Patti,
I am a 21 year old college student and am in a committed, monogamous relationship with my 28 year old boyfriend of 2 1/2 years. While I recognize I still have a lot of learning and growth to do, do you think that someone cannot experience true love at my age? Is it somehow wrong or naive of me to be excited about working towards this common goal? What "stage of life" (rather than specific age) do you think is best to enter into marriage?
Cat

Cat, you’re in a catch-22. On the one hand, you’re young and haven’t experienced life – you may be smart, but you have no wisdom. On the other hand, your heart is telling you you’re in love and that this is the ONE. The question you have to ask yourself is, “What’s more important to me… finishing the stage of life that is freedom, or taking the next step.” That’s a question you have to ask yourself seriously. The one thing you don’t want to do is take the wrong step.

 

Hi Patti!
I've just started watching your show, and now I'm addicted! I'm 21, and I've dated 6 gay men before, one being my ex-fiancé of two years. I'm usually the first person (even before their parents or friends) they "come out" to because they say I'm so accepting of people. I like a sensitive, well-kept man with my same interests (stereotypical of gay men). How can you tell if a guy is gay, or just metro? Why do gay men date women (if they say they knew all along?!) And WHY do they come out to ME? Thanks!
Dawn

Dawn, STOP IT. There are PLENTY of well-kept men out in the world that aren’t gay. What, are you picking them up at gay bars? You know what you’re doing, and why you’re doing it. This sounds more like a person that is purposely sabotaging their own love life because they’re afraid to be in serious relationship more than anything else.

Hi Patti!

I've been dating someone for 4 months now. I just learned that he has "commitment issues". Ok.. Maybe I could tell in the beginning. He's been romantic from day one but I think he's nervous about giving up his freedom. He doesn't want to date other women, its more of the travelling & being a "guys guy". I'm not asking him to lay out the next year for us but I'd like to know that I'm not wasting my time. How can I ask without making him feel claustrophobic? Am I missing something that's obvious to everyone else? I'm very sweet and I'm usually the one with commitment issues. I've realized that he needs to feel like he's in control & needs to feel like he has his "freedom" still. Do I need to not be available as much?

Hey Patti!
I am 19 years old and I just LOVE watching your show. You're hilarious and I love how honest you are to these self-absorbed men and women. They need a wake up call. When I'm older I really hope to be a part of your business because I think I have a really good take on things. I know how people feel when they date for years and never find the right woman or man. My mom has been single for a very long time and I've experienced how hard it is to find your true love. Your show is amazing and every word that you say is totally true. Love, love, LOVE it!

Patti, I am looking for a partner. I have been divorced and I am a single mom and have tried dating sites like eharmony and what not, but just cant seem to find the right pereson. I was just watching your show and thought I would send out for help. What advice do you have for someone to find that special someone?

Patti: I am sure you get this all the time. I am a 47 year old guy from Dayton Ohio. I am divorced with two kids’ one still at home. I am your average everyday guy. I have a full time job and I am in process of starting my own business. Do you ever have Millionaires looking for the everyday guy? I have a high school education only. Well if you have any suggestions please tell me. Thanks you for taking the time out of your very busy schedule to read this.

Okay Patti,

I am an attractive, petite 38 year old woman who has not been in a serious relationship in 5 years. I was engaged 5 years ago, but i broke it off because he was not mature enough and did not have his act together. We are great friends today though. Since then, i have dated here and there, but have not found anyone worth my time. I must confess the i do tend to be attracted to "emotionally unavailable guys" so my friends say. I do not understand why i am like this. It is like i am self sabotaging myself against finding a great husband. I tend to fall for the fun, cute, charming "player" which i KNOW is wrong, but how do i break this cycle ??? I love your show and the way that you can analize a guy in 5 seconds and rattle off all of his issues. Perhaps you can do this for me so i can straighten myself out. Thanks Patti.

I watched "Matt and Jimmy D" and I was horrified by you. You basically are saying woman cannot speak for themselves and be strong. I do not need a man ordering for me...opening doors is one thing but you took it too far on this show! We are not dumb women...who sit in the car putting our makeup on. We are strong and independent and there is NOTHING wrong with that!!

How long would you say is reasonable amount of time to be with someone before you get married? I have been with my boyfriend for 5 months and I am ready but I am not sure how long I should wait to bring it up.

