Networking for Love: Master Matchmaker Shares Tips on How Singles Can Apply Business Networking Strategies to Dating

DATELINE: NORWELL, MA…Networking to find love? Hundreds of thousands of people are technically already “networking for love”, or at least a date, simply by being members of online dating sites.

But, can traditional business networking strategies be applied to dating?

Paul A. Falzone, CEO of the world’s largest bricks and mortar dating service The Right One and Together Dating, shares business networking tips with singles who may heed them when networking for love:

Become a “groupie”. Just as you might belong to professional or trade associations, it helps to become a member of a group or organization in which you are personally interested. You can belong to any number of groups and it’s one of the best ways to meet like-minded people and make new friends.

Also, check out social networking sites and consider joining a community of those who share a common interest in hobbies, religion, or politics. Some of these online friends may be single and also looking for love. Just remember that your social networking site is not an online dating site so your approach to other members must respect that. Take the time to contribute to the community and slowly get to know the others.

Consider volunteering. Just as in the business networking sense, it raises your profile and draws increased attention to you.

Stay visible. Technology makes it possible to never be out of touch. Use it wisely and stay in touch with acquaintances, colleagues, friends from school and so on. Getting out there and staying visible is key.

Referrals. Don’t be shy about turning to those you know for suggestions on how to meet other singles or for a potential introduction to one of their single friends or colleagues.

Be in the present and take an interest. When you meet someone, take the time to really listen to what they are saying and ask open-ended questions to keep a real dialogue going. This strategy is particularly helpful to those who don’t typically do any business networking or who are a bit reserved.

Follow up with those that you meet through friends, colleagues, special groups or volunteering via email, telephone, Facebook, etc., letting them know you enjoyed meeting them.
Be genuine. It’s one of the keys to business networking success. You’re trying to build trust and relationships. It’s the same premise when you are networking for love. Be honest and be yourself.

Falzone noted, “By applying business networking strategies, you are creating terrific opportunities to meet new people and get to know them, which will set you on the right course to finding ‘the right one’.”

There has been no documented case of anybody EVER dying from meeting their significant other’s parents for the first time. Although there probably have been more than a few who wanted to prior or during that first meeting.

Yet according to 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—meeting the parents for the first time is really something couples should embrace.

“When a relationship progresses to the point where one of you wants to meet the other’s parents, that’s a pretty strong statement of how well things are going—and that is a good thing,” said Falzone. “And while nobody’s parents are going to hook you up to a polygraph like Robert DeNiro did to Ben Stiller in “Meet the Parents”, there are some basic steps you can take to ensure a smooth first meeting.”

Falzone suggests:

• Meeting at a neutral location – While it might be natural to go to your s.o.’s parents for dinner, it does put at least one person in unfamiliar territory. By meeting at a restaurant or, even better, coffee shop for dessert, everybody’s on a level playing field. Just as important, outings at those venues can be abbreviated to an hour or so, much shorter than a house visit. IMPORTANT NOTE: be sure to split the check 50-50.
• Attire – Keep it casual but don’t go overboard. Ripped jeans, t-shirts, short shorts or skirts probably won’t go over so well, at least the first time out. Dress similar to what you would wear to work if your company has a business casual dress code.
• Be yourself…but not too much – While you want to act naturally and be yourself you also want to make a good impression. In many ways, you should treat meeting your s.o.’s parents like a job interview. While you want to engage in friendly banter, you don’t want to get into subject matter too heavy for the first meeting (e.g. stay away from the Big Three of sex, politics and religion). In particular don’t use any profanities or other language you’re not sure would be acceptable.
• Do your homework – Sticking with the job interview theme, do a little research on your s.o.’s parents. Make sure you know the basics–name, age, profession, etc.–just enough so you’re not going in completely cold. If you don’t know this information as a natural part of your relationship, then just ask your s.o. well in advance of the meeting.

“While these tips can help you out before and during the meeting, the best piece of advice is wait until you’re both ready to take the step to meet the other’s parents. Wanting to meet each other’s parents is also a statement about where things are in the relationship. If you’re not ready, you need to say so or perhaps even evaluate where you see things going. But if you’re on the same page and ready to meet his/her parents, that is a good thing because it means your relationship is working,” said Falzone.

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.
