how rudely he is treating the hostess and wait staff at the restaurant, but your friends would surely pick up on it. As your friends would point out to you, it’s only a matter of time before he begins to treat you in the same manner,” explained Falzone.

Navigating the date to friend introduction? Falzone advises singles that there are several things to consider:

• Wait until you’ve had at least two dates before introducing him/her to your friends. That will give you both a chance to get to know each other a little better.
• Keep the meeting casual. Meet for coffee or drinks; dine out somewhere informal; hit the local hotspots; head out to a concert; host a barbecue; go bowling or play pool – whatever you decide to do, keep it casual and try to do something that everyone will enjoy.
• Make the extra effort to put everyone at ease. Avoid intense or confrontational conversation. If the conversation turns less than amiable or your friends really begin to delve into your date’s personal life and past relationships, steer the conversation back to neutral territory and if necessary, politely part ways.

Falzone continued, “When you like someone, it’s only natural to want your friends to get to know that special person. Yes, your friends may ‘interrogate’ your date a little bit, but bear in mind that they are only looking out for your best interest. Wait until you’ve dated a couple times before you introduce them and do so in a fun, casual way.”

DATELINE: NORWELL, MASS…The Right One, one of the world’s largest brick-and-mortar dating services in the country, recently hired Hingham resident Robyn Baker as a relationship consultant.

While officially based out of the company’s Norwell, Massachusetts headquarters, Baker floats between The Right One locations in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, working with prospective clients.

“We’re thrilled to have Robyn aboard as one of our relationship consultants. In addition to her sales and retail management experience, she has some additional qualities that serve her extremely well in getting to know our prospective clients,” said Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating.

Earlier in her career, Baker worked as a forensic scientist for the Massachusetts State Police. While the prospective clients she meets at The Right One are very much alive, she is able to apply more than you might think from her old position.

“As a forensic scientist, you got to know your subject by digging beneath the surface, literally. As a relationship consultant, you’re figuratively looking beneath the surface to see what’s important to a prospective client and how we can help,” said Baker. “What I love about this job is that everybody who comes here is ready for a committed relationship and they’re serious. That makes it all the more rewarding when we help them find that special someone.”

Baker earned a bachelor of science degree in, ironically enough, chemistry from the University of Massachusetts-Boston. She resides in Hingham with her husband and two children.

Master Matchmaker Recommends Taking Kids on Dates

DATELINE: NORWELL, MA… There’s no two ways about it – being a single parent and trying to date is complicated. For single moms or dads who are juggling work with family responsibilities, it often comes down to having to choose between spending time with your kids or spending time with your date.

According to Paul A. Falzone, CEO of the world’s largest bricks and mortar dating service The Right One and Together Dating, “Dating as a single parent can be even more challenging than making a career change. But, you don’t always have to choose one or the other. There’s a third option – bring your child(ren) along on a ‘kid-friendly’ date.”

Falzone recommends single parents bring their child(ren) on a date ONLY if they are comfortable doing so and have been able to get to know their date better. He noted, “If you’ve only been on a couple dates with someone, it’s not the right time. But, if you’ve been dating someone for some time and are comfortable broaching the subject of a ‘kid-friendly’ date – go for it. Your date already knows you’re a single parent and most likely understands your time constraints.”

Falzone, who is the father of two, shares kid-friendly date advice:

• Be sure to consider activities that everyone might enjoy, but that are also age appropriate for the children.
• Check with the child(ren) and your date first, to gauge interest and ensure the day is a success.
• If you decide to go to a restaurant, make sure the atmosphere is casual and kid-friendly.
• Consider going to a playground, mini-golfing or bowling and heading for ice cream afterwards.
• Biking, hiking, sailing, going to the zoo, beach, aquarium or a picnicking the park are “crowd pleasing” activities.
• Amusement parks, water parks and carnivals aren’t just for kids – they bring “the kid” out in everyone.
• Sports it up. Like baseball, hockey or football? Tennis or soccer? Get tickets to a game (pro or amateur) and get in the fan spirit – wear your team hats or shirts, make a banner and so on.
• Rent paddle boats or go kayaking on a lake, river or bay for the day. No need to take on the challenge of level 4 river rapids, just get out and have some fun in the sun.

“There’s no need to take on the role of an activities director with a day-long itinerary. Plan one activity. It also helps to be flexible and have a back-up plan in case that first activity you thought of doesn’t work out. Then, relax and simply enjoy each other’s company for a few hours,” noted Falzone.

In 2009, there are now more ways for couples to get together than ever before—online dating, speed dates, chat rooms, blogs, etc. Yet, with all the new ways and technologies available to help singles meet, it has also made it that much easier to break up with the person you are casually dating. And with all due respect and copyright to Seinfeld’s George Costanza, you don’t need the “it’s not you, it’s me” to get out of a relationship.

Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating–one of the world’s largest brick-and-mortar dating services with more than 60 offices nationwide—has paired thousands of clients during more than 35 years in business. He has also seen more than his fair share of matches not go the distance as well. So, is breaking up with somebody easier now?

Said Falzone, “Yes. Though it’s really not about being easier as much as being up front with people. If you have invested time and money in a dating service or online account, you generally have a pretty good idea about what you want. If dating somebody for a short period doesn’t produce that, most people feel they owe it to themselves to end things and that makes it easier to be direct and say ‘I don’t see this going anywhere’ instead of using a lame excuse.”

Continued Falzone, “Does that mean breaking up with somebody doesn’t hurt. Not at all. Even if you look at it intellectually, it is still a form of rejection, even on a smaller level. So, even though you may have met online and agree, you still should be sensitive to the other person.”

Here are some guidelines Falzone recommends in ending things amiably:

* Stay away from “it’s not you, it’s me” and other clichés – Most people will take the “it’s not you, it’s me” as “it’s all you”. So, just do not use it. If you are not feeling the relationship is going or can go anywhere, just say that. It leaves you both with your dignity.
* Avoid e-mail and text – Sure, it is easier and safer and spares you the hurt look you might see. Do not do it. Even if you write a polite and courteous note, think about how you would feel receiving it—especially in that form.
* Do not say you will call or stay in touch if you will not – Really, all that’s left to say is it was nice meeting you (if it actually was) and best of luck. Unless you really want to remain friends.
* Remain on the high road, even after you break up – Don’t bad mouth or talk derogatively about some one you broke up with to friends, family or other people you know whose paths that person might cross. Even if it was things about his or her personality you did not like, it truly will become about you if you are trashing them after the breakup.
* Be honest but diplomatic – Being honest does not mean being unkind. Remember the old motto, if you cannot say something nice…

Said Falzone, “What you absolutely don’t want to do in any breakup situation is play the blame game. Because in actually, when you decide to breakup with somebody, it really is more about you than the other person. And that is okay to be a little selfish. It’s all part of finding the right one for you, which is a good thing.”
