OPW - Maria Avgitidis, CEO of Agape Match and host of the Ask a Matchmaker podcast, has written her first book: Ask a Matchmaker: Matchmaker Maria's No-Nonsense Guide to Finding Love, out May 20, 2025, from St. Martin's Essentials. The book offers a straightforward, practical guide to modern dating, addressing key topics such as identifying what one really wants in a partner, aligning on values like finances, long-term goals, and religion, and writing a personal dating "manifest." It includes advice on using dating apps effectively, meeting people in real life, and navigating early-stage dating with tools like the "Twelve Date Rule." It also challenges outdated expectations about love and dating timelines. You can pre-order the book here.
Maria will also be a guest at our upcoming LTR42 event on May 14th, where she'll be interviewed by Mark about the book and her approach to finding love in the modern world.
