Since moving to Atlanta from a private university with a less-than-stellar football team, I learned one thing fast: southerners are serious about college football. Lesson number two? One of the oldest rivalries in the South is between the Auburn University Tigers and the University of Georgia Bulldogs. We’ve had clients turn down dates because they felt disloyal for fraternizing with “the enemy.” (As a matchmaker, this seems pretty extreme-but then again I’ve never had that game day experience of a big state school.) So, for all you college sports fanatics, here’s proof that true love conquers all.
A previous client of ours sent these orange roses to his wife-who he meet through our service-to celebrate the 2 year anniversary of the couple’s first date; it also just happened to be the weekend of the Auburn/Georgia game. What a kind, thoughtful gesture from one of our favorites. We could not be happier to have played a part in making this introduction!So what can we learn from the happy couple? If you’re serious about finding love, be prepared for it to look a little different from what you had imaged. Be open. Sure, it would be great to date someone who loves the same teams and shares the same hobbies. But what’s better is dating someone who loves and respects you for who you are. After all, people aren’t manufactured…and there’s nothing like a good rivalry to keep things interesting.
Special thanks to our couple for the update.
