OF ALL THE THINGS I'VE EVER DONE, YOUR COACHING HELPED ME OUT THE MOST!

Soooo.... I just got married at 53 for the first time on Saturday. I started wanting it at about age 40. Since then I've tried to do a lot of work on myself and of all the things I've ever done, your coaching helped me out the most. Love and blessings, thank you! - Lisa

IT WAS YOU WHO HELPED ME SEE CLEARLY WHO I AM AS A WOMAN AND WHAT I WANTED IN A MAN.

Hi Bobbi! It was largely because of you and your guidance that I met my husband online through Plenty of Fish. You guided our group through the process of clearly defining who we were and what we were looking for. With that clarity, I was able to push away the cobwebs and know with more certainty what was important to me. In January of 2016, I was going to the beach and asked him if he wanted to accompany me, just to have a pleasant outing. He said yes and, as I got to know him, our pleasant acquaintance became a romantic relationship. I noticed that when I decided to marry him, the decision was made with both my head and my heart. We are as in love and committed as ever, and our first year wedding anniversary is coming up in May. So thank you because you definitely helped make all of this happen. It was you who helped me see clearly who I am as a woman and what I wanted in a man. Much love to you.

I AM THE HAPPIEST WOMAN ALIVE!

I reached my wish thanks to you, Bobbi!! I was at my lowest ever when I met you. Your training and advice were absolutely crucial to my development. You taught me I had to change. I had to learn to love myself and be my own best friend. It was not an easy road. I had to learn to be patient and persist. Giving up was not an option. It was the beginning of a long but necessary journey. I knew I wanted to meet the RIGHT man. I did not want to face the rest of my life alone. And slowly, amidst some tears, I got out of my own way. I faced health issues and a cross-country move. Those issues or events taught me lessons of patience and appreciation. Gratitude, persistence and compassion. My focus didn't budge. And of course lots of prayer. Faith in my desire led me step by step. Willson and I happily tied the knot in January 2017 at a beautiful vineyard. My prayers were answered beautifully. I am the happiest woman alive. And shall continue forever. Many blessings to you for believing in me and teaching me to believe in myself and in my dearest dream. Much love, Giselle (A special note: Giselle and Wilsson maintained a long distance relationship for well over a year. Yes, it can work! )

WE BOTH SAY THAT WE ARE HAVING THE BEST SEX OF OUR LIVES NOW!

I met a wonderful man after 20 years of CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome). I’m better than I was 20 years ago but still don’t have what I would call a “normal” amount of energy. That aside, I was determined to find a relationship. I am divorced and a Grandmother. In an attempt to find a relationship that works for me, I did it all; on line seminars, various dating websites, lots of dates, took up Zydeco dancing and went to singles events. I met lots of men. I got involved with several but nothing worked out. It was listening to your Date like a Grown Up on Thursday nights, that changed things for me. You said something like, open your mind up and to go out with someone that you wouldn’t ordinarily choose. I decided to go out with a man who had a beard and mustache. That was something I wouldn’t have done because I thought beards were scratchy. ( wrong) I met him on OK Cupid. We have been dating for a year and a half now. I am 67 and he is 65. He is a great guy and a wonderful friend. We have a great sex life too. We both say that we are having the best sex of our lives now! Thank you for your care and support. Roberta

I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM BOBBI, IT'S BEEN REVOLUTIONARY FOR ME.

I wanted to be in a long-term relationship but wasn't meeting many guys to date. And the few I was meeting and dating were not worth the time. I knew I was a great person and vaguely hopeful that I too would find my match someday, but I wasn't making much of an effort and prince charming was certainly not pounding down my apartment door. I have learned so much from Bobbi, it's been revolutionary for me. She has taught me to communicate directly with kindness, something that was not part of my upbringing. It's impacted all my relationships - and not just the romantic ones. First and foremost, I truly now believe I will find him. I've learned how to be the same fabulous person I am with friends, with guys. I am more open to men I would never have considered in the past and I’m confident I'll be able to tell the good ones from the time wasters. Bobbi is kind, inspiring and focused on exactly what I need to work on! She is bringing kindness back into how we treat each other. And most importantly, she has developed a very doable system that really works. I love working with Bobbi because she is right there with me, inspiring me every step of the way, helping me see things differently and push past my comfort zone. And all in a fun and kind way. Working with Bobbi has transformed my life and is best investment I've ever made in myself. PS: Btw, I’ve met a man I think I’m falling in love with. He wants to be exclusive but I’m waiting to be sure he’s truly got the potential to be a good man for me. I am so excited! I’ve never ever felt like I do when I’m with him. Thank you Bobbi!

