Mindy & Mark

 

Mindy & Mark

Mindy is a successful entrepreneur, and a single mom of two teens. Mindy met her ex-husband Jason when she was 16 years old. He was best friends/ roommates with her brother and 6 years older than her. When she was 19, they were set up on a date. He pursued her by bringing a gift to every date. He was funny, had a successful career, and everyone in the family loved him.

They ended up getting married and had 2 kids. Mindy lived a dream life raising her kids by day and working as a dance teacher in the evening. They started building a successful business together. After 5 years of a successful business he went through a very dark time with losing his dad and his job. Jason started pushing Mindy away and didn’t want anything to do with her. Mindy went through a phase of unworthiness and her gut started to tell her something was wrong. She learned he was having an affair with her best friend (who was now their office manager).

During the separation, Mindy had tunnel vision trying to figure it all out. She has never been on her own and now she was uprooted from her life to raise two kids and run a business on her own. Her main focus at the time was finding a place to live and survive.

Once she had settled down, Mindy’s mom insisted she start dating. Mindy had no idea what she was doing because she never really dated before. When she started to meet men, she saw the good, the bad, the ugly, and the scary!!! She ended up meeting someone WORSE than her ex-husband and dated him for 3 years.

During Covid, Mindy listened to Bela on Instagram every week. She related to every topic and learned so much about herself, her dating habits, and how she should date. At the end of 2021, she was sick and tired of being sick and tired, and decided to take the 'steering wheel' of her dating life. Mindy reached out to Bela, went to Chicago and SDA made Mindy feel like Cinderella for a day. She also did coaching with Lindsay and she helped Mindy set up a dating funnel. Mindy launched her dating profile on Match on March 7th, 2022.

The very same day Mark not only super liked her, but messaged her. He continued to pursue Mindy by messaging her, then by texting, and setting up a phone date. He set up the phone call for March 10th at 8:15pm. That night Mindy was on a date and there was a crazy snow storm. So, she couldn’t pick up the phone on her drive home because she was driving in a blizzard. He texted her saying he would like to set up another time to talk and the next one was set up for March 13th. Mindy learned from Lindsey during coaching to only spend about 20-30 minutes on facetime. Well, Mindy thought they were planning on talking on the phone and had taken a nap. She was surprised that he was facetiming her and that it wasn’t a regular phone call. Her hair was in a messy bun and her mascara was a bit smudged. They face-timed for an hour and had nothing but a great conversation!

Mindy and Mark had their first date at a pizza brewery two days later. Mindy remembers walking in thinking how handsome and professional he looked in slacks and a dress shirt. The conversation was effortless and just felt so natural. They went on several more amazing lunch dates within the next couple of weeks and ended up eventually going on an evening date which turned into a wonderful evening of sharing stories and lots of laughter.

In the meantime, Mindy followed the dating advice she learned from SDA and didn’t let the funnel stop. She continued to stay on Match, message men, facetime, and had dates. She had someone love bomb her and after a bad date she just knew she wanted to continue seeing Mark. They had at least 2-3 dates set up each week. During one of the dates he told her that he only wanted to date her and that he was falling for her. They both agreed on exclusivity. They introduced each other to their kids, family, and friends and both knew that this was a process and that they would continue to grow and learn more about each other.

Mindy and Mark are so in love and have so many plans for the future. Mindy has truly found the lid to her pot. Their relationship is so easy and they have been discussing marriage.
