Testimonials for Annie

For several months I had posted my profiles on a few on-line dating sites. I was getting discouraged because I was not attracting quality men. I had to do something different and then I found Annie Gleason. I cannot believe it has been 3 months since I started working with Annie Gleason. Annie helped me re-write my on-line dating profile and encouraged me to have new professional photos taken. This effort has attracted more attention and resulted in several dates with quality men. She has assisted me to narrow my list of what I seek in a man and offered suggestions of how to flirt more and make men feel special. She has provided a variety of resources to assist me in getting my “special man.” She has prepared me to deal with rejection by others and moving onto the next relationship. Annie, I appreciate your positive and supportive attitude. I thank you for keeping me motivated and not wishing to give up "Getting A Love Life!"

When I came to Annie several months ago, I admit that I was a bit skeptical. I am a bit younger than her ‘target’ demographic (early 30s)and I wasn’t sure if the methods she employed would be effective for me and my relationship goals. However, I was pleasantly surprised; Annie’s methods and techniques have proven to be timeless and effective. She KNOWS men…I mean, really knows men. And the best part about her services are that she not only helps you figure out your problems when you are in the middle of them, she teaches you how to think and approach your relationship issues in a more effective way, so that the problems come up less frequently and when they do occur, you feel more confident that you can deal with them. Annie has a philosophy of ensuring that women carry themselves with class and confidence… letting your true self be the prize for a man. She helps you figure out what you really want and how to clean out all of the emotional baggage from past disappointments that can be distracting and counter-productive to reaching your goals. I can honestly say, Annie has single handedly saved my current relationship from imploding on several occasion and for that, I am incredibly grateful.

Hi Annie, You are awesome! You wouldn't believe the number of men who have written to compliment me on my profile, specifically on my essay!!! Or maybe you would believe it! I feel so grateful that you helped me with my online profile. What's funny is that I recognized a couple of guys, so far, that I had seen on eHarmony last year, but who never contacted me then, and have written to me on Match. I'm sure it has a lot to do with my essay and my professional pics. Makes me feel good that we invested so much time getting it ready before it went up.

As much as I hesitated, I’m so happy I allowed Annie to help me navigate this online dating maze. She was able to take my information and create a profile that best suited me and who I was trying to attract. She was patient and understanding with regard to asking about my preferences, likes, dislikes, etc., and truly left no stone unturned. If you’re looking to get into the online dating scene, seek out Annie Gleason. If you’re looking to improve your current online dating presence, seek out Annie Gleason. If you’re tired of doing the same thing and getting the same results, seek out Annie Gleason. She’ll be a wonderful addition to your online dating experience.

I got more hits after you helped me with my profile in August. I have now met a nice guy who lives in San Mateo. We've been dating about 2 months. I owe it all to you... I am referring my friend to you.

Annie helped me not just get a handle on how to go about navigating the dating scene in my 40's but also how to go about getting what I need in life! I spent 6 years trying to figure out the dating world - picking the same men over and over. Annie helped me realize that attraction should not be the key factor in choosing a mate. I took a chance on a man that I would have passed up before I met Annie. I am now happily married and madly in love with a man who treats me like a princess. Her guidance changed my life! I highly recommend Annie if you need help getting what you want out of life!

I wanted to let you know about a valuable service worth sharing. During the dating process, have you ever felt confused and not sure how to interpret and respond to how your romantic friend is behaving? Recently, I had become very frustrated by mixed messages I was receiving from a man that I had been dating for several months. It seemed that as soon as I thought I knew what was going on, things became confusing again. In my professional life, I had leveraged business coaches on numerous occasions yet hadn't ever thought of using a coach for my dating life! I finally turned to "Get a Love Life" dating coach Annie Gleason, to help me make sense of my confounding relationship situation. Annie helped me to understand how men see women and relationships and then gave me tools to find love in a much more positive and successful way. One might ask why I didn't turn to a male friend to help me figure this out....in short, Annie is an expert and more unbiased than one can expect a friend (or relative) to be. My only regret is that I did not contact her sooner as the little yellow flags started to surface..... So, whatever stage you are in - considering dating, just starting to date someone, three months into a relationship - and if you have felt like it sure would be helpful to have an expert to advise or help you think about something differently - I highly recommend you contact Annie Gleason for her coaching!

