So as a matchmaker, how would you say one finds compatibility in someone else?
I think it’s good to start with having a shared value system. A similar sense of humor is really important.
Do you think people who have different politics or religious differences could be compatible?
I think politics are much more decisive than religion right now. A lot of Trump people will date liberal people, but liberal people don’t want to date Trump people because it seems like a violation of women’s rights.
Have you found your perfect soulmate?
I am for the first time in my life single.
What does being single feel like in New York?
It’s very strange. And I can’t date my clients either so I don’t know what I’m going to do.
Are you looking?
I’m taking a little time for some self-care before I settle.
