- Angel Luis Gonzalez de Cruzado -

On June 5, 2009 I left Microsoft to start a matchmaking and dating company called Guys And Girls Next Door.  I have been responsible for the software development, sales, marketing, psychology, business development, human resources, etc. in building a company from the ground up.

The mission of the company has always been to provide singles a matchmaking service that combines face-to-face events, coaching and feedback. I designed the company to meet the needs of today’s busy singles and professionals, creating social scenes for people with an interest in dating and extending their social circle.

On October 1, 2009, we launched Guys And Girls Next Door BETA and went forward with acquiring clients under a subscription based model.  We went from business requirements to software development to execution and implementation in a four month time frame.  We were also recognized and profiled in Seattle Business Magazine and the Seattle PI soon after our launch.  On December 1 we started to incorporate the feedback that we received from our clients and decided to not take anymore clients until we developed a database that I felt comfortable with in providing our dating members.  I expected to launch the company on January 2 and, well everything changed.

On January 2, 2010 I realized that partnering with your girlfriend in building a company from the ground up took a significant toll in my personal relationship. What went wrong?  Well, to be candid here, leaving a professional position and starting a company brings on significant stresses and surprises that are unpredictable.  Most people decide to start a company on the side in addition to having their full time job.  I, on the other hand, hated my job so much that I put all my chips on Black 24 and decided to leave Microsoft and follow my heart with my girlfriend.  Following my heart led me to hire 15+ unpaid interns, outsourcing the web development and design to Portugal, Estonia, India, Philippines, Portland, Oregon and California.  It allowed me to be creative and build a company.  For several months I worked 24 x 7 to the point that I put a white board in my kitchen to keep up and track all the areas of development required to launch the company.

If I were to do things differently, I would have placed a timeline in place that was more realistic, sat down with my ex’s family to ensure that they were in agreement to be supportive of us building a company, had a midpoint or a formal discussion to see what was working and not working with my ex to see what we could do differently, ensured that we had a balanced work ethic that included personal, physical, spiritual, and relationship growth. A hard and soft structure that would allow me to step away from operating the day to day start up and be committed to my personal development and the development of my relationship with my ex.

What is clear is that I did not have any work life balance. Additionally, I would attribute that my failure in balancing my life led, partly, to my ex and I going our separate directions. I made mistakes. I have learned from them, am a better person today and don’t expect to repeat my mistakes.

What this means for Guys And Girls Next Door is that I will provide matchmakers and event planners in Seattle and in different cities around the country an opportunity to use Guys And Girls Next Door as a platform to help meet the needs of today’s busy singles and professionals, creating social scenes for people with an interest in dating and extending their social circle. I built a dating platform that can scale and am proud of that. I have invested a significant amount of time and energy and will subsidize the Seattle branch to four matchmakers and two event planners who have an interest in collaborating and partnering in creating an amazing matchmaking company. Everyone will be an independent contractor, but this will provide people the drive and energy and enthusiasm to help our members expand their social networks and explore a committed relationship.

My next steps. Although I have decided to keep the mission alive, I have decided to relocate to Santa Monica to work for an online advertising platform company and lead their North America HR operations.  This role is a natural fit for me since I have worked with multinationals all over the world in building out their HR capabilities. I have been in HR since graduating from undergrad and prior to starting Guys And Girls Next Door, I developed myself for the role I recently accepted. The position is in Santa Monica, California.  I will continue to be an entrepreneur personally and professionally.  However I will live, work, and play on Santa Monica beach. It’s a career opportunity that I could not give up at this point in time. In brief, I have a personal interest and investment in the success of Guys And Girls Next Door as not only am I the Founder of the company, but will also be a Client.

I have been humbled by my experience living, working and playing in Seattle. As many of you may know, I have always taken the road less traveled and hope, as Robert Frost indicated in his poem, that it will make all the difference. I will continue to invest in Seattle Guys And Girls Next Door and apply what I have learned in continuing to step outside my comfort zone.

If you have an interest or know someone interested in helping others be great by being a matchmaker or an event planner, please feel free to contact me on my cell phone at 206-718-9394.

