Comment “Hedge Fund” if you’re interested in my client!

NYC Ladies... this one is worth paying attention to.

One of my favorite former clients is officially back on the market, and I couldn’t be more excited to help him find his person.

He’s 44, 5’8”, a successful hedge fund lawyer, has never been married, has no children, and is ready to start a family.

Beyond his career, he’s the kind of man who has built a life he’s proud of. He loves spending weekends on the golf course, skiing in the winter, playing tennis, traveling abroad, and exploring the arts. He’s a member of The Met, enjoys drawing, and appreciates a woman with a creative spirit who brings curiosity and passion to life.

He’s politically moderate, close with his family, Jewish by background (but not religious), a non-drinker who doesn’t mind if you enjoy a drink in moderation, and is open to meeting someone throughout the tri-state area. He’s also open to someone who already has children, as long as she would like more.

This is someone who has always treated the women I’ve introduced him to with kindness and respect, which is why I’m so excited to help him again.

If you’d like to be considered, comment “Hedge Fund” below and my team will send you the application. 💙 #hedgefund #nycdating #matchmakingclient #matchmaking taken in New York, New York by @annamorgenstern

Thank you @newsnationnow and @realjweber for having me on last night to talk about dating, matchmaking, and why finding love today may require us to rethink how we’re meeting people.

A few of the things we talked about:

• Dating apps shouldn’t be your only strategy for meeting someone.
• Growing your social network can be one of the best ways to grow your dating pool.
• Say yes to more invitations, events, introductions, and opportunities to meet people organically.
• Finding a relationship requires being intentional. You can’t expect love to simply show up at your door.

There are so many ways to meet your person. Sometimes the first step is simply getting out of your routine and putting yourself in more rooms with new people. More of the convo can be found online :)

Thanks again for having me! ❤️ #tvappearance #newsnation #jesseweberlive @datingcoach taken in WPIX by @annamorgenstern

If I were 40 and single today, I wouldn’t panic, but I also wouldn’t be passive.

I’d get intentional about everything: how I look and feel, who I spend time with, where I go, how I use dating apps, the content I consume, and most importantly, whether I’m actually emotionally ready for the relationship I say I want.

After nearly a decade of matchmaking, I know exactly what I would do differently.

I broke down my full strategy on Substack.

Comment “Substack” for the link! 

Your relationship ended. But has your ex actually left your life? 👀

Their clothes are still in your closet. Their photos are still all over your Instagram. You’re sharing custody of a dog. Your family still brings them up. And maybe you’re carrying emotional baggage from that relationship into your next one.

As a matchmaker, I’ve seen how the presence of an ex can quickly sabotage a promising new relationship.

I recently heard a story about a woman whose new boyfriend had his ex FLY IN to stay at his home and watch their shared dog while they went on vacation together. Oh, and her clothes and makeup were still there. 🚩

He insisted the relationship was over. But was it really?

In my latest Substack, I’m breaking down the role exes should (and shouldn’t) play in your life, from social media and shared pets to family boundaries and unresolved emotional trauma.

You don’t have to erase your past, but you do need to make room for your future.

Do you think it’s appropriate to stay close with an ex when you’re in a new relationship?

NYC singles, what if your next meaningful connection started with a little mindfulness instead of another cocktail? ❤️

We’re bringing together intentional, relationship-minded singles for a different kind of happy hour on October 18th at 3 PM at The Maze!

✨ A guided heart-opening meditation to release old dating patterns and make space for something new

💕 An opportunity to meet like-minded singles who are genuinely interested in finding love

🥂 Delicious non-alcoholic refreshments, meaningful conversations, and a few surprises!

We’re also excited to have **Juno** as a sponsor, helping us bring this special experience to life! You’ll chat with Juno’s AI dating coach before the event so we can send you recommendations on who you should meet while you’re there. Chatted with someone you liked but didn’t get their number? Juno can set you two up after, if both parties say yes. No more missed connections! 

At our last event, we sparked countless conversations, many first dates, and even a few new relationships. Who knows what could happen at this one?

If you’re tired of dating apps, endless swiping, and the same old singles events, this is your invitation to try something different.

Come solo or bring a single friend! We even have a special ticket offer when you bring a friend of the opposite sex.

I have A LOT of thoughts about Love Is Blind: Netherlands. 🇳🇱👀

As a matchmaker for nearly a decade, I can’t help but analyze the relationship dynamics, and this season has given us plenty to unpack.

🚩 Marc & Minou: A masterclass in why being kind, patient, and forgiving doesn’t mean you should tolerate someone who constantly creates conflict.

🚩 Jaslyn & Ludo: Being independent is one thing. Being in a relationship means making room for another person, even when you need your space.

