Before:
Bonnie had been in the dating world for years but had grown increasingly frustrated with the way modern dating worked. She hated the endless back-and-forth messaging on apps—she didn’t want a pen pal, she wanted a real connection. After a few messages, she just wanted to meet for coffee and see if there was chemistry in person. But too often, matches would either ghost her, seem completely different in real life, or drag out conversations that led nowhere.

On top of that, writing her dating profile felt like a struggle. She wasn’t sure how to balance being upfront about what she wanted while still sounding approachable. She knew she was loyal, fun, and independent, but every time she sat down to write about herself, the words felt stiff or generic. She wanted her profile to sound like her—direct, warm, and with just enough humor to show her personality—but she wasn’t sure how to make that happen.

After:
In our session, Bonnie got to do what she does best—talk. I asked her questions about what she loved, what mattered most to her, and what kind of relationship she was actually looking for. She shared her love of hosting family gatherings, how much she valued honesty, and how she was ready to prioritize herself after years of focusing on her kids. Most importantly, she wanted a partner who wasn’t afraid to make a plan—someone who would say, “Let’s grab coffee,” not just endlessly chat on an app.

With these insights, we built her a profile that captured her no-nonsense approach to dating while still highlighting her warmth and sense of fun. Here’s what she walked away with:

About Me

I’m Bonnie—loyal, hardworking, and always up for an adventure. I’ve spent the last chapter of my life raising my two amazing kids (one just graduated college, the other is getting married soon!), and now it’s finally my time. I’m looking forward to meeting someone who’s ready for a real, honest connection—someone who values loyalty, laughs easily, and isn’t afraid to actually show up.

I don’t do endless texting—if there’s a spark, let’s grab a coffee or take a walk. I like people who mean what they say and follow through. I appreciate directness, I don’t play games, and I won’t pretend to be someone I’m not. What you see is what you get.

But let’s be real—while I may be tough on the outside, my friends would tell you I have a huge heart. Family means everything to me, and I’m the kind of person who shows up for the people I love. Whether it’s hosting big family gatherings or remembering the little details that matter, I put my heart into the relationships that matter.

How I Spend My Time

🌎 Travel & Adventure – Sitting on a beach all day? Not my thing. Take me zip-lining, four-wheeling, or exploring a new city instead. Greece and Dubai are at the top of my travel bucket list, and I’m happiest when I’m moving, discovering, and experiencing new things.

🌳 Outdoor Enthusiast – A perfect Sunday includes a long walk along the Charles River or a hike at Callahan State Park. Fresh air, good company, and no set schedule—sign me up.

👩‍🍳 Cooking & Hosting – I host every holiday, and I love it. My specialty? Homemade sauce and meatballs—my daughter has already requested them for the weekend. There’s something about gathering people around the table that just feels right.

🎭 Culture & Connection – I spent a semester living in Siena, Italy, and I’m still drawn to places with rich history, great food, and a laid-back, vibrant culture.

🍷 Unwinding – My days are busy (I work in business development and networking is a huge part of my job), so at night, I appreciate good company, a glass of wine, and the chance to just be

What I’m Looking For

Respect, effort, and someone who brings a plan to the table. I’m drawn to men who show up, who listen, and who understand that relationships are built on mutual investment.

A perfect match for me is someone active, curious, and willing to try new things. Family is important to me, so if you love yours, we’ll get along great. And while I don’t need a gourmet chef, a man who enjoys cooking with me in the kitchen (or at least appreciates a good meal) definitely earns bonus points.

At the end of the day, I want a true partner—someone who’s confident, kind, and ready to experience life together.

Fun Facts About Me

🚔 I once worked in a prison system—yes, really. And that’s where I met my ex-husband (No. he was not an inmate but that’s a story for another time).
✈️ I’ve traveled a ton, but I still have a long list of places to explore.
🍝 I’ll always say yes to homemade Italian food.
📺 My guilty pleasure? Binge-watching reality TV with a side of Pinot Noir.
💬 If we click, you’ll never have to wonder where you stand—I believe in saying what I mean and meaning what I say.

Mantra for Life

"Be honest, work hard, and surround yourself with good people."

If you’re someone who’s up for real connection, spontaneous adventures, and great conversation, let’s talk.

Bonnie’s Results:
With her new profile, Bonnie started connecting with people who actually matched her energy. Instead of endless back-and-forth texting, she started having real conversations that led to real dates. She finally felt like her profile reflected her—direct, fun, and no-nonsense—and for the first time in a long time, she was enjoying the process instead of dreading it.
