LLS Date Auction = Success

Last Thursday evening, Eight at Eight Dinner Club helped Cromwell Baun and Merrill Beckwith raise money for Cromwell’s campaign to raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

The idea was doing something fun to raise money… so the Date Auction was born!  Last year, the date auction was a hit and it raised $8,600, so we all decided to pitch in again this year!

Twenty-five contestants were auctioned off, along with their customized date packages, at Tongue and Groove in Buckhead.  It was an amazing time AND $18,700 was raised!!! That is more than double from last year, and it was a fabulous time with Atlanta’s hottest singles.

Thank you to all who came out to support the cause!

The girls in the office got back from a Matchmaker's Conference this past weekend (YES they have those!) and had handy a list of "9 things that most men seek in a woman" - or something along those lines.  Without further ado... and in no particular order... the list...

- feminine
- kind
- caring
- warm
- sexy
- nurturing
- playful
- positive
- easy to please/easy goingAre you on the market for a man!?  If so -- embody these traits as best you can!  NOT because you should change yourself to snag a dude, but because those are all traits we should try to possess anyways!  Who doesn't like a happy, upbeat, laid-back, flirty gal?And on second thought... what is YOUR list??  What 9 (or more!) things do YOU look for in a man?  What qualities are important to you?  Please share!

Are YOU a good date?

When you are on a date, please try really hard not to be negative.  You should greet your dates like they are an old friend.  Give them a hug!  Look happy to see them.  Smile!  Expect to have a good time.  Ask them how their week has been; do they have any fun trips planned for the summer?  Be truly interested in their life. Everyone is interesting if you dig deep enough.

I feel like so many people, in general, judge their date as soon as they walk in the room.  I also believe people spend a lot of time mulling over what they think of their date, instead of worrying about what their DATES think about THEM.

The best daters have a good time no matter what!  Great daters view creating a good time as their responsibility, not their dates' job!

The best daters also make friends along the way!  The romance will happen naturally when it’s right, but  have fun no matter what.

Happy dating!!! :)

Guys, Take the Lead!

As a matchmaker we get all kinds of feedback! One of our most popular feedback is as such:

"The restaurant was loud and noisy and we had a hard time making conversation over the noise."

Come on, you are an adult right?  Please tell me you can handle such a simple problem by yourself.  Go to another restaurant, take the lead men. The girl you are with will be impressed that you knew how to take care of her,  and it will show your interest in getting to know her!