Warm Regards,

Laura, ESFP on the MBTI, 52, 5’- 8”, white, attractive, stylish, playful psychotherapist who enjoys playing cards and board games, dancing, going to the movies or going to see a show at the Paramount. She loves to watch people at Green Lake as she goes for a morning or afternoon walk. Physically, Laura is not overweight, but is also not skinny. She is a woman with hips and curves. She loves intimate and intellectual conversations and is interested in dating singles that have never been married or single dads with kids in middle/high school or that have left the nest. She loves romance and is very personable. Laura is spiritual and believes in the laws of attraction, positive thinking, personal power, and visualizing success.

 Laura is a busy single professional.  She is starting her own private practice.  She is applying the skills she learned in the technology sector in her previous career with her insightful, caring and sassy ways to start a private practice focused on helping others. When not trying to save the world, she is caring for her son in middle school.  Personally, Laura has learned a lot about herself; her son has taught her a few lessons here and there and is a whiz kid on Facebook. Her divorce gave her an opportunity to learn about herself and to focus on becoming a better person.  Laura is ready to date and has an interest in exploring a romantic connection with a Guy who can share his feelings emotionally and physically with her.

 Her areas of personal strength:  Smart. Fun. Takes a genuine interest in others and can share what is on her mind. In short… she is simple, straight-forward and honest. Likes fashion, but is down to earth and practical. Is flexible on the weekends, but likes some structure. She loves to live for the moment and can hold her own ground in ensuring that she makes everything even steven enjoyable!

Her areas of personal development:  She lives for the moment, but can let this cloud her ability to see where the relationship is going.  Laura needs someone to ground her.  She loves to focus on others and can, at times, not pay attention to her own needs. 

 Her Guy Next Door:  Laura is intrigued with Guys who are Extroverts and with the ISTJ/ISFJ personality type on the MBTI. You could be a bank examiner, accountant, auditor, or tax examiner. You could also be a high school teacher working in physical education or working in the sciences (nutritionist, pharmacist, dental hygienist, etc.). You embrace the love of their relationship. You live in the moment and love every day. You love every day, but can plan past the day to day moment Laura lives in.  Since intimacy is important to Laura, it’s important for you to know that she wants to share her five senses with you. When it comes to conflict, it’s important that you have good constructive discussion. Laura is a simple and straight-forward, but may fall asleep if the conversation goes to theoretical or abstract.  Laura is comfortable with having the limelight or sharing it.  At the end of the day, if you are happy, comfortable and want a life partner with a woman who is open to sharing her life with you, contact Guys And Girls Next Door.

Her areas of personal development: Diane enjoys structure and is adaptable and flexible, but, at times, can be inflexible if something violates her inner values. Since Diane can be reserved and shy initially, it might take her time to share her most deeply held values and feelings. A gentleman who understands her sensitive and introspective side and can utilize his interpersonal skills to understand her values and goals is incredibly important.

Her Guy Next Door: ENFJ/ESFJ on the MBTI. You may be divorced or never married. You’re the type of Guy Next Door who works with your hands. There is no need to pay someone what you can do yourself. You may work in construction, behind the scenes in television and radio, in the restaurant industry, coach or be a teacher. You are warm and sympathetic and practical. You like to live in harmony and are comfortable establishing and maintaining warm and genuine interpersonal relationships. Wearing jeans, throwing the mountain bikes in the trunk and going for a hike is second nature to you. If you can relate to “not all who wander are lost” you will enjoy going on a date with Diane.

Is dating in Seattle so different than any other major city in the United States?  I have lived in Seattle, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and Boston.  These five cities not only have baseball and football teams, but they have a lot of cool and diverse people that have relocated to live there.  These beautiful cities also offer a lot of dating opportunities for singles, but what do they have in Dating Common?

Before I answer that question, I’m going to address something that has been shared with us over and over again.  Strangers and clients of Guys And Girls Next Door alike have shared with us how difficult it is to date in Seattle. That people are not friendly.  That something happens to people when they move here.  Their experience is so palpable that they have given it a name. They call it the ‘Seattle Freeze.’

What is the Seattle Freeze? I looked for a definition on Wikipedia and could not find it.  Let me see if I can describe it. It’s when you say ‘hi’ or ‘how are you’ to a complete stranger in Seattle and the person looks at you like you have two heads and eight arms.  The stranger that you just said ‘hello’ freezes up like a deer looking into headlights.  They literally freeze – not sure what to say or do.  They may even make an unintentional facial expression that may make you feel bad that you even said hello.  Worse yet, the person may walk away in a state of shock and update their online status on Facebook or Twitter to 300 or so of their friends saying the following: ‘I just told a creeper to leave me alone.’