Hey patti,

I watched your show the other day with zargos and that wealthy dude who you set Alana up with. In watching the show I also selected Alana for that knuckle head who behaved disgustingly to her during the date. Peeing in front if her, and thrashing water at her on that jet ski at his lake. Quite frankly he was all about hey, look at the size of my !@#$% you know what I mean. Anyway, so here's my thing, I quite dig Alana personally. So here's my proposal. While your show is called millionaire matchmaker and a millionaire I am not, I would like to meet this woman, but here's my challenge to you, my business is not doing well, but I am not stagnant. I am constantly doing things to remain on the path to financial independence as this economy nose dives. I am the eternal optimist. I have a good heart and is currently taking care of my dad, as we lost my mother last year. I'm moving from son to guardian. Anyway not to ramble just seeing what is possible with my request.

Thanks for reading.

Hi Patti! Just recently discovered your show and totally enjoy it--almost finished reading your book. I have learned so much . . thank you! Honestly, I do not expect to hear back from you/a representative; however, would you consider maybe one/two episodes devoted to the "mature" lady seeking a friend/companion/husband! I am a very young thinking/looking 67 year old lady/retired RN. Married once x 25 years then divorced since 1989. I am not rich, but am financially stable/independent--not looking for a "meal ticket"! At 67, the availability of potential partners is extremely limited, and I will not compromise my values to fulfill my needs. I have read endless relationship books, attended workshops, participated in online dating/matching sites, am "out there", active . . . and employed the suggestions as they apply to me; yet there is seemingly no one of substance available. So, my new friend, what are many ladies like myself to do? I am ok alone; but my life and my "twilight years" would be so much more complete with a special someone to share them with. Wouldn't you please consider an episode or two for ladies like me? As longevity with good health increases, there would be a very strong market for this for you. Thank you for "listening"! Jody

Patti, I have recently been dumped by a man I have been with for 3 and a half years.. We moved to my home town 8 months ago, to better our life because neither of us have careers and such, I think towards the end we did become unhappy, but I thought we would stick it out and get married, he always seemed to want the same things, but no ring, I did get jewelry and alot of love, we were once amazing together. Now that he broke it off, stating he cant give me what I need,and he is holding on to a good thing, but he is not ready, I am now taking it to heart like there was something wrong with me and I miss him so much.. I feel broken and gave so much of myself to this relationship. I used to have the highest confidence and I have lost a part of that. I know that im probably better off, but a part of me still has hope we will get back together because I still love him, and he is a great guy, and it was enough for me. I want to know how to get past this, im 30 almost 31, and I have a heart of gold, but sometimes I feel like its to late, to start over I know I deserve better, but I keep thinking if I only did this, such and such.. He said he was falling out of love with me, and I blame myself everyday.. I need some tough love here, and I admire you so much.

Thank you,

Hi Patti,

I just wanted to say, my sister and I enjoy your show and watch it every Thursday.
I have 2 questions to quickly ask you.

1. I am 31 going on 32, however I am short and look young. I have been in 3 major relationships, 2 of them wanted to get married. But when the "marriage" word pops up I get so scared and break up with them. I don't know why, cause I really want to get married. However I think sometimes I am feeling the pressure at that moment. I come from a good family. (Parents have been married for 35yrs, so its not like divorce runs in my family) but I don't know. I really want to get married, but how do I get over this scary part of accepting someone and saying yes?

My second question is about my sister. She is 28 and has a wonderful son. she is very beautiful, however she is not skinny like all the girls you seem to have. I don't know why she cannot find a good guy, who can take care of her and her son. She makes excellent money, works hard, and has a good career. She does not make millions, but is getting another promotion and will be close to the $200,000 range. Do all women have to be 5'8 and 120 pounds for men? Or do some men look for women who are at least average size, but very beautiful? My parents and I really want her to settle down with a decent guy who makes a good living like her. Please let me know. (ps: they dont even have to make millions, just a decent, honest, hardworking guy)!

Thanks and look forward to your show!

Patti I'm so repulsed by the way you treat your staff! Have you watched yourself on the show. You demean and demoralize them. It's painful to watch. Also the guy you set up with a Scientologist, and then you said he was rude?? Setting someone up and not mentioning that the person BELONGS TO A CULT! unbelievable. Almost as if you had no idea how to treat your clients as well as your staff.

