To Jess,

Appreciate about David: finding common ground of interests and experiences his caring family relationships

My expectations of Matchmaking:  After living a life of going somewhere and knowing no one and being in parishes with diverse people, I first believed that I was open about relationship.  However, as I met various men, I discovered that on a 1:1, face-to-face encounter, I did have specific characteristics that were important to me.  I kept describing them (education, pursuits in life, family ties) to Matchmaking with the result that I was matched better.  I learned that I had definite needs and expectations.

Please put me on hold for the summer.

Thank you for listening.