🚩 Miguel: Is he actually looking for love, or is he just chasing the next spark? There’s a big difference between sexual chemistry and emotional connection.

❤️ Jurrian & Mika: After that VERY questionable conversation in the pods, I’m pleasantly surprised by how well they seem to work together!

🚩 Gino & Mirelle: The emotional disconnect was painful to watch. Why continue pursuing someone when you’re clearly not interested?

And can we talk about the cultural differences?! I’ve noticed the Dutch contestants seem much more direct, less outwardly emotional, and quicker to walk away than what we’re used to seeing on the American version.

But I’m especially curious to hear from my DUTCH followers! 🇳🇱 Is this an accurate reflection of Dutch dating culture, or is it just reality TV editing?

Who do you agree with me on, and who am I completely wrong about? 😂

I want to hear ALL your opinions in the comments. Especially from anyone dating in the Netherlands! 👇

Comment “Substack” for the link! For years, I was dating as a Gentile without even realizing it.

I was looking for the attractive, successful, charismatic man with the great social circle, the exciting lifestyle, and all the right connections.

And yet, I couldn’t find my person.

It wasn’t until I reconnected with Judaism in 2023 that I realized what had been missing from my dating life.

I wasn’t looking for another boyfriend. I was looking for my Jewish soulmate.

I wanted someone I could build a Jewish home with. Someone I could celebrate Shabbat with, learn Torah with, and grow spiritually alongside.

In Judaism, there’s a beautiful teaching that we can rise above the stars. That we aren’t limited by our circumstances or even what appears to be our destiny.

I believe we need to apply that same thinking to dating.

We need to stop choosing partners solely based on physical attraction, money, status, and social circles, and start asking ourselves much deeper questions.

Does this person elevate my soul?

Do they make me want to become a better person?

Can we build something together that’s bigger than ourselves?

In my newest Substack, I’m sharing my personal journey of reconnecting with Judaism, how it completely transformed the way I dated, and the lessons from Torah and Jewish wisdom that I believe every Jewish single should consider.

Because finding someone who can give you a bigger life isn’t the same as finding someone who can help you build a higher one.

After 9 years as a matchmaker, I’ve noticed something I think more women need to hear:

My male clients often have more success in dating than my female clients.

And no, it’s not because they have more options.

It’s because they date differently.

Men are much less likely to go on dates they don’t actually want to go on just because they feel like they “should.”

They tend to have stronger boundaries around how they expect to be treated.

And perhaps most importantly, they’re much better at dating the person in front of them instead of the imaginary future they’ve already created with that person.

Meanwhile, I see so many incredible women getting stuck in the “maybe,” holding onto men who check all the boxes but don’t treat them well, or mentally planning a future with someone they’ve known for three weeks.

I want women to start dating more like men.

Not by lowering your standards. By raising them where they actually matter.

I broke down the 3 biggest differences I see between my male and female clients, and what I think women can learn from them, in my newest Substack.

I also shared something new I’m launching specifically for women who want to improve how they’re showing up in dating (especially if you’ve been sitting dormant in my matchmaking database and wondering why you haven’t been matched).

Comment “Client” to meet my newest bachelor!

NYC ladies - I’m looking for someone special for one of my new clients!

He’s in his mid-30s, Jewish, a partner at a top-tier law firm, and has built a life he’s genuinely excited to share with the right person.

Outside of work, he’s active, loves sports, and has a surprisingly green thumb. He prioritizes his health and would love to meet someone who does the same: active, health-conscious, into clean eating, and thoughtful about how she takes care of herself. Someone who comes from a close-knit family is a huge plus.

I’m looking for Jewish women around 24–31, up to 5’6”, who are based in NYC. Someone beautiful, warm, grounded, and genuinely ready for marriage and building a family. We want bubbly - someone who lights up the room when she walks in. Come ready to trade good banter!

NYC-based matches only.

Think you could be a fit, or know someone who might be? Comment “Client” and I’ll send you the link to be considered.

Comment “Client” to get the details!

Meet my newest client ✨

He’s 70, splits his time between NYC and Miami, and has built a truly beautiful life for himself. Now, he’s ready to find the right woman to share it with.

He’s charming, intelligent, a true romantic, and an amazing father to three grown children. He’s at a stage of life where he wants to enjoy everything he’s worked so hard to build, but with a partner by his side.

I’m looking for a woman who is active, playful, adventurous, loves to travel, and is genuinely excited about this next chapter of life. Someone who still has that youthful energy and curiosity about the world and wants a relationship filled with fun, affection, adventure, and romance.

Jewish is preferred, but he’s open on age and location, especially if you’re open to splitting time between NYC and Miami.
And ladies…tag your moms, your aunts, your fabulous single friends. You never know whose person this could be. ❤️
