Millionaire_Matchmaker_203_Scrapbook_12

I’ve never met anyone quite like Patti … except for maybe my mom. I think all Jewish women are put on this earth to set up their son (or client) with a nice young lady. I guess some are just better at it than others, and Patti is certainly much better at it than my mom. I did find her somewhat quick to “label” me into a certain category, ie. “introvert” rather than really listening and getting to know me, but maybe she is just a really quick judge of character. That being said, I have never had much luck being “set up” with women, but I thought I would give this a shot, and if anyone was fit for the job it would be Patti. I have been so busy working to launch our new 3-D Social Networking site designed to bring the club to your computer, riplounge.com, running my Digital Marketing Firm, Seed Corn Advertising, launching a new medical website builder and directory, MDSearchEngine.com and managing my other businesses and travels that I hadn’t made a lot of time for dating. So, if someone can bring me 20 beautiful women in one night, it’s not a bad deal.

When I walked into the room that evening and saw all those beautiful women it was definitely intimidating. While I can certainly be shy about first meeting people, once I get into a conversation I generally find it easy to relax and get to know someone, but I can’t get to know 20 people at once which is kind of what it felt like. While there were a lot of gorgeous women at the mixer, I didn’t really get the impression that any of them had been “handpicked” by Patti as a perfect match for me; and Patti was the first to tell me that she was not happy with the selection of women. I think she called them her “D-list." I decided then that I would choose the girl that I thought would be the most fun and that I seemed to have the best physical chemistry with - Whitney. Even though she was very young and not Jewish, I just felt like we got along really well and she seemed open to anything. We really had a nice time on our date and despite the cameras it was actually quite natural and fun. Whitney and I dated for a little bit, but in the end, where we were in our careers and life was just too far apart. Patti was right about this, of course, but I ignored her advice. I think under different circumstances it might have worked out, but in relationships timing is everything and the timing was just not right for us. We always had a blast together, though, and are still friends - although she has since moved to Las Vegas to pursue a new career.

Andrew-
You must be meeting the wrong women in LA. Looking for a man like you is hard to come by!

Andrew,
Caught your episode recently and you seem truly genuine. I'm an Ohio girl as well...Columbus actually. I really hope you find what you're looking for! Keep in mind though - if you can't find it in LA, maybe you should visit Ohio more often!

Hi Andrew!
Have you found that special someone...you are too cute! I am from Ohio; born and rasied....you still talk about Ohio so have you considered meeting and dating a woman from Ohio? If so let me know :)

Hi Andrew,
I saw your episode on Bravo because I actually lived in the same neighborhood for a number of years in Cleveland as Marisa! Small world. We were not good friends, but heard that she was on the show...anyhow, I really thought you were great for going on there!
I moved to Florida after graduating from college in Ohio (Miami U), and also feel like if I had stayed in Ohio I would possibly be at a different place in life. LA is certainly more glamorous than Tampa (no culture, Jews...), ha! I would like to move away from here but do not know where...
You certainly seem like you are an intelligent guy with high aspirations, and obviously you have accomplished a lot in such a short amount of time! I'd be interested in talking to you more if you would. ;) Feel free to e-mail me if you want to. Hope to hear from you soon!

Jewish Mama originally from New Jersey

Hi Andrew,
I thought you were absolutely wonderful on the show. I know exactly what you mean about the dating scene in LA. I have a 28 year old daughter that was raised by a Jewish mother originally from New York. My daughter was raised in Jersey and we moved out here when she was ten. She is looking for a nice, tall, sincere and kind man!! You fit that bill!!
If you are interested in meeting her, please email me back and I will give you all the details.
I hope to hear from you!!
I promise you that you will not be disappointed. (I know I sound like a typical Jewish mother). By the way, she too saw the show and thought you were great.

Andrew,

I have now watched this episode twice now. You are a very handsome but as we all know looks are not everything. I am a very out going girl and I still have a hard time finding that one special person. I am still trying to find that one person that will bring the best out in me and in return I can bring the best out in them. My hat is off to you Andrew and I wish you luck in your journey to finding happiness.

