WWJD - What Would Jerry Do?

Karin says

While I certainly DON’T suggest celebrities as role models in dating and marriage (see “Avoiding the Pam Anderson Effect” below)…

… I do think Jerry Seinfeld brings up a good point in his recent TIME magazine interview.

Jerry reveals that he married a woman who stood out from all the other beautiful women he was dating because she was…

…nice!

“I was dating for 25 years.  Do you know how exhasting that was?  Do you know how much acting fascinated I did?”  But [his wife] Jessica, actually did fascinate him.   Of all the nice Jewish girls available to him, he says, ’she was the nicest.’

I know the importance of being nice from personal experience and I share my wisdom as a Dating Coach.

“On our first date, John and I met at a bar and talked for hours.  I’m sure I mentioned about my dog Gator, who was, at that time, the love of my life*!  On our second date we planned to meet during the day for a walk along Venice Beach so I could bring Gator.  John showed up with a package of dog cookies.   Yes, he was trying to score, but he was also a nice guy.  And in his goal to win me, he finished 1st!” 

MY HUSBAND’S STORY:       john-bucket-head.jpg

“We started dating and Karin caught a cold.  No big deal, but I was on my way to Cozumel for a scuba diving trip.   One night she brought over chicken soup and that Airborne stuff.  She was just so different from other women I had dated.  She was really thinking about me.”Naturally, many other factors went into the success of our relationship, including physical attraction, but, in dating:

“Nice is the cherry on top!”

My next post I’ll reveal how I infuse each “Online Dating Makeover” for our clients with that cherry on top.

*Gator still is the love of my life, with my husband a very close second.  John’s okay with that, and that’s one reason I love him so much!