You need to contact Lisa Lampanelli and find her a man - get her on your show (I bet she'd do it). What a great episode that would be...and I know you're exactly the person who can help her. She needs you!!

Hi Patti -

I recently had some minor surgery done. With the many follow up visits I've had I have become very fond of my doctor. He usually sticks around to talk to me about other things if he's not too busy. I want to find out if he's interested in me but not saying anything because of our doctor/patient relationship or if he is just a nice guy. How do I subtly let him know I'm interested?

thanks!!!

Hi Patti! I love your show...my friends tell me I look like you and act like you...lol I am 22 (23 in less than 2 weeks). I've been single for almost 2 years and I just recently met a gentleman who is 26. I am extremely attracted to him. I've only been knowing him for about 3 weeks and I have only hung out with him twice, but we talk on the phone and text. He doesn't live in the same town as I do so I don't get to spend the time with him I would like. I don't know what to do because I really like him ... and it is blind... because I don't know him that well, but everything I do know has made me quite smitten. He told me likes me...and No I did not ask him if he did, he just devulged the information on his on so I let him know I liked him, but he is not privy to the extent. BUT I want him to FALL IN LOVE WITH ME!!!! I'm ready for a boyfriend! What do I do? I've been myself

Hey, Patti!
First off, I love the show. I think most of your commentary is great, and you have excellent advice. A fairly simple question for you, are there age limitations for the women in your club (upper and lower limits)? For example, would you accept and begin matching a mature 18 or 19 year old serious about finding love or is that too young? I'm sure this is a question you get a lot, but I would love to hear your opinions on the matter.
Thanks,
Kelly

patti, i'm in love with your show, for i find it to be amusing, intellectual and intersting. One of your episodes that you did with the NBA star, Paul Dvis, caught my attention, even though, his prsonality was dry-i just think he's reserved and timid around women, even though we all have a daring side. i might be too old for him and be more dominant, but i do enjoy his smile, looks, and character. i jjust want to know if he's still looking, if so, please write me back, if u can. i'm in atlanta, georgia and i don't know if he's into the opposite race.

Hi, Patti. I'm Sara, a 20 year old college student from Texas and just started watching your show when I can. I love it. My problem is i've dated enough in my short life to know what kind of guy I like. I can't seem to keep a guy for longer than 2 months without getting bored or finding a huge problem in either their actions or personality.

I have stong traditional values when it comes to family and dating. But I am also a very independent woman who wants to make her own way in life. I'm half way through my college career, and I know a guy shouldn't be my main priority as school is high on the list, but anyone can get lonely. I want a tall (5'9+), dark haired and very intelligent man. I also have a tendency to date 5+ years older. I'm not a jealous person and am very close to my best friends from high school.

I love sports and cars, and I can't seem to find a guy that is willing to "talk" sports with a woman, or about car, who knows about as much as them. I read a lot and am a movie buff. As well as a love for history. I am also very close with my family and it's huge. I think overwhelms them. I think I have a fear of commitment, but I not completely sure.

I would greatly appreciate anything you have to say about this.

ME: 39 and o! so married for 17 years; together 22 years in October 2009; raising 2 children as at-home-mom and community volunteer; and, although a "guilty pleasure", I have fallen in LOVE w/your show. IF ever you open a branch in Sonoma County I would like to work for you because I believe in true love ('true love' which is a synonym for WORK) and I LOVE what you do and how you do it. I don't think the money is necessary for LOVE (we didn't have any for many years and still are not in the millionaire category) BUT we are in love and I truly believe in what you are trying to do for these people. I would love to work for you in helping people to find their life-mates. I can't think of a better pursuit outside of caring for one's own family and aiding the poor/unfortunate. As an active mother and wife, as well as, 'Freedom Writer' (A.I., human rights letter writer) I can't think of a more noble effort. In light, interest & appreciation & LOVE, Britt Neff

Hey Miss Patty.
I have such a love/hate thing for the show. Ultimately I respect you a great deal. HOWEVER...What is a guy to do if he makes between 25 and say 50 grand a year. Just give up on love and relationships all together? Men usually don't care what women do for a living. As long as they look good and sometimes yes them to death.
With all the shows on Bravo, how is a regular Joe like myself supposed to find love.
Women now, more than ever are being groomed to look for $$$$$. Something they have been saying they're "not" looking for ut lying for years.
Can you help an honest, humble, very caring, and lower tax bracketed "real" man? I know you need to make a living, but the rich guys do alright without you. Could you at least mention the fact that there are GOOD men that aren't even close to being millionaires out here.
I wish the best for you. M.

