@datingbyblaine Sorry, I'm on “team dude” for this one. Early is on time; and on time is late! And, when you are already running late, you acknowledge it immediately and apologize. Manners DO matter. At least they did at one time in society.😏 178.5K views · 6.5K likes · 17 reposts · 24 replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

Single girlfriend in NYC's text exchange with a Raya match. This is tough... In her defense, 15 minutes isn't crazy late for NYC. The guy's texts also invite drama. You're already at the table, why not wait and see how she reacts in-person, then decide whether you're still https 10.7M views · 6.3K likes · 51 reposts · 1.9K replies 04 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

Matchmaking intake from a woman in NYC, 23, 5’10, absurdly pretty girl-next-door. “Turn my brain off” and "put me in my soft feminine" made me smile bc: • 1/3 of my clients want intellectual equals and would hate this • 1/3 of my clients want tradwives and would love this http 736.3K views · 1.2K likes · 11 reposts · 155 replies 01 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

Not closing the deal boiled down to: — My life is easy without outside investors — My life would be harder with outside investors It took me months to realize that, and for everyone involved’s sake, I’m sorry I didn’t see the light sooner. 201.3K views · 631 likes · 5 reposts · 6 replies 16 Jan 2025 · Open on X →

It’s become fashionable to roast him on X, and he 100% looks like Rachel Maddow in those photos, but… I can’t say enough good things about Mark Cuban. Mark is down to earth, easy to work with, shockingly accessible, super smart, and funny. He cares about his entrepreneurs, 262.9K views · 1.5K likes · 15 reposts · 22 replies 16 Jan 2025 · Open on X →

Anyway, I’ve never talked about this publicly but… I didn’t close the deal with Mark. This was not intentional!! Expecting to close the deal, I spent tens of thousands of dollars on legal fees, plus months of my focus, hoping to make things work. 224K views · 373 likes · 1 reposts · 4 replies 16 Jan 2025 · Open on X →

My response to r/sharktank: 1. I can ask for any valuation I want. Suck it. 2. Confirmed, I’m not outstanding with numbers. I’m a dating coach and matchmaker, not an accountant. Who wants to hire a dating coach who’s preoccupied with margins, anyway?! 3. Pretty privilege 283.6K views · 1.2K likes · 5 reposts · 21 replies 16 Jan 2025 · Open on X →

On set, I’m nervous AF, and black out most of filming. What I remember is: — The guest Shark, Michael Rubin, wanted NOTHING to do with me — Kevin wanted to invest, and I knew I didn't want that — Barbara hooked up my deal up with Mark You film for 40 minutes, and there are NO 320.5K views · 459 likes · 3 reposts · 4 replies 16 Jan 2025 · Open on X →

Immediately after filming wraps, my producer steers me to a private room. A psychologist checks in on me. Before filming, I would have dismissed the idea of speaking with a psychologist. After filming, I understand why ABC requires it, and it’s a nice touch. Frankly everyone 312.9K views · 668 likes · 6 reposts · 4 replies 16 Jan 2025 · Open on X →

The big day arrives, I land in LA, and Uber to the Sheraton the entrepreneurs are staying at. I’m told to be 100% ready — hair and makeup — in the lobby at 6am the next morning to film.

I forget about Shark Tank until May 2023 when… My producer calls, and invites me to LA to film! He clarifies that filming ≠ appearing on the show. I book a flight, and start preparing. 237.2K views · 308 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 16 Jan 2025 · Open on X →

The next part is boring, so fast forwarding… When you apply for Shark Tank, you submit TONS of paperwork, including bank statements, and do multiple rounds of interviews. I jump through the hoops, and in mid-March my producers say, “We’ll be in touch.” 260.5K views · 283 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 16 Jan 2025 · Open on X →

A Shark Tank producer sees the article, emails, and asks to chat. I obviously agree, if with tempered excitement. My services and products are digital, and my business doesn’t need working capital, so the fit isn’t obvious.
