Finding Love After 50: What a Professional Matchmaker Wants You to Know
Using a Matchmaker to Find Love After 50
Guest: Leora Hoffman, Founder of Love by Leora
Leora Hoffman has been making professional matches since 1989, helping singles in the Washington DC area find genuine, lasting love through thoughtful, personalized introductions. In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on what matchmaking actually looks like, what makes people ready for a real relationship, and why it is never too late to find the right person.
In this episode, we talk about:
- How Leora pivoted from federal attorney to professional matchmaker after a single introduction changed two people's lives
- The three types of chemistry (positive, negative, and neutral) and why she recommends meeting someone twice before deciding
- How to distinguish your real non-negotiables from criteria that are actually flexible
- Why self-awareness and emotional wisdom are the strongest predictors of relationship success
- The self-limiting beliefs that hold women over 50 back from pursuing love, and how to move past them
- Why working with a matchmaker is an investment in your happiness, not a sign of defeat