Ms.Patti, should different religous beliefs be a factor in true love ??? Shouldn't love out weigh religion ? I'm in love with my friend who will not give me a chance only because I am not a christian man..And she continues to let herself keep getting run down by these men who claim her religion ???

I've been dating my boyfriend for 21 months and we have a long distance relationship until I finish school, and we plan to marry, but he threatens me a little, saying he doesnt' like some of my friends and family, and that he will only put a ring on my finger if I'm behind him 100%. It's hard. I love him so much, but I feel he doesn't respect my friends. Oh please, I hope you can answer... Thank you Patti.

Do you realize that not everyone is between 25 and 35 years old. I am 50, work out everyday, have never been overweight, don't even look close to 50 I am told I look 35, was married 20 years to a wealthy professional and have dated 30 men since my divorce. I am amazed how difficult it is to find the second "right" guy. In fact most men I have met at this age are "gold-diggers" and basically use women my age or play games. I really think there is a market for the second time around baby boomers looking for love. And yes, some of us are really "Hot"! Why don't they have an older version of "The Bachelorette".

I know you say men are looking for younger women, but older women are more experienced and mature and make great companions. Most young women I have met are still trying to grow up!

Do you even consider women in your service at my age?? You know you are not far behind me!!

i appreciate that you really know what a girl needs and looks for when finding the Mr. Right.

However, i am kind of disappointed that i don't see a successful match that is accomplished by you..while you said in the beginning of the show that you got 99% percent of successful rate in matching up people?!! I am not trying to be offensive, but this matching show has really disappointed me.

Patti! I just wanted to say thank you. On the last episode of your show you talked about your relationship and how you were happy with where things were at and were in no rush to get married. I have been with my boyfriend for 10 years. We have grown so much together and been up mountains and down valleys. I'm always getting asked "When are you two going to get married?" and I get so annoyed by this. We are happy how we are and still have lots we want to do before children. You said in your show that unless children are wanted than whats the rush...so I thank you!

Hi there Patti!!!
I love love your show -- I saw a few back to back repeats this weekend and I enjoyed it very much. However... I do have a comment to add --- the 'cuff links' !!! you repeatedly said that it was an 'old' and 'gay' thing to wear....well Patti, I have to say that as a 38 years young and straight woman (married for 16 years)... nice cuff links are always that. There is nothing nicer I think than a man wearing a well taylored shirt with elegant and unpretentious links. I do live in Miami and though we are often portrayed as 'over the top' in many instances, simple and elegant will always be that --- no matter where the person lives.
I just had to add my thought on that one.... links are fine if they are kept simple and clean.... and certainly not a 'liberace (spelling ?)' thing... though likely he wore it well too!=)
Keep the great episodes coming!
Johanna.

Patti,

I'm 25 and currently single. I've been in two 3 year relationships that essentially went no where. I feel as though I'm at that point in my life where I'm ready to find my mate, settle down with marriage and kids; however, I seem to keep finding guys who like to play games. They say or do nice things to "catch" me, then all of a sudden everything stops: the nice comments, the little hints here and there, etc. Now, I believe I'm a good catch. I've always treated my men like royalty: I cater to them in any and every way i know possible, but lately it's getting me no where. I guess my question is, how do I find the guy who is on equal ground with me and who seriously wants a commited relationship? I'm tired of games and I'm tired of guys using lures to "catch" me...I want a guy who is genuine 100% of the time and can stay on top of his game as much as I stay on top of mine.

Thanks

Hi Patti
I watch the show...just wondering why you keep claiming to have a 99 percent success rate yet, the episodes shown always end without a match.

Hi Patty, my name is Rose and I love watching you show. I have a question for you. I have felling for one of my co-workers, well he is my boss. i dont know what is wrong with me. We gone out a for a couple of months and he made me fell so nice then after he got in my pants everthing changed. I saw him with this girl, I questioned him and he wanted to give me proof that it was not him. We fought and I told him that I dont want him near me anymore, and for some reason he seems to win me over. i never let anyone control me so much in my life. Why cant he just leave me alone?

