LINX CONFIDENTIAL

Newsletter #21

Dear Subscriber First Name,

There couldn't be a more meaningful way to close out July and welcome August than by celebrating a love story that has come full circle. This coming weekend, I'll have the privilege of attending the elegant black-tie wedding of one of my treasured VIP clients, a couple whose journey together has blossomed into what truly feels like a real-life fairy tale. Moments like these are a powerful reminder of why I've dedicated the past 23 years to this work.

Every introduction carries with it the possibility of something extraordinary: two remarkable people finding one another, discovering that their shared values are stronger than their differences, learning to appreciate one another's unique perspectives, navigating life's inevitable compromises with grace, and choosing, day after day, to build a partnership rooted in trust, respect, laughter, and love. I couldn't be more honored to celebrate alongside them.

Every introduction we make represents someone's hope for the future, and that is a responsibility we have never taken lightly. It is both a privilege and an enormous responsibility to be entrusted with such an important chapter in someone's life. That commitment continues to inspire everything we do at Linx.

With that in mind, I feel deeply humbled to share that this month brought another wonderful reason to celebrate. Linx was honored to be voted “Best of the Bay 2026” in the category of Love & Matchmaking by Modern Luxury Silicon Valley Magazine.

While awards are always meaningful, this recognition feels especially special because it reflects something we've believed from the very beginning: that finding the right partner is one of the most important investments a person can make. I am profoundly grateful for the trust our clients place in us every day and for the opportunity to play even a small role in helping extraordinary people find extraordinary love.

Our mission has remained the same. We take the time to truly understand the people who trust us with their stories, their goals, and their vision for a life partner. We believe great matchmaking isn't about algorithms or endless swiping. It's about intuition, experience, carefully curated introductions, and a genuine commitment to helping extraordinary people find one another.

Of course, this recognition wouldn't be possible without our incredible clients and team. Thank you for allowing us to be part of such an important chapter in your lives. Your trust, kindness, and willingness to stay open to possibility continue to inspire our entire team every single day.

Here's to celebrating love, new beginnings, and all that's still to come.

Affectionately yours,

Amy Andersen

FEATURED CLIENT OF THE MONTH

Meet our Bay Area–based 75-year-old client. Standing 6'0" with a fit, athletic build, he has built a remarkable life centered on family, integrity, and meaningful relationships. Widowed four years ago after 42 wonderful years of marriage, he took the time to heal and is now ready to find love again. While he isn't in a rush to remarry, he believes deeply in lifelong commitment, companionship, and building a joyful life together.

A graduate of Miami University (Ohio), where he earned his business degree cum laude, he built a highly successful career before retiring to focus on what matters most: family, friendships, health, travel, and fun activities. Friends describe him as caring, generous, thoughtful, and an exceptional listener who makes others feel instantly at ease.

He leads an active lifestyle and believes in making the most of every day. Whether he's working out, playing golf at San Francisco's Olympic Club, following Bay Area sports, reading, traveling, or enjoying a great meal with loved ones, he brings enthusiasm and gratitude to life's everyday moments. Family remains at the center of his world, and he looks forward to hopefully becoming an involved grandfather while continuing to embrace new adventures.

Warm, emotionally intelligent, and optimistic, he values kindness, communication, laughter, and genuine partnership. He believes the best relationships are built through friendship, trust, affection, and a shared commitment to creating meaningful memories together.

His ideal match is a woman between 62 and 73 years old who lives in the Bay Area and is ready for a committed, monogamous relationship. She's warm, emotionally mature, family-oriented, and enjoys staying active. She appreciates thoughtful conversation, playful banter, spontaneous weekend getaways, and believes life's greatest moments are often the simplest ones shared with the right person.

What makes this gentleman truly special is his generosity of spirit, unwavering character, and gratitude for the life he has built. He has so much love left to give and is excited by the possibility that his next great love story is still ahead.

THE POWER OF MOVEMENT AND CONNECTION

One of the most fascinating ways to observe connection in real time is through dance. Styles like bachata and other Latin partner dances are built on communication, responsiveness, and trust. Two people learn to move together, listen without speaking, and respond to subtle cues. A quiet dialogue unfolds through posture, timing, and energy, long before a word is exchanged.

What makes dance so compelling is that it mirrors many of the dynamics of a healthy relationship. It requires attentiveness, patience, and a willingness to adapt to another person's rhythm. The experience works best when both people remain present and responsive.

Dance also reminds us that connection is not only intellectual or emotional. It is physical, rhythmic, and deeply human. In a world where so much interaction happens through screens, shared experiences that engage the body and the senses can feel grounding and surprisingly powerful.

The same is true beyond dance. Walking side by side, cooking together, or exploring a new place often creates a natural sense of ease. Connection, after all, is not only something we think about but also something we feel. It's something we feel. And often, it's in these simple, shared moments that the strongest bonds begin to take shape.

Looking for inspiration? Here are two Bay Area date ideas:

• Studio M Ballroom Club (San Jose): Learn ballroom, Latin, or social dancing together in a welcoming, elegant setting. It's a fun, interactive way to build trust, strengthen your connection, and create lasting memories together.

• Shakespeare Under the Stars (San Francisco): Pack a blanket and enjoy the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival's Free Shakespeare in the Park for a relaxed evening beneath the stars.

UPCOMING EVENTS

As we continue through the summer, I encourage you to embrace opportunities to connect. Say yes to the dinner invitation. Take the weekend trip. Introduce yourself to someone new. Some of life's most meaningful relationships begin in moments we never could have planned.

Along those lines, one event that recently caught my attention, while not affiliated with Linx, is the Le Blanc Summer Soirée, hosted by Harvard Business School Association of Northern California Board Member AJ Gandhi. Taking place on Saturday, August 15th, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m., this elegant all-white garden party will be held at the historic French château in Hillsborough, once home to Bing Crosby. It promises an afternoon of engaging conversation, accomplished guests from the MBA and Ivy+ community, and a beautiful setting designed to foster genuine connection. Learn more here!
