Lyn talks to Amanda Rose, the founder and CEO of the Dating Boutique and Prestige Connections, about her unique vision for dating and matchmaking - by focusing on people and not profiles. Amanda has channelled her own experiences of heartbreak and dating into creating a matchmaking service that encompasses connections, makeovers, courses, coaching and events that all combine to ensure that each client discovers their own personal path to love and lasting happiness. KEY TAKEAWAYS After dealing with heartbreak in her own personal life, Amanda came to realise that many online dating websites weren’t making the most of their clients, or really helping them to achieve their full potential. Amanda believes that unless we invest time in becoming the best version of ourselves first, it can lead to poor decisions and choices when trying to attract a new partner. Self-improvement leads to more confidence and positivity, which is always more attractive to others. Sometimes we are led to believe that having a partner will somehow make us whole when in reality we need to be happy enough on our own and to feel whole already. A partner is, as Lyn says, “just the icing on the cake”. Flirting can be different for everyone depending on their personality type. One should always be mindful of body language, which is a huge part of the flirting process. If you’re having a conversation, it can be good to turn towards them and have your arms open, the act of which signals that you are inviting them into your space. Sometimes a man can be put off from approaching a woman they find attractive, if that woman is part of a larger group. Amanda encourages the practice of dating yourself. Take yourself out for dinner, or go out for a glass of wine. You are far more likely to be approached in that situation. A hugely important factor in successful dating is to endeavour to enter into each new relationship with as little baggage as possible. By allowing ourselves to carry the baggage of past mistakes and experiences we diminish the chances of successfully forging lasting new connections. When you go out on a date, have the intention of focusing on what is great about the person instead of what is wrong.. BEST MOMENTS ‘I turned my heartbreak into my business’ ‘My heartbreak and divorce turned into the most amazing blessing’ ‘Like attracts like’ ‘It has a ripple effect, when you take care of yourself’ ‘Flirting is not always the traditional “batting your eyes” or giggling at what someone says!’ ‘Sometimes men are just as scared as you are. You have to cut them some slack’ ‘Be engaged.
