Dear Renee (Love Mechanic)
I read your columns and enjoy your advice and yet I must admit I am a bit skeptical about these Rapid Dating events. I am a VERY busy, successful single person and it seems like a great idea to meet 12-20 people in one night but does it really work? I don’t have time to waste and I want results.

Dear Skeptical and Interested
I have been in the connecting business for over 16 years here in LA and it is always so interesting to me how so many people ask me the exact question that I waned to address it now. The busy-ness of most people ’s lives is one of the biggest obstacles I see to finding love and companionship in a big city like Los Angeles. I started community networking events and Rapid Dating events for just that reason…to help people have a place to connect in a disconnecting city.
My advice to all who are skeptical is to realize whether you are online dating, Rapid Dating, going on blind dates, or asking people out in bars it is all a numbers game. The more people you meet the better your chances. More than chances, you may need a “time adjustment” and to make some space for love in your life if it is something you really want. Often the ”ENERGY VIBES” and signals of a busy business person as described in my book Love Mechanics are that of an unavailable & super stressed out person who thinks love will just appear magically at their door. You have to be open to love wherever you are and Rapid Dating and Networking are both target rich environments to practice with other people in the same situation.
I was so busy running my company that I had to take my own advice. It took the sudden death of my mother 4 years ago in May of 2002, to slow me down and the blessing of that was I met my husband while I was in my hometown.
Don’t let it be a death to slow you down…I promise it is no fun. I was always in meetings and running events that I found some men turned off by my schedule and they would say, “You are great but I want someone who has time for ME”. After my mom’s passing, I reevaluated my life and would suggest the powerful exercise of looking at your life deeper and realize we are all responsible for the outcomes in our own life. If you are so busy… that alone keeps love at a distance. So keep an open heart and try all the paths to connect. You just might find on special soul out there who has been working too much to go out with to have some fun or a new business contact or friend! I would not be doing this if I did not have success hooking up people. Just getting a thank you from so many couples makes me know I’m doing something right! Keep your heart open and carve out time to have some FUN! Good luck and I hope to see you soon! All work and no play make you a dull boy or girl??
