I overheard a conversation between my fifth grade son and his little friend who happens to have a big crush on him! She asked Matthew, “Why are you always running away from me?” And Matthew replied quite simply “because you are always chasing me.”

The message here is that when you are too available, it can be as annoying to a 10 year old as it can be to a 40 year old. Quite simply don’t give up your interests, friends and hobbies because you might have an opportunity for a date with someone you are waiting to hear from. If they call and you are truly unavailable, they will call again if they are really interested. So don’t wait around! Enjoy being you and that someone will only learn they may need to call and make plans a little sooner.

I am Jaimy Blazynski and I am the dating expert here in the Hartford, CT area. I remember someone asking me what qualifies me to be a dating expert to which I replied “lots of experience”.

Like many of you I was married, divorced, and a single mother for many years. And after 13 match.com dates I met my second husband. I learned a great deal through the entire experience. The most valuable lesson I learned was that attitude is everything. Ok, maybe not everything but a bad attitude can make the most attractive people look ugly!

I began this business in 2005 for 2 reasons. The first is that I want to help others learn from the mistakes I made and the challenges I have had. Everyone can find true love as long as they believe it is available to them. Change your attitude and it can change your life! Especially your love life! The second reason is because I get a rush of excitement every time I make a successful match! And we have had many. So whether you are newly married with your first baby like Melissa and Kevin, in your 40′s Like Dee and Doug, your 50′s like Darcy and Monty or my over 60 couple Rita and Harley you all have one thing in common. You are the success stories of Got 5 Minutes? that make me smile every time I think of you! I always say I will never stop until I have married everyone of! I look forward to meeting all of you at one of our speed dating events.