AFTER 18-MONTHS HE HAS A KEY TO MY HOUSE AND TO MY HEART. I CAN'T IMAGINE BEING ANYWHERE ELSE!

When I first met Bobbi, I absolutely loved her. I listened to Bobbi talk about making a “grown up” connection, and finding someone to grow old with, not just play around with. It sounded like a Disney movie for adults; definitely too good to be true. But, deep in my heart, that’s what I really wanted. After two failed marriages and several other long term relationships that ended poorly, I just didn’t believe it was available to me. I was on 4 or 5 dating sites, meeting new men for coffee nearly every day. I was the One Date Wonder. Maybe two – never three. I took Bobbi’s class and hired her to help me. She re-wrote my online profile and made me spend money to get new photos. She put me on Match (I hate Match) and monitored my progress. Bobbi was working on changing my attitude. She encouraged me to walk with my head up and make eye contact with people as I walked. She had me strike up small conversations in line at Starbucks and at the bank. She advised me to get out and do things that I enjoy where men are likely to be present. I did most of that, and quite honestly, felt pretty good about it. I didn’t meet anyone right away, but I felt more connected with my community. I kept my heart open and my eyes up. I went out with friends and made small talk, just like Bobbi advised. I was definitely getting too old and too fat to meet anyone, but I was enjoying live music and cycling, so whether I met someone or not, it was a Good Life. One night my friend and I were attending a live music gig. One of the bands we were following included a friend of hers that she had known for over 25 years. Between sets, he would come over and sit with us, talking about any number of things. One night, we were talking about people and weight, and I made some comment about my size and how it didn’t seem to change no matter what I did. His comment was, “That just doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter at all.” Now, if you know Bobbi, you’ve heard her say, “It’s not the size of your thighs” that determines whether or not someone is into you. I swear I heard Bobbi laughing as I looked up to see him smiling. After the next set, he sat back down and said, “You know…I’m not seeing anyone.” We talked on the phone every day for a month, and started going out regularly after that. It has been 18 months now. He has a key to my house and to my heart. I can’t imagine being anywhere else. He is amazing, and I’m better than I have ever been. Life is good. Just like a Disney Movie. Thank you, Bobbi, for helping me be open to the possibility of Love. And helping me find it. Alice B,

BOBBI'S SUPPORT HAS AFFECTED SO MANY AREAS OF MY LIFE. I NOW REALLY APPRECIATE AND LOVE ME!

Before finding Bobbi, I was feeling good about myself but was very frustrated about my romantic future. I felt like I didn't know enough about men even though I had been married over 30 years and have two brothers. I was afraid of dating - I had not been on a date since college! Bobbi's support has affected so many areas of my life... I now really appreciate and love me - my qualities, my body, my strength. I have inner peace, confidence and beauty because of that. My friends and my brothers have commented that I seem different. As Bobbi says, I am "my best self". (Bonus! This change in me has helped me deal with family issues, too.) Best of all, Bobbi has helped me really understand more about men. While I have not dated a lot (yet!), I am more comfortable and confident approaching men. I can choose better and write a damn good email. Most importantly I know what I want and look to see if I like him. The Love Program 5 step program was the perfect mix of intimate, small group calls and personal work with Bobbi that I needed. Other coaches didn't match my personality, my age group and their group calls were large. This was just the right fit and worth every nickel! - Mary K, 63

BOBBI SHOWED ME THAT THIS IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST MEETING A MAN - IT'S ABOUT COMPLETELY LOVING AND ACCEPTING MYSELF.

I used to feel like there was something wrong with me and had a hard time believing in myself. I thought everything with dating was "my fault", and definitely needed to feel more positive! Bobbi showed me that it's about more than just meeting a man. It is about completely loving and accepting myself- which is a lot more important than having a man love me. If I don't love myself, nobody else's love will get through. Bobbi taught me good communication skills with men - people in general - and helped me keep a light approach to the dating so I can keep perspective and not fall into a hole about "men do this..." or "men do that.." Now, at 65, I feel I've learned a lot about myself and dating that I never had a chance to learn when I was younger. I never had anyone to teach me until Bobbi! Now, I am out dating and don't feel desperate. I'm taking my time to find good men, and I feel good about who I am as a person. and feel I am valuable and worth a man making an effort to get to know – which has been the most priceless benefit from this investment. - Toni W, 65
