Surprise! I have a boyfriend

The next season of Millionaire Matchmaker is mostly about my journey to adopt a child, but I’ve also started dating again. My mother finally said to me, “Why aren’t you using your book?” I was hesitant to think it would work for me, because of being in the media but I had to take step back, just be me and take my own advice. So, I turned to Become Your Own Matchmaker, went through a dating detox and got off the grid for a while. I slowly started to join dating sites and then I met David. He makes my toes curl and I’ve never met a sweeter guy in my life.

We met online. He picked me and I just felt it immediately. He’s 42 and divorced with children. Of the guys I’ve dated, I’ve never been treated like this before.

We have a lot in common. For example, he’s spiritual, he loves photography and we both love to travel. Most importantly, we communicate really well. In fact, that’s one of my favorite things to do with him — our communication is really key. His priorities are in check — he wants to be married and he wants to keep his family together. He’s finally one of those guys that isn’t a player.

He has children but I have not met them — I only want to meet them when I’m going to be a permanent anchor. I fell in love with my ex-boyfriend’s children and it broke my heart when I couldn’t see them anymore. David and I just started dating exclusively but the chemistry is there.

I have to take it slow, but I’m so excited to see where it goes.
