Something More in Austin lives up to its name by offering its clientele something more than what they'll find at ordinary dating services. "We do a custom search for our clients," says Julia McCurley, "to provide them exactly what type of person they are looking for, as opposed to a member to member matching like the rest do."
As Julia McCurley knew long before she started Something More in Austin, the dating scene is one that is fraught with pitfalls that too many eligible singles have stumbled into. While there are no magic formulas, she says that there are some common sense tips that people should pay attention to when they are going out on a first date with someone. You should always try to look at feel your best, she says, which means dress nicely and bring a positive attitude to the experience. Be careful not to talk too much; let your date know that you are as interested in what he or she has to say, as you hope they are interested in what you have to say. Don't expect too much too soon from your date, either. The other person may be coming off of a failed relationship and be a little gun shy about getting too close too quickly.
Julia McCurley says that she created Something More in Austin to provide people with a more targeted approach to finding love, than what is offered at more conventional dating services. She holds certification from the Matchmaking Institute, and is a graduate of Puget Sound University.
