Finding "Home" on Both Sides of the Atlantic

We’ve been a bit quiet on here lately, and we wanted to share why. Yvette and I have spent the last few months living out of suitcases, traveling across the States and back home again through Ireland.

When you spend that much time sitting across the table from people, listening to what they’re really looking for, you start to see a common thread.

We met so many people in America who have everything going for them—success, great friends, a busy life—but they feel a bit disconnected from the "modern" way of dating. They kept talking to us about wanting someone who "gets" them. Someone with that quick Irish wit, a bit of groundedness, and that deep-down importance of family.

There is a specific kind of warmth in an Irish home, and we’ve realised that so many of our American clients are looking for exactly that.

Finding the right fit

Being on the road has been busy, but it’s also been a reminder of why we do this. We don’t take everyone on as a client. We’ve had to have some honest conversations lately where we’ve told people we might not be the right fit for them. We do that because we want to protect the community we’ve built.

We only work with people when we can feel that they’d genuinely fit into the lives of the members we already know. It’s about making sure that when we introduce two people, there’s a real chance they’ll be laughing together by the end of the first hour.

Back at our desks

We’re finally back in the office now, and while the travelling was great, the best part is sitting down together and saying, "I know exactly who that lady in Boston should meet." The Irish-American connection is thriving right now, and seeing these matches start to bloom makes every mile we traveled worth it.

If you’ve been thinking about reaching out, we’re here. No pressure, just a genuine conversation to see if we can help you find what you’re looking for.

Warmly,

Jacqui & Yvette
