"Dear Irene..."


Since 1990, many have asked Irene Valenti all types of relationship questions.


Finally, the new "Dear Irene..." column below just may give you the answers you've been searching for. We invite you to participate by submitting your own "Dear Irene..." questions to dearirene@valentiinternational.com

Get Started Confidentially

Dear Irene,
I am a successful businessman. I own my own company (in the real estate field) and have hit a certain level of success in my life on the professional side.

On the marriage side, I have struck out. I have been married twice, but each time the marriage failed, in large part I think, because both of my ex-wives felt I was married to my job and not them.

As the guru of modern matchmaking and someone whose opinion I value, please tell me what I’m doing wrong. I want to know how to fix things. I want to be happily married to a woman – not my job!

Sincerely,
Samual J.

Dear Samual,
You are halfway there. You have made a decision about what you really want.

Be sure you know yourself well and define who it is you want in a relationship. Find someone with similar values, lifestyles and expectations. Make sure you discuss this with your future potential partner. How much time is reasonable for you and what are her expectations? Each person is a little different, but you must be willing to listen and hear what your future potential partner tells you. Often, people fall in love based on chemistry and discover that not enough of the things that really matter most are compatible.

Also, when you are away from work, be away from work. Make sure both co-workers and clients know that you are not available 24/7. It is acceptable to let people know that you do not answer phone calls after a particular time, or that you are having dinner this evening with your wife and won’t be answering the phone after a certain time.

Remember, if you really care about someone, it is worth your time to make the effort to treat the relationship as something special. Arrange “unexpected” time off to take her on a special trip and just spend time with her. Send flowers for no particular reason. Leave her a little note about how you feel about her and how much you appreciate her. Do everything in your power to make sure the romance does not end once the honeymoon is over. Don’t just meet her expectations, exceed them, and she will exceed yours.

Warm regards,
Irene Valenti   


Dear Irene,
With your experience in this arena, please give me some honest feedback about a frustrating situation. Is it a reality that high caliber men have no use for your service because it’s easier for men like this to find someone on their own?

Do these men prefer younger women thus limiting the availability of quality partners?

Your thoughts would be most appreciated!

Thank you,
Susan L.

Dear Susan,
On the contrary, high-caliber men are always concerned about the risk they encounter on their own and the time involved. They are more than willing to hire an expert to assist them in finding their ideal partner. These are men who are serious and very realistic about age, attractiveness and all the qualities they are seeking.

By the way, men and women of all ages ask me similar questions. From a man’s point of view – why would an attractive, successful lady need to hire a service to help her? And of course, men think women have all the choices and why would they need someone to assist them?

Let’s face it, in today’s world, it’s nearly impossible in any age bracket to find your ideal partner without some professional assistance. As I often say, the more you have to offer, the more difficult it is to find that someone special.

Warm regards,
Irene Valenti
