Cupid's Playbook

Our Story

We are Jeannine and Keith Kaiser and we know what it is like to re-enter the dating world mid-life. We were both recycled into the dating game after being married for more than a decade to the wrong partner.

After our divorces, we both started dating again, but with very different intents. Jeannine wanted to find another relationship and Keith wanted to sow his wild oats and then maybe he would settle down again.

Somewhere along the road, we both decided that we had to change what we were doing. We kept attracting partners that didn’t meet our needs and often left us feeling empty or broken-hearted. Unknowingly, we both did the same thing at the same time. We started to reflect on our relationship desires and started making a list of what we wanted in an ideal partner. We both started to work on ourselves and raise our dating and relationship IQ by reading books, taking classes and improving our internal dialog. By doing so, we realized what we wanted and that we deserved to find someone wonderful.

After we both had finished our relationship list, we had a fateful meeting in the University of San Francisco’s break room where Keith was a professor and Jeannine a student. We reached for the coffee at the same time. Was love at first sight? Was there instant chemistry? Keith often responds to this question by saying, “If you mean that there were two carbon-based life forms meeting, then yes!”

We became very good friends after meeting for coffee or a glass of wine after class for months on end. But we both started to realize that we both met each other’s ideal mate desires. We fell in love.

Family and friends question whether we would be a good couple. We were dating someone who wasn’t our “type.” We say “Thank Goodness.” Our previous “type” wasn’t what we need or wanted. When we shared our relationship list, we realized that we had found “the one.” On Valentines Day 1999, Keith popped the question and we were married on Valentines Day 2000.

Jeannine’s friends wanted to find someone as wonderful as Keith. So, Jeannine who had become a life coach began to coach her single friends to do the same things that she and Keith had done to find the right life partner. Time and time again, her friends found the right person, fell in love and got married.

We realized that we had found something—the key to finding wonderful love. From this discovery we began to instruct others and again, people began to fall in love with the right partner. Keith began to coach singles and our company was born.

Our book holds many of the secrets from our coaching. If you read our book and do the exercises, chances are very high that you will find “the one.”
