Ahhh, so once again, I am left to share a dating story from H-E-L-L.

A girlfriend called me last evening distraught. She went on what she promised herself would be her last attempt on Match.com. I’m beginning to believe there should be a site called
Mis-Matched. Perhaps the slogan could be Opposites Attract and Paula Abdul’s song could be the theme. That’s what my girlfriend, a successful, independent business woman thought as she approached Bill, her online dating connection. She stood 5’9 in her heels and glanced down at his 5’6 slight frame. She suffered through mindless conversation over “unhappy” hour nibbles and when the bill came, you know the story, “Bill” came up short. Life is indeed short, so is Bill and his pocket book- Thanks Match!

So today, I’m asking our readers to help my sisters and brothers out. I recall vividly as a child watching and laughing with tears at Saturday Night Live and Eddie Murphy’s rendition of Wookin’ Pa Nub aka Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places. Well, for some it’s no longer a laughing matter.

I’m social, resourceful and shameless and my friends who are on the dating app Tinder say I am the Common Eve of connections. I get phone calls everyday from people asking – “Do You Know—-?” Truth is, I generally don’t know my 3000 plus contacts personally. However, I am a connector and I feel at the core of my being that is what we are here to do and be of service to others. Not to toot my horn, well, ok a little tooting- I was with one of my besties, Susan and her husband, Mike Kropp on Halloween. Watching them, I am fulfilled knowing that I played a vital part in their union. I introduced them after I met Mike on a flight to visit Susan in Sun Valley two years ago. This March, they will celebrate their 1 year anniversary. I call it Knotworking tying the Knot in relationships and business.
So today, I am asking our readers to weigh in- where did you find love? And if you are still “Wookin’ Pa Nub”… let us know! Y KNOT? A closed mouth never gets fed.