Hi, I'm 29 years old. I would like to know how can I be part of The Millionaire Matchmaker club? I've been watching you're show and I'm glad you don't keep jurks and golddiggers on the list. It shows you only choose good quality people on you're show. There is someone in particular I'm interested in meeting and possibly more. If you can please set Dwyane Wade number 3 form the miami heat and I on a date so I can meet him personally. I believe he's had a good heart and don't allow his professional background to change his character. Thank you and may God bless.

Hey Patti:

I have a question and a comment for you:

I saw in the last episode with the plastic surgeon and the CEO of some internet company-There was a lady that showed up to the meeting and she was totally not welcomed. She insulted you about your age and not having a man (or husband) and you not being married...

...Well, in your defense, you made a comment stating that your "SELLING LOVE."

...That statement bothered me tremendously. Why? Because LOVE CANNOT BE SOLD OR BOUGHT. You are selling mere opportunities for wealthy men to hook up with any woman from your litter. If two people fall in love (or not) then those two people have to make that happen, if they connect.

...Then you recommended that your client allow his penis to choose the woman that peaked his interest...

That was contradictory to me...

...So is it LOVE or LUST that you're selling?

Hi Patti,

I am always told that I look like you. At work, people ask me if I am going to watch myself on t.v. on Thursday nights..it's really funny. I watched last weeks episode and I really liked Micheal, not the peeing in public, but other than that I thought he was fun. I think alanna was too hard on him. I think you do a wonderful job at matchmaking and am always honest, even when honesty is not the nicest thing to be.

So, here is my question for you. I have been dating a man on and off for the last six years. He is very dependant on me and I recently cut things off because I have three children 16, 15 and 6, and I do not feel that I should have to be depended on by a man. I am feeling very guilty about my choice, but I believe it is the best one. Am I being to selfish?

I love our show and look forward to it every week!

Take care,

Kelly :)

Hi Patty! My name is Carl, and I watch the show religiously! Don't let the "haters" get to you!

Anyway, I am a successful real estate broker in Silicon Valley ( not quite ready for the Millionaire's Club, but working on it ), and it seems that most of the women I go out with are gold-diggers. A couple of years ago, I went out with a girl named Rebecca, and long story short, she "played" me for a bundle, finally getting me to buy her a plane ticket to Chicago. She said that she needed to go there for a modelling shoot, and that she would be back. But, needless to say, I never heard from her again!
My question is twofold: First, since obviously all she wanted was money, why me!? Why not a mega-rich doctor or lawyer or someone like that!?
Second, what advice can you give for avoiding gold-diggers and finding someone who is sincere?

Patti, I am sick, sick, sick of you clients commenting on your personal relationship. What difference does it make if you're not married. If a builder purchases a home he didn't build, would people question his abilities as a builder? No, because one has nothing to do with the other. Your ability to match people has nothing to do with your own personal life! Your business is your business and your personal life is your personal. Vickie from Vegas.

I absolutely love your show and I think that you are amazing. I even got my mother to start watching. We think your honestly really hits the target. Even while I watch I say to myself, "WOW, she's so right!" Our favorite bachelor is Jimmy D from Chicago. He's so handsome and funny. I hope you do a follow-up about him so that I can see him again.

Dear Patti,
I watch your show and have picked up some excellent pointers. I used to date a guy like the Doc (plastic surgeon) for the past 5 years and 4 months. He did tell me at the beginning, he was picky, I know now, I should've yielded and run the other way. Unfortunately, I didn't and now my heart is hurt and confused. He gives me mixed messages, and works a lot. I WILL NOT CALL HIM ANYMORE. I've loan this man a total of $1,650. He did pay me back. I became initmate with him after 5 months into the realationship. I caught him with a pair of women's biki underwear in September 2008 in his bathroom hanging in his showers to dry on one visit and I began to see him different afterwards. Did I mention, we have never been out to dinner, a cup of coffee, a ride in his Mezedes Benz. I want to know how do I let him go and think like a man, selffish, heartless AND NOT LOOK BACK?. We are not seeing each other any more AS OF YESTERDAY 04/18/09. I really appreciate any comment(s).
Thanks in advance and for your time and show.

