Ask a Matchmaker

Maria is joined by her work husband, Louie Felix, to take your questions.  Questions Asked This Week Include… I’m moving to Austin in a few months! Should I wait to date when I move? I can’t tell if he’s love bombing me or just ito me. How do I tell the difference? I’m really interested in a guy, but I take health more seriously than he does. How else can I tell him that this is a priority and really important for me? When it comes to committing to someone, I start to lose interest in them. I find things wrong with them. Is there something I can do to reflect on why I’m doing that?  Follow Matchmaker Maria on Instagram at http://instagram.com/matchmakermaria and to learn more about Agape Match, visit http://agapematch.com.  To schedule a Dating Assessment with Louie, visit https://calendly.com/felix-louie This episode is brought to you by Nuuly.