Annie: thank you so much... I'm off on a trip with my boyfriend this week and I am going to look at him with new "glasses." He's a wonderful man who meets my needs and I have to start loving him as he is--older, retired, too nice (yes, I see my crazies.) You may have saved me from making a terrible mistake--dating for my fantasy man when I have a perfect man in hand. Thank you so much! Ellen

I thought I'd share a friend's feedback from reviewing my profile essay that you wrote for me the other day. "This is very good... great I must say. You come across as someone who really values family and an engineer with a great sense of humor (which is rare). I laughed a lot about the life jacket thing in Maui. I am still laughing. This is really you... That person did a great job and it's as if you are really the one who put this together. I would date you in a heartbeat after reading this."

After my divorce, I was determined to find a smart, attractive, accomplished, nurturing woman, but I was frustrated by the progress I was making on my own. I was meeting women, but none was right for me. Annie showed me how to master flirting skills, both online and in person. She helped me figure out where to meet women and how to approach them. I learned a lot about women, especially how they perceive certain dating situations. She updated my online dating profile, advised me to get a professional photographer--it was invaluable advice. She taught me how to write effective emails, and now I've found a wonderful woman online at a service recommend by Annie I would have never chosen. We're incredibly happy.

I know you knew you've had a profound impact on my life, but I wanted to tell you anyway. Not just my love life, but my social life, my professional life, and my all around sense of being. I've learned so much from you about how to handle myself in the world and how to feel connected and empowered. I'm really grateful for all the care and kindness and time you've put into me. It's been really healing. I look forward to seeing you soon.

I am so grateful I turned to Annie for help with my love life. Providing a unique perspective I couldn't find anywhere else, she's helped me sort out what I really need in a relationship. I'm happy to say her coaching has helped put me on the road to marriage, Thanks Annie!

I hired Annie as a coach and it took me a while to understand what she was really telling me, and to commit to changing the way I approached meeting men. When I finally began to seriously apply her tools, I started having a lot of fun, and then voila! I suddenly met someone with whom I am now in a committed relationship. I am deeply grateful for her patience, knowledge and good sense of humor on my dating odyssey. She has been instrumental in changing my life.

Working with a dating coach has been really fun and rewarding. I grew up shy and not having a lot of dating experiences, and this has done wonders for my learning curve. Since I started with Annie, I have had a lot of great dating experiences, learned how to flirt, (which is fun!!), and gotten a much better understanding of men and how to communicate with them. This is probably the best investment I've ever made. I've grown so much as a person through this process and feel I am much closer to finding my life partner - I think he now might be just around the corner! :-)

After years of marriage, I found myself dating in my 40's with mixed success. From the moment I started working with Annie, things changed for me and my love life. Annie gave me confidence, insight, and fun ways to re-learn practical dating skills. Before I knew it, I was dating three great men. My advice: do not go back into the dating game without Annie coaching you from the sidelines.

Working with Annie was a highly productive experience for me. When I signed up with her I had been doing online dating for years but not getting the results I had hoped for.  I knew I needed to make some changes but I wasn't sure what they were. I found she helped me enormously with small tweaks to my thought process and expectations that made a huge difference in the outcome. She helped me clarify what was most important to me in a boyfriend/potential partner and release the stuff that, in the big picture, just wasn't that important. I can highly recommend her services and recommend her to my friends, male and female, who are dating but not finding what they want.  Annie can REALLY help.

Annie knows what she is doing. She has a great perspective, is easy to work with, and gets great results! If you want to change the way you approach your life, then hire Annie!

After making a commitment to work on my personal life, meaning putting aside the time and making the effort, working with Annie helped me discover that I didn’t have game, or a plan to meet women. That is partly what we worked on. Her coaching was very personalized to my situation and dating circumstances. I liked her vast range of knowledge on men, women, relationships and dating. I admired her ability to motivate me to do things I wouldn’t normally do. I'd recommend her.

