Sick of using DATING APPs? No worries
Did you know that you CAN use Facebook groups to meet HIGHLY COMPATIBLE matches.

There’s no swiping. You magnetically attract your type and let the messages flow in….

Here’s what to do:
Step One: Join a relevant FB Group
Step Two: Write a post that describes yourself
Step Three: Vet and connect with those who send you a DM (direct message)

Let’s talk about ghosting… and kindness.

Many years ago, I was kind of dating someone I really liked. I was putting in effort to see him again, messaging to make plans, and feeling excited… but he started dodging me. No explanation. Just silence.

At first, I was confused. I’d never experienced ghosting before. I didn’t know what was happening - had I done something wrong? Was he busy? Did he lose interest?

Eventually, I realised he just didn’t want to continue - but hadn’t found the courage to tell me. That silence hurt more than the truth would have.

Since then, I’ve learned how important it is to close the loop in our communications - whether in dating, friendship, or business. Leaving someone hanging might seem like the easy option, but clear communication is the kindest.

What do you think - Is it kinder to tell someone the truth, or to quietly disappear to avoid hurting them? Let’s discuss.

🪼 Join me this SUNDAY 23rd March in Melbourne (4pm - 6pm) for a fun walk around the streets.

We meet near Southern Cross Station, and end at Grill'd for burgers!

😍 I LOVE LOVE LOVE to connect people .... so I'll be running some fun ice-breaker games at the beginning so we learn each other's names and have plenty to talk about.

Once we've done some ice-breakers, I have a set route we'll walk so we find some unique STREET ART to photograph and pose with!

📷 📱 Bring your camera or smart phone, wear comfortable walking shoes and cash for dinner if you want to enjoy a meal with us after the fun photo sesh.

🎁 There's no charge for this experience.

🧐 All welcome... simple write to me via Facebook Messenger for the map of the exact meeting location before Sunday afternoon so you have time to make travel plans.

Looking to make new friends in or around Melbourne?

Come join us for a "Street Art Photo Walk" on Sunday 23rd March in the afternoon (4pm) followed by a casual dinner 🍔 if you want to stick around and keep chatting with your new connections.

💜 If you're single, and also aged between 25-45 this experience is especially for you because I'll be keeping my eye out for a match for one of my matchmaking clients.

To learn more, send me a direct message to let me know you're interested to meet us and I'll send you the exact meeting point location.... not too far away from Southern Cross Station.

The Problem:

You're a great catch but you're likely having little luck on the dating apps.

Bathroom selfies, photos holding a fish or patting a sedated tiger simply don't attract the types of matches you deserve.

It's not your fault.

We all know it's awkward and embarrassing to ask a friend to take our photo, especially for a dating app or if you're camera shy.

The good news (if you can get to Geelong) is that I've just announced a photoshoot for 1st March!

During this photoshoot we take HEAPS of photos of you in your natural element... showing your personality so you can represent yourself AUTHENTICALLY on dating apps and attract the type of partner you want to be matching with and meeting.

Want to come along but can't afford the photo-shoot? Send me a DM because I have a special opportunity for just the right people.