Andrew, this was one of my favorite episodes. I was really pulling for you to find the girl of your dreams, being from central ohio and all, I wanted to see you find "the" girl. Because of your shy exterior and humble appeal I thought you would get past the classic LA stereotypical ideal girl and really look for someone more real. When you picked whitney I couldn't believe you passed up Marisa! I agree with Patti, I think you made a mistake not picking her. She was the midwest girl looking for someone not a career.

Andrew,

If I was in L.A. I would hunt you down and tell you that you have so much going for you! You are way more than a midwest guy who made good- And being from a strict jewish background, I can say honestly- You are the first Jewish guy with money that doesn't have an ego bigger than his uh...W2. You make the stereotype "nice guys finish last" a reality. There are plenty of us Jewish girls out there who want a family, a normal guy, and the comfort in knowing that we aren't temporary. Good luck to you- Try going to synagogue! You may just meet a real nice jewish girl.

Jewish mom is right, you should try to get Marisa's number, she was beautiful, sweet, and obviously would like to start a family with the right person. A few dates might spark something! (smile)

Andrew,

I enjoy the show, but would be horrified if either of my daughters brought home most of the millionaires as potential husbands. You are one of the few who seems like a nice guy who isn't shallow and superficial.

Good luck in finding love. Here's my "mom" advice: Looks fade but character doesn't, so please consider women who aren't 10's. Pay attention to the family and homelife of a prospective wife. The main influence on how a person behaves as a wife/husband is mom and dad.

This was my fave guy on the show since I have been watching, he was so sweet and normal. He only really needed Patti because of his shyness IMO.

I enjoy the show, it really proves that women may want a man with money however, it's really all about the chemistry and confort zone and not the money. I had a millionaire boyfriend, he didn't threat me with the respect I deserve so it didn't work out. I'm not sorry that I could'nt stay with him now I live month to month, not much money but I'm a happy content person with self respect.

It is difficult to find someone in this superficial world. Especially if you are little shy and want to find true love... But have to confess that I'm chocked that you are single! You are so good looking and seem to be so charming and... Totally attractive if you ask me ;-) I'm sure that you will find your soul mate soon. And don’t change too much…. I’m sure you are “perfect” as you are!

Andrew, you are absolutely adorable ! Patti was right in her first reaction to fix you up with Marisa. She was beautiful, bright and classy plus a mid-west girl. Why you ever would choose Whitney over Marisa is beyond me? She was as fake & classless as one can be to promote herself on a TV show....obviously why she ended up moving to Las Vegas to pursue her "career". There was absolutely nothing the two of you had in common to build a relationship. Furthermore, I saw the expression on your face when Patti fixed Lawrence up with Marisa (look at the reruns)!Smarten up and ask Patti if Marisa would still go out with you !! Maybe its not too late, and Lawrence was definitely not for her !! Do you really want your parents to have a dog, bird and fish for "grandchildren"? Sometimes we have the best right in front of our nose and we don't see it. You are an intelligent guy...do something !!

When I saw you on the show, you reminded me of one of my guy friends, but not as tall :) You seem very laid back and wonderful to be with. I'm sure you'll find the one when you least expect it. I live in L.A, so maybe I'll run into you one day :)

You seem like such a sweet and normal guy. I'm sure you will find that special girl someday.

I just saw the show for the first time. Andrew good luck..... dont change for anyone because i know there are a million great girls who would love a guy just like you-for you and not your credentials.. maybe try looking in a less superficial area of the world. Or dont search at all, let it come to you. I am a small town girl from IN and moved to Nashville TN. I have traveled and lived many places. Being single, i also know the difficulties of finding a good person to spend time with and find feelings for. I love it here and it is such a superficial-free zone. Friendly,old fashioned, beautiful women with simple values reside here. This is just my opinion and or suggestion :).Take Care

Andrew..I saw you on the show and it's funny because the way you describe yourself sounds a lot like me. I don't live in L.A. though :-( boohoo.
You seem like an awesome guy and it won't take long for you to find your other pea. (two peas in a pod haha)
I wonder how L.A. is different from Boca, Florida. hmmm
Cheers sweetie!
