Ryan, an entrepreneur in his sixties living in Berlin, approached Maclynn in 2024 in search of a partner who shared his love of family, culture and adventure. Family-oriented, kind-hearted and globally minded, these were the qualities he hoped to find reflected in a partner.
Having previously experienced a relationship that struggled to integrate with his close family life, Ryan was clear about what truly mattered. He was looking for someone based in Europe, with grown-up children of her own, who valued connection, travel, creativity and authenticity.
I introduced him to an inspiring woman who was successful in her own right, creative, compassionate and equally family-focused. Although she carried some initial nerves about dating again, their shared values and effortless compatibility allowed the connection to unfold naturally.
Today, their relationship continues to thrive. They have travelled together, met one another’s families and are enjoying a kind, grounded and joyful partnership.
