Dan is a highly successful entrepreneur and business owner. Sharply handsome, charming and kind, Dan, a divorcee, was the very definition of a ‘catch’. An incredibly intelligent gentleman and a lover of deep conversations, he was in need of someone who could match him intellectually, stimulate his imagination, challenge his worldview. The women Dan was meeting were very nice, sure – but they weren’t on the same intellectual level as he was.

Dan is a goal setter. He decides what he’s going to do, then he does it. Ordinarily, the world of love doesn’t work quite so formulaically (if only), but, in coming to Maclynn International, Dan was able to bypass dates with women who weren’t right for him and streamline the entire process. When Dan and I first met, he told me straight: “Gina, I know you’ll be the one to get me into a relationship.”

The woman I introduced him to was a thinker, a reader. She was articulate, thoughtful, compassionate and genuine. She’s well-travelled, cultured; she yearned to meet a gentleman of a similar mindset, who’d seen the world, who was athletic, driven, funny. Dan was all of these and more. All I had to do was light the match, sit back and watch the romance take hold.

Fast-forward to four months later. My husband and I are walking up to the front door of a beautiful home. We’re welcomed by Dan and his match; it’s their house-warming.