Before working with Annie I was skeptical if dating coaching would work. I thought, 'there's no magic bullet that is going to help me Mr. Right- no matter what advice she gives me, I'm still going to have to go out there and find him myself'. Well, Annie is no magic bullet, but more like a magic potion that works synergistically with your unique assets to help you be successful in the dating world. I had just come out of a long term relationship that was dis-satisfying and going no where. I felt discouraged about my prospects of finding love and my ego had taken a major hit. Annie helped me gain perspective on my previous choices in relationships and clarify what I really want now. I came to really trust her advice and take the baby steps required to 'put myself out there' in a dating sense. It works! I went from zero prospects, to men asking me out right and left. My friends can't wait to hear my next installment of 'my dating escapades'. Then once I started dating, our meetings gave me a forum to stay clear on my long term goals, and not get too hung up emotionally at the early stages of dating. I'm now confident in my attractiveness, and my ability to enjoy dating and have fun on the way to meeting my Mr.Right. I can't thank Annie enough or recommend her more highly. She is my secret weapon in the dating arena, don't leave home without her!

I love Annie! She's very knowledgeable about the ways of men and women and gives great feedback on your behavior, how you look and how you come across. How to work it and get your groove on. It's invaluable advice. She's also very personable and easy to work with. She bullies you with a feather. I'm so happy I found her and she will definitely be guest of honor when I get married.

Hi Annie, thanks for answering (as always) my questions tonight. I don't know if I have said this before, but working with you is one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I can see how dating xxx and going on dates with other men has taught me a lot about myself and how to handle myself and I am learning about men. I really appreciate how patient you have been. It's something that I have worried about a lot in past relationships and I appreciate that you have not quit. This has opened up my world and I look forward to more learning and fun. :-)

Confused about attraction and the dating game, do you feel like everyone else, especially those of opposite gender, know all the rules and protocols and you don’t? Well, Annie not only has this figured out, but she also knows how to teach it to you. Once you learn the secrets of such things as body language, when and who to approach, is she testing you and what are the right answers, even who pays on a date, you may start to see that a lot of others don’t have a clue and that puts you in a more confident position.

I met Annie Gleason when she was a speaker at an event sponsored by the society of Professional Singles. I had recently returned to the Bay Area after living in another part of California for more than 30 years. Annie was informative and the points she made I found interesting. Subsequently, I attended a small group workshop weekly. Annie was the facilitator and we discussed issues of dating for midlife singles. The workshop assisted me personally in my interactions with women and dating in general. Annie also assisted me in decorating my condo. She visited my condo, designed plans on location, size of furniture.etc. For me it was very helpful. Working with Annie as a Dating Coach has been a positive experience. I would recommend her to men and women who are navigating in the world of a midlife single.

CONFIDENCE! That's what it's all about! Think good of yourself and others will too. Annie Gleason did that for me! She found the confidence inside of me and made me realize what a good person I really am! I'm a catch! And the men out there should be happy to meet me. If they aren't, then they aren't worth pursuing. With her help, I found a great guy. We talk, we're great companions, we are pursuing a life together. What more can you ask? Annie was a great help!

Met a guy last March and have been dating him exclusively since April. We are very well suited and enjoying each others company immensely! So much so that he asked me to marry him last weekend! Would love to give you a testimonial, but would prefer it to be anonymous!

I took Annie’s class on writing my profile and it was amazing. After working with her and rewriting the profile, when I launched it I had lots of responses and actually started dating two very nice men. Annie has great tips on how to reach out and attract men through the profile that I would not have thought of at all. She really helped a lot and I highly recommend her for this “new way” of mid-life dating. All the rules are different now and we need Annie to help guide us through this process and steer us in the right direction so we can meet Mr. Right and live happily ever after.

I am so happy to have met Annie Gleason. When I first met her, I realized that she had a lot of experience in the way of men, women, and the art of courtship. I was making some hideous mistakes. Some of Annie's infomercials really struck a chord in me and it was those infomercials led me to take some counseling sessions. I had always been slow and challenged when it came to dating. Annie shared how men and women differ in their perceptions of the mating game. Now I understand what it takes to get out there and meet men. I actually went out and practiced socializing with strangers. She is a wonderful mentor. It's never too late to find love. How cool is that?