Hi Patti,

My name is Glenn and I live in Florida.

I enjoy watching your show. Its very entertaining and funny.

The best part is when your clients just don't get it. With the fee they are paying you think your input would be taken more seriously.

Also I have no problem going bowling on a first date.

I love how you have the uncanny ability to assess these men! I wish that you could figure men out so easily.
I am 37 years old engaged to a man age 35 in Miami Beach, FL. We have been together almost 5 years and he asked me to marry him 1 1/2 years ago. I kept trying to move forward with wedding plans but some issues came up such as a death in the family and other things with his family and him. Now he says he is not ready to move forward and we just don't want the same things. I want to have a family and live a life together with a husband/friend.
I am moving out and I have decided to give him the ring back. Am I doing the right thing? Should we consider trying to still date after I move out?
Or should I try to meet someone who really wants the same things, or is a little bit older who may be ready for a marriage and life together?

Aubrey

Hi Patti!

I'm a huge fan of your show and I love how willing you are to help people who find relationships difficult. My problem is not with finding a guy, but rather keeping a guy. I'm only 17 so I know I'm young but I have never been comfortable in relationships so whenever I get into one, i end it within 2 weeks. I'm always thinking of some reason to break it off, and I'm realizing that I'm hurting so many amazing guys who really care about me, but I can't help it. Am I just not cut out for relationships? Why do I always want out whenever I get into a perfectly fine, committed relationship? Is it just shock of something unknown or is there an underlying problem with me? Thanks for all your wisdom- Aubrey

Hello Patti,

I adore your show and you are a real life saver for many.

I'm just emerging from a legal matter involving several major financial institutions that involved me as a witness/victim in a ("massive") financial crime. That is behind me and there is a very-very-extremely large ("landmark") sum of money in front of me after four years of drama, divorce and several relocations I'm having a hard time re-entering normal life. The stress changed me a bit and my job right now is to be patient and wait on the Settlement. I'm a blank slate with a lot of character pluses, reasonably good looking, sorta famous, east coaster who enjoyes the simple things. I need to reset my life 'right now'.

How do I reinvent myself in my new life?

Is there a basic 1,2,3 that I can go through to get the best presentation of the 'real me' to attract the right mate? It has been an isolating experience but I'm an incredibly interesting person with a wardrobe that probably sucks.

If you can make some basic recomendations I'd appreciate the help.

I love your show. I've gained great insight into the mail psyche from it. However, I've had a hard time finding my own soul mate. I've had 2 "starter" marriages and I have 2 kids living at home. Do you have any advice for single parents that will help in finding that one right person?

Love your show! I have a friend that is fabulous,confident,well-educated,open-minded,independent and beautiful. She is always looking for love, but cannot find "the one". She may be a bit cynical when it comes to true love....Perfect for your show, so how would I sign her up? Do you find these women or do they find you?

Thank you,

Dear Patti,
This is not a question for you but more of a letter to commend you on how you handled the "crasher" on your last episode. I have seen that episode more than once, and each time, I was moved by your speech and thought that you handled yourself with a ladylike, respectful and professional demeanor (as you always do).
I am a professional in my thirties, educated, independent and a budding business owner. I can't tell you how many times I get "judged" by society because I am not doing "the cookie cutter thing to do at my age......married ...kids..etc".
Your speech spoke for all of us that share the same feeling that you have regarding marriage. I feel the same way...when the time is right..I will know what to do. Thank you for speaking MY feelings with class,credibility and dignity for the world to hear!!
I LOVE what you do.....

I am 24 year old and just finish getting my BA in college. I use to date a really bad man and I stopped dating 3 years ago to put my education first. Now that I’m finish with college how do I get back into the dating pool? I feel like I lost touch with the real world trying to do well in school. I never really meet a good man where do I meet them?
P.S. I love the show…

Hi Patti,

I'm a 19 year old college student and haven't had a boyfriend yet. I can't seem to attract any guys at my school and can't figure out what's up. I see the stereotype guys who want the 'easy' girl and that's just not me. I'm not a huge partier so I don't meet a majority of the guys. Any suggestions for finding a good guy at college?

