Matchmaker has a baby on her own and guarantees it will attract a partner
How the world of dating has evolved...
The traditional way of looking at love has generally taken the form of first finding love, then starting a family. But we all know that we live in a diverse society, that doesn't necessarily fall into that order.
Some start their families first then decide on marriage and all the other things that come with love. There's no rule book when it comes to finding love, but to hear that a professional matchmaker is finding her own way of finding love, now that's something.
"When Rachel Russo ended a relationship at age 35 because her partner, a dad of two, didn't want any more kids, she decided to shake up the traditional order of family-building operations. Rather than wait to meet the right person and risk losing her most fertile years in the meantime, Russo pursued solo parenting before seeking a mate." (Business Insider)
This is certainly an interesting way of planning out your journey to love, it's also quite risky. Ahh, but to live on the edge is what gets the blood pumping harder and the heart beating faster.
I believe that you could have a lot of what you want in life, but not necessarily at the same time. So this was me just prioritising and saying, 'You know what? Baby's first, love can come later, love can come at any time.

Well, it seems her theory has definitely got some foundation to it. Russo, the mother of two-month-old Serafina, shared that she has become more desirable to potential partners than ever before.
"Her nontraditional approach has paid off. By the time Serafina was just six weeks, Russo had already received three messages from interested men. Syrtash, a relationships writer, said she suspects they're are drawn to both Russo's drive to go after what she wants, as well as the high value she places on parenting." (Business Insider)
We love that she owned this chapter of her life. She believed in it and it clearly is working out for her. Now she doesn't have to rush to find love, it can be cool and easy going, because she has already found fulfilment in being a mother.
What do you think? Love and marriage first, or vice versa, or it doesn't matter?