Have you experienced the Seattle Freeze? Did you receive it or give it?  I know that you know that I am exaggerating my point here a little bit, but people freezing up is not unusual.  They are just in a state of shock that someone actually talked to them because the 40,000+ people from Microsoft have been behind the computer all day working on Windows 7 or Bing; the 76,000+ people working at Boeing building airplanes or the next 787, or the 4,000+ employees at Amazon developing the next amazing logistics/distribution system and ensuring that the Kindle is distributed globally using their amazing distribution system.

I don’t have the research to prove it, but I am willing to bet that a lot of these jobs require people to spend a lot of time behind a computer – developing code, inventing new things, designing or redesigning software, hardware, or mechanical equipment.  What would happen if you spend 40+ a week behind a computer or 2080+ (one year of working full time) hours a year behind a computer?  Let’s face it.  People in Seattle do freeze up a little bit, but it is not the end of the world.

What if I were to tell you that every city has, in my opinion, its own Seattle Freeze?  Yup!  I believe that every city has its own culture and dating norm.  Allow me to provide you some context.  Lets start with Los Angeles.

Los Angeles. I remember living there and signing up for a beach volleyball class and hearing how impossible it is to meet someone new.  People would say: everyone is so superficial – that you can’t date anyone with substance.  People work out, go shopping, drive fancy cars, go to cocktail parties, yada yada, yada… everyone is just trying to get a leg up in the entertainment industry.

Chicago. I was only there for a few months, but long enough to hear the phrase – everyone in Chicago is so Midwest nice.  Whoa!  Yup.  You get invited to come over and watch football, have a beer on a deck, go to a baseball game, but everyone is so Midwest nice.  In other words, everyone is so friendly, you get invited over to barbeques, but when you leave the barbeque, your personality gets shredded to pieces.  In brief, people will smile, be friendly, but like a Seinfeld episode, it can be pretty much a conversation about nothing.

New York. This is where it gets super interesting.  The common phrase from women: the guys here are so aggressive; from men: the women are all stuck up.  Women would complain how they could not go anywhere without being harassed by men.  Men will complain that women don’t want to talk with them.  Women, that you can’t go to a bar lounge without someone hitting on you or making a romantic pass at you.  Uggh!

Boston. This is my hometown.  I love Boston. There are 85 private colleges and universities in Boston. Note here that I did not say public.  There are 85 private colleges and universities and, if you think about tuition and room and board, that means that on average each student pays $32,000 a year to go to school.  So, take the wealthiest people from all over the world and place them in one city and that is Boston for you.  People in Boston don’t freeze. On the contrary, they are direct, but the conversation starts like this:  Where do you live? Where did you go to school?  What do you do?  If it sounds a little invasive, it can be if you did not go to school there.

Every city has its own version of the Seattle Freeze. The one thing that we all have in common is that everyone, at one point in time, was a stranger. That’s right.  I can almost guarantee to you that if you are a busy single or professional you will always be, at one point in time or another, a stranger. Let’s think about that for a minute.  Do you remember when you first went to summer camp? Studied overseas? First went to college? Moved to a new neighborhood? Started your career? Took a new class?

Now, let’s look to the future?  Will you move to a new neighborhood?  Get a new job? Relocate to a new city? Take a new class?  Join a (kickball) team? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, you will be a stranger again.  That is what we have in Dating Common.  We all have in Dating Common that we are all strangers, will be strangers and will meet strangers. Next time you meet a stranger, extend your hand, smile and reply by saying:  hi, I am great, thank you, my name is…, what is your name?

Guys And Girls Next Door

Angel Cruzado moved to Seattle to pursue a romantic relationship in 2006. When things didn’t work out, he found himself single last year. As a single and busy professional, he explored all his online dating and matchmaking options. He took time out of his workday and evenings to compose multiple online matchmaking profiles, and even placed online matchmaking ads with no lasting or real results.

