I value bliss in everyday life. Love to have intimate philosophical and intellectual discussions by the fire or under the stars. Working on a book about spontaneity. Food and wine gourmet. Grow rose garden and hike daily. Adore my 19 yo son and his Australian shepherd blue eyes puppy. Looking forward to making a change in other people’s lives!

How To Get Introduced To A Featured Club Member

Step 1:  To meet our featured members, please create your confidential social profile (fill out only Marcel Proust’s portion of the dating profile unless you would like to join our free confidential dating database as well). It will be only visible to a matchmaker and the potential introduction of your choice and never displayed to the general public without your request and permission.

Step 2:  Request an introduction to the member(s) of your interest. We will send the social portion of your profile to that member.

Step 3:  Once a person of your interest approves your profile and there is mutual acceptance, a one-time intro fee of $250 applies. If your profile was rejected, no fees are charged.

Step 4:  We would then send you both an introduction email and exchange your phone numbers. If you prefer to skip the hassle and avoid a possible online misunderstanding, we can arrange the introduction for you where you meet each other in person for an additional $100 fee.

Step 5 :  If you would like to be approached by our visitors and receive free introductions, please request to turn your existing social or dating profile into a Featured Social Profile and get displayed in our Orenda Club Gallery.