I had been married for close to thirty years. Getting back to the dating scene has been adventurous but brutal. Your classes have helped in dealing with the pot holes, speed bumps and wicked curves on this highway of life, and to help me to proceed at a more cautious pace. Putting the petal to the metal in my youth had its day but now that I am 57 going the speed limit makes more sense. Your classes have given me a better roadmap to follow in finding that wonderful love life. I am still out there looking for a wonderful love life. Planting seeds, taking it slower, and making sure it is mutual. Happy Trails, Stephen F

Annie, I really appreciate your support with all this (dating) stuff. You also gave me some good insights regarding myself and you know who. I'm hoping to incorporate them into my way of thinking. Sometimes, it's tough to get the old tapes to stop their loop. Thanks for telling me that it's OK to need. I know we all need, but some of us don't think it's OK until the feelings pay us a visit. I definitely need to pay more attention to my instincts--even when they're counter to what I want to do. I really appreciate your encouragement!

Having been on the midlife dating scene now for more years than I'd like, I went to Annie for advice. For starters, she suggested I spruce up my online profile. I balked at first, but sure enough, I reinvented my stale Match profile, and my dance card is now booked for weeks. With her guidance, I now feel more confident about finding who I'm really looking for, less squeamish about weeding out who I don't want, and quite a bit less shy about meeting new people as I go about my everyday life.

Annie Gleason's Get a Love Life is just what I needed. I am a really busy professional woman who talked a lot about meeting "someone", but never did anything to make that happen. I complained about the lack of available straight men in San Francisco. I think I expected to meet them on the TV set in my living room. Since working with Annie, I have overcome my inertia (and a lot of my fear). I have met 3 men I would be willing to date and I am dating one of them consistently. One I met in my neighborhood and the other two through on-line dating. Yes, I finally put together that profile, the catchy name and got pictures I wasn't embarrassed to show to the world. Through Annie's help (and her class about on-line dating), it was hardly painful at all. Just a little effort. In about a month, I went from no dates for at least 10 years, to a dating life, if not yet a love life. And I'm actually beginning to believe that the love life is possible. UPDATE! Well it seemed impossible, but after almost two years, I am still dating one of the men I met online. Actually I am exclusively seeing him. Dating does not seem like a strong enough word. We are serious and I guess I do have to admit to having a love life now. So thank you Annie! "Get a love life" has changed my life.

After just one session with Annie, I was finding single men where I'd never noticed them before. Not only that, but more of them were talking with me - even asking me out!

Annie's straightforward and practical advice helped me polish up my online profile. Since I revised it, I have been getting 'hits', and have started meeting new people again.

Annie's advice is always spot on. She keeps me working towards what I really want, instead of following my distractions...

I thought that I was hopeless until I met Annie. She really is a miracle worker! After updating my wardrobe, working with my body language, helping me to make my home more welcoming to a man, I met the best guy in years. And he thinks I'm wonderful! Without Annie coaching me, encouraging me to meet more people every day, this would have never happened.

Annie, you did an amazing job helping me with my profile. I am getting far more responses to it than before. Thanks!

When it comes to helping men understand how to approach women Annie has clearly done her homework. I went from speechless to successfully meeting great women in a couple of months. Now, I'm seeing someone who is a great match for me.

Annie, Thank you again for the long conversation. It really helped me to get through that emotional tangle and I feel very ready to move onto new people and experiences now. I really appreciate your compassion and great ideas!

I think Annie is fantastic. She got me to be willing to broaden my search, and now I've been in the best relationship of my life for over 2 years!

I thank my lucky stars (everyday) I found Annie!

In the process of working with Annie on Get a Love Life, my new-found appreciation, empathy for and understanding of the opposite sex has had a profound impact on not only my love life, but my life in general. I don't think it was mere coincidence that I've now found the love of my life and am happier than I've ever been in a relationship--ever! It's never too late and it's pretty much guaranteed that Annie can shed light and enlightenment on your journey. Thank you, Annie!

Annie spent a couple of hours determining what colors of clothing looked great on me by placing many swatches of different fabric colors next to my face. Then we went to Macy’s and tried on several shirts and pants until we found the right combinations. I walked out with three gorgeous shirts and a couple of pairs of pants that made me feel like a million dollars. And now I know what colors look great on me. Thanks, Annie!
