Catherine, 52, very fit, ESTJ
Jonathan, 65, hitting the gym 5-6 times a week, ENFJ

 

Age is no hurdle to finding love again.

My chance encounter with Jonathan, 65, my former client a decade ago, at the gym has opened the door on dating for him when he has all but given up on romance.
He told me his daughter urged him to look for a serious girlfriend. He said he chose Rachael & Smith due to my track record in matchmaking.
I matched him with Catherine, 52.
Divorced with kids, both work in management and finance. Jonathan is intuitive and full of ideas, while Catherine is observant and keen to put ideas into practice.
On their first date, Jonathan mentioned his birthday was two weeks away. Catherine offered to treat him a dinner as celebration. Always the one who pays the bills, he was impressed by her generosity. Without checking his phone even once, his total concentration on their dinner left a good impression on her.
Having only slight physical attraction to her, he had doubts at the beginning whether their chemistry can sustain in a long run.
I explained to him it takes long time for mature daters—single males over 50 and females over 40—to develop romantic affection.
Jonathan told me he wants to take her seriously and won’t rush for anything physical.
They are going to have the birthday dinner and more dates to get to know each other.
Jonathan later told me he had actually given up on dating. “But then I bumped into you who introduced her to me.”