When the cyber world failed him, Angel tried local franchises for dates and events. Exorbitant prices and uncomfortable high-pressure sales tactics sent him out the door. The whole experience left him feeling even more lonely and isolated than when he started.

As a busy or single professional, your experience should never be like his. Angel left his job at Microsoft in June of 2009 and created GND-Seattle LLC (dba GuysAndGirlsNextDoor.com) to take online dating offline for Seattle Guys And Girls Next Door.

Guys and Girls Next Door (GND) is a new matchmaking service that combines face-to-face events, coaching and feedback. It is designed to meet the needs of today’s busy singles, creating social scenes for people with an interest in dating and extending their social circle.

GND offers three distinct services:

• Matchmaking: one-to-one personalized introductions.
• Social Matchmaking: an invitation to meet new people in fun, comfortable social settings.
• Relationship Coaching: have a one-to-one session or take a dating class to develop the skills you need to enter a new relationship.

Prior to starting the company, Angel was a Management Development Consultant with Microsoft and worked as a Human Resources Business Partner and Coach with employees in multiple professions in global Fortune 100 companies located across the United States. Angel graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison with a graduate degree in Management and Human Resources and Bentley University with a undergraduate degree in Management.

Mary Starks, Allen Rodriguez and Angel Cruzado are the founders of http://www.GuysAndGirlsNextDoor.com.

Angel Cruzado, Executive Director

Do you know that according to the MBTI there are 16 different personality type preferences – each equally valuable with its natural strengths and weaknesses? Rather than limiting your understanding of yourself by stereotyping yourself, we use the MBTI to help our members better understand themselves and find their complements.

The feedback that we are receiving from our members (busy, single professionals, ranging from mid 20s to late 50s) is that they wished they had learned about their Type in prior relationships.  Understanding your Type enables each person to understand his or her values, drives, and motivations.

We use the powerful tool of the MBTI to provide our members with common language of their Type and their opposite/complement prior to introducing them to other members.

We are a new matchmaking company. We created this start-up from the ground up for Seattle singles.  We are investing in Seattle.  We are increasing our database every day.  If you have single friends, family members and business colleagues, please tell them about our new matchmaking company and our services:

• Matchmaking: one-to-one personalized introductions.
• Social Matchmaking: an invitation to meet new people in fun, comfortable social settings.
• Relationship Coaching: have a one-to-one session or take a dating class to develop the skills you need to enter a new relationship.

By discovering your Type you can learn how to understand, accept, and appreciate yourself and your new romantic interest for who they really are.  By investing in Guys And Girls Next Door, you and your Seattle single friends can Meet People… Not Their Profiles. Check out our MBTI services now in our Relationship Coaching webpage: www.GuysAndGirlsNextDoor.com/services? 

Guys And Girls Next Door

Thank you for being our friend and supporting our new matchmaking company. We had a great weekend visiting neighborhoods in the Greater Seattle area on the Conference Bike promoting the Group Date .

Since April 10, we have been working with a team of individuals to start a matchmaking company for Seattle singles. Some of these individuals have donated their time, others have worked with us to get experience, but most have come to us because they hate the dating options that are available to them.

The feedback has been crystal clear: “Dating online can be lonely and isolating. How many online matchmaking profiles do I really need to meet someone? Going to franchise matchmaking companies is an option, but it’s just cost prohibitive.”

Here is the deal. We have invested a lot of time, energy and money to create a local Seattle company that meets your needs and the needs of your single friends, family and business colleagues. No more hiding behind profiles: Meet People. Not Their Profiles.

Our ask. Our ask is that you and your friends make the switch from online matchmaking companies to Guys And Girls Next Door. We have a great promotion that ends in 15 days, October 31. Seeing someone? Forward this blog. Intrigued? Visit us online.  Want to show us some love? Post this blog on your profile.  Want us to make some changes?  Provide us feedback.  Want to meet singles in Seattle?  Sign up.

Joining is easy: Your next step is to have you or your friends call us now at 206-866-5783 or complete your membership profile online and we’ll meet you offline.

We offer three distinct services:

• Matchmaking: one-to-one personalized introductions.
• Social Matchmaking: an invitation to meet new people in fun, comfortable social settings.
• Relationship Coaching: have a one-to-one session or take a dating class to develop the skills you need to enter a new relationship.