Hey Patti,
Love your show. Don't really watch reality shows except on Bravo. Caught your's by accident and was hooked. Love the way you put the guys in their place. When you tell them that their penis is talking... reminds me of an old joke but true....."Why do men give their penis a name?" Answer..."Because they don't want a complete stranger making their decisions for them." 'Nuf said...
Aside from that would like to see (sometimes) a "normal" girl , without punched out puppies, in your mixer and see where she winds up, especially with the shy ones.

I watch your show faithfully and I try to take notes on how I should carry myself and how real mean should treat the women they say they care about. I am still single but I am not in a hurry to ruch into a relationship just for the sake of being in a relationship. Again I just wanted to say I love your show and keep up the real talk.

Hi Patti. My name is Tammy, and I love your show. I wish I lived out by you and you could help me find a husband. I, like you, am older, 47, and I have never been lucky in love. I attract men that want one night stands, or else they are married, never any one that want to get to know me. The older I get, the more I lose my confidence. I used to be the girl that when I walked in the room every man looked at me, now I walk in and no one notices me. I signed up for millionaire dating.com, but so far the few men that have contacted me are looking for sex for money. I am not a prostitute! What am I doing wrong? I do not drink so going out to a bar isnt for me. I am a single Mom, most men do not want someone else's child. Any advice?

hey patti,
i just started watching today April 18th...i was disappointed when i saw paul davis introduced as being from the university of michigan which is absolutely incorrect. paul davis was a crucial member of the michigan state spartan team that went to the final four in 2005...as a michigan state fan and huge paul davis fan i will no longer watch this program and would not recommend this show to any of my friends or colleagues.
it also would not hurt you to be nicer to the people you are trying to set up with relationships.

I have been watching your show on and off for a couple of months now, seems like you need to place a "placebo" date with some of these men htat contract your services. Seems like this would be able to allow you to really get a true gauge on what these YAHOO's are up to. It really does seem like most of these guys are just not serious and are wasting your time.

Greetings Patti,

I happened to catch your show several weeks ago, and thought it was fantastic, edgy, and creative. Reading a previous 'Comment', I also support the idea of selecting candidates from other states. Sometimes in a diverse country, we find our soul mates in other locales, especially when others assist and see what we often don't see ourselves.

Several of us in our late 40s and early 50s, who look and have a young life style, would love to be on your show... count me in!

Keep up the ongoing effort! It is so nice to be able to do something you really enjoy... and one can definitely see you have the passion for it.... now, please come to the Midwest. :-D

Dear Patti,
The people on your show are millionaires and pretty girls, these are the kind of people who could get a mate without somebodies help. The people who really need a TV show that one could learn something about courtship from, are losers and plain girls. Would it not be more useful to show how a loser could hook up with a girl who would have to settle for him?
Perhaps 1 of the men on a show could be a millionaire, and the other one could be a loser.

Hello Patti,

I'm 20 and I've been with my boyfriend for almost 3 years. Things were going great until he lost his job. For the past 6 months I find that I'm the only one who can do things now. If I ask him to do something he is always saying " I don't have money to do what you want" and it makes me feel guilty ,so I end up paying. He is not bothering to look for a job now and its hard for me to support my lifestyle and now him, its way to much stress. Should I leave him Or force a job on him?

04/18/2009 - 1:47pm
Marie

Hi Patti,
I think you are amazing at your ability to read people and I am having a hard time with my love life right now. I have found the guy, I believe, will always be The One for me. He and I agree on almost everything, he hits all the right chords with me and he says I do with him as well. The problem is he lives 12 hours away and while he says he wants the relationship and wants to be with me and wants the same things I can go weeks without hearing from him. In order for us to have a, what I call "real" relationship (as in actually seeing each other) He wants me to just give up everything where I live and move down with him with no real savings to live off of till I can find a job. He did offer to help me out financially until then. I am trying not to put all my eggs into this basket because of the communication issue which he admits he is HORRIBLE about. I have a 18 month old son to consider as well. While I wouldnt mind making the move I DO have to consider my son and would like the time to save up the money to cover my bills and such till I can get a job down there. It would take me about a year and a half because I am finishing school as well. Should I just up and go given my feelings or should I stick to and do the conservative good girl thing and risk losing him because he doesnt want to wait for us to be together?
