The Right One PR

With Valentine’s Day coming in the not-so-distant future, many recession-strapped Valentines are wondering what they can do for their sweetie this year. Especially since fancy dinners at five-star restaurants, bouquets of flowers and treating your Valentine to a day of pampering at spa aren’t exactly in a lot of people’s budgets these days.

Still, according to love expert Paul 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–just because times might be tough, it doesn’t mean romance must suffer.

“Valentine’s Day is about love and romance. Somehow that got twisted into how much you spend. Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s truly the thought that counts. And if the economy has made people stop and really put some thought into the little things they can do for that special someone in their life on Valentine’s Day, they’re going to be pleasantly surprised both with how little it costs and the results,” says Falzone.

Here are some budget-friendly, thoughtful gestures you might want to try this Valentine’s Day:

? Leave a “racy” picture on your mate’s cell phone.
? Text a romantic message at a time of day when you know things get rather hectic and your sweetie could use a pick-me-up.
? Leave a chocolate or single rose on your Valentine’s pillow.
? Use a bar of soap to draft a love note on your bathroom mirror.
? Eat in for Valentine’s day with candles providing the only light. Better yet, spread out a blanket and have your meal as a picnic on the living room floor—even better if you have a fireplace.
? Instead of a day at the spa, take turns giving each other back rubs.
? Have a glass of your loved one’s favorite drink ready and waiting for them when they get home. If your loved one likes beer or wine, serve it in a frosted glass—unless they prefer it warm.
? Celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 13 or 15 to make it “your holiday” and not one shared with the rest of the world.
? Pick one household chore your Valentine usually does and surprise them by doing it before they get a chance to (e.g. making the bed). It may not sound romantic, but the thought will most certainly count.

“You know, you keep hearing about the doom and gloom of today’s economy, but it actually presents a lot of opportunities. One is to show the person you love how much by using your imagination and not your checkbook. And that, my friends, is the secret to making Valentine’s Day one he or she will always remember,” said Falzone.

Traditional dating is almost a thing of the past. But there is a lot to be said for meeting a person face to face. Most experts claim that while the online sites may be good for meeting people, it can’t compare to actually meeting someone in person. “The anonymity of many online dating sites may provide a slew of impersonal introductions, but what happens when you get to the next step … meeting them in person?” asks Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating. “The ways of meeting someone have changed, but the rules of behavior have not.” Matchmaking companies do a lot more screening before they match someone. Some dating sites offer virtual dating, where each person creates an avatar and go on a virtual play date online. FULL ARTICLE @ SW TIMES

The Real Cougar Woman Radio was coined by Linda Franklin who has a website, RealCougarWoman.com. Linda focuses on real concerns of today’s Cougar Woman – wellness, beauty and relationships. Linda and her co-host Bonnie D. Graham interviewed Paul Falzone, CEO and founder of The Right One and Together Dating and Mark Brooks, the online dating guru. Paul believes that people want to go back to face to face and there is a trend moving away from online. TRO/TD made an acquisition of a  Love Access which will be changed to eLove.com in the very near future. ” Right now we are converting a lot of online people to the offline centers and giving them a lot more service and it’s proving to be ideal”, said Paul.

Whether it’s in business or your love life, finding the right match is critical. As a brick-and-mortar dating service for more than a quarter of a century, Oklahoma-based Singles Station has helped thousands of couples get together. By signing an affiliate agreement with The Right One/Together Dating, Singles Station Dating Service has figuratively found “the right one” to take their business to the next level.

Under the agreement, Singles Station will fly under The Right One’s banner while remaining The Singles Stations in its nine current market — Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Bentonville, Fort Smith and Little Rock, Arkansas; Nashville and Memphis, Tennessee; Springfield and St. Louis, Missouri; and two future ones in Wichita and Kansas City, Kansas. Singles Station will in turn, utilize The Right One’s systems and technologies, while The Right One works with them in a consulting capacity.

“It may sound like a cliché, but this really is a win-win for both sides,” said Charlee Brotherton, owner of Singles Station Dating Co. “With The Right One’s technologies and systems, we’re better able to serve our existing client base and attract new members. By being an affiliate of The Right One, we give them coverage in markets where they do not have offices. Like I said, a win-win.”

Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating noted, “I’ve known Charlee for quite some time through our work with the Matchmaker Institute. She’s a pro’s pro whose company uses the same kind of personalized, one-to-one approach with their members as we do with ours. And while we both are happily married in our personal lives, business-wise, this really is a match made in heaven.”
