At Infinity Relations, we meet many people who are confident and successful in life, yet find love confusing or elusive. In his book 8 Rules of Love, author Jay Shetty offers a refreshing and structured approach to love, one that moves beyond fairy tales and fleeting attraction. He shows us that love is something we build, not something we simply fall into. Why we need to learn how to Love Love isn’t intuitive for most of us. We learn about it through films, social media, or our upbringing, all of which can leave us with distorted expectations. Jay Shetty invites us to stop leaving love to chance and start treating it as an intentional, daily practice. Rule 1: Love starts with solitude Before we can truly connect with someone else, we need to feel whole on our own. Shetty highlights the difference between loneliness and solitude. When we embrace being alone, we gain emotional strength, self-awareness, and clarity on what we value: foundations for any meaningful relationship. Rule 2: Break the cycle of past relationship patterns We all carry emotional baggage from our past. Whether it’s family dynamics, failed relationships, or cultural expectations, these experiences shape our idea of love. Shetty reminds us that we can choose to learn from the past and stop repeating the same mistakes. Self-awareness is key. Rule 3: Define what Love means to you What does love really mean to you? Emotional safety? Physical closeness? Shared goals? Many people say “I love you” without knowing what it really signifies. Shetty encourages us to define love clearly for ourselves and to take the time to explore compatibility before making deep commitments. Rule 4: Relationships are for growth A fulfilling relationship isn’t just about comfort, it’s about growth. Shetty compares partners to spiritual teachers or “gurus” who help each other evolve. This mindset helps us see challenges not as dealbreakers, but as opportunities to grow individually and together. Rule 5: Keep purpose at the heart of your life Healthy love requires a strong sense of self and purpose. When each partner is aligned with their life mission (dharma), the relationship becomes more supportive and balanced. Whether you’re building a business, pursuing a creative path, or raising a family, your calling matters and so does your partner’s. Rule 6: Learn to navigate conflict with care Conflict is natural, but how we handle it makes all the difference. Shetty outlines the difference between toxic and constructive conflict, encouraging couples to fight fair, communicate with clarity, and find peace together. True connection includes the courage to resolve – not avoid- disagreements. Rule 7: You’re not broken after a breakup A breakup can feel like the end of the world, but it’s not the end of you. Shetty reminds us that we existed before the relationship and we’ll exist after it, too. Healing comes when we invest in ourselves and rebuild from a place of self-worth, not fear. Rule 8: Love is bigger than romance Finally, love isn’t limited to romantic relationships. We can and should cultivate loving energy in all areas of life: with friends, family, colleagues, and even strangers. Acts of appreciation, empathy, and understanding create a ripple effect of connection that touches everyone around us. Ready to build the relationship you deserve?

After ten years of dating apps, it’s time for the next dating revolution. But what will it look like? Will we all turn to personal matchmakers, or will we leave it in the hands of AI? We explore the advantages and disadvantages of these trends and call a personal matchmaker to find out what it really takes to create the perfect match.

Hiring a matchmaker is becoming an increasingly common way to find love. While we’re still warming up to the idea here in Holland, in other countries it’s no more unusual than hiring a property agent to find a house. Lotte Ditzel and Saron van de Laar of Matchmaking agency DTNG., which is focused on mostly Dutch clientele, noticed they were receiving a growing number of international applicants. Rather than turning them away, the two decided to embrace this market and founded Infinity Relations: an exclusive matchmaking agency for successful international businesspeople and expats in the Netherlands. Bron: issuu.nl en hellozuidas.com Lotte launched her Matchmaking agency DTNG. five years ago. Today, the company manages a massive database and helps many people in the search for love. Having worked as a psychologist in psychiatry and with experience in recruitment and headhunting, Lotte possesses the perfect foundation for coaching clients and identifying the right matches. Saron joined DTNG. Three years ago, as one of Lotte’s Personal Matchmakers. With a background in applied psychology and experience working in neurology and subsequently as a dating coach and fashion stylist for dates, her talents dovetail with Lotte’s. Both have an immense passion and determination as ‘Headhunters in love’, sharing a deep commitment to quality, efficiency and fast, firm communication. Active approach What started with a client in Canada gradually led to the decision to focus on international clients, Saron says. “Internationals have a preference for personal dating agencies. It saves time and many needless disappointments. People are looking for genuine connections and depth, for quality and the knowledge they’re being taken care of.” To find the right partner, Infinity Relations takes a tailormade approach. Lotte: “We are members of a range of high-end business clubs where we approach people on an individual basis. We actively match singles with an elite clientele both within and outside our database.” The two women also offer personal guidance and coaching, and their emphasis on cultural differences and selfconfidence is particularly appreciated. Mutual trust Infinity Relations clients are all upscale internationals or internationally-oriented singles who lead an independent lifestyle. “Our first meeting is always with the person at home”, Saron explains. “Then we assess if they fit the profile of Infinity Relations and if there is a good connection. Trust is the most important aspect of the whole journey.” Lotte adds, “We always plan the first date. We’ll make a reservation at a nice wine bar or a romantic restaurant. You get to know each other a bit better after every date, which is even more valuable for finding the right match. It’s an amazing job!’’

Als jij denkt dat ware liefde niet voor jou is weggelegd, dan hebben wij goed nieuws! Matchmakers Lotte Ditzel en Saron van de Laar helpen jou graag bij het vinden van de ultieme partner. Met datingbureaus DTNG. en Infinity Relations hebben zij het matchen voor hoogopgeleiden, expats en succesvolle zakenmensen naar een ander niveau getild. Bron: Zuid.nl KWALITATIEF, INTEGER MÉT RESULTAAT Naar aanleiding van haar eigen ervaringen op de datingmarkt en de behoefte aan een betere aanpak, bedacht Lotte Ditzel dat het tijd was voor een kwalitatieve manier van daten mét resultaat. Met deze visie heeft DTNG. zich ontwikkeld tot een toonaangevend datingbureau in Nederland. Maar daar bleef het niet bij. “Over de jaren ontvingen we steeds meer aanmeldingen van expats en andere internationaal georiënteerde singles voor wie grenzen geen rol spelen”, vertelt Lotte. Dit bracht haar op het idee om samen met Saron het exclusieve datingbureau Infinity Relations te starten, dat volledig gericht is op expats en succesvolle zakenmensen. Dit resulteerde in twee datingbureaus met ieder hun eigen karakter. Met een team van ervaren matchmakers en een uitgebreide database maken ze het matchen van singles tot een groot succes. “We bieden een integere dienstverlening, maken duidelijke afspraken en doen wat we beloven.” vertelt Lotte. PERSOONLIJKE COACHING Uit ervaring blijkt dat het beeld wat mensen hebben van een datingbureau vaak niet klopt met de realiteit. Saron licht toe: “Er heerst regelmatig een vooroordeel over mensen die een datingbureau inschakelen. Ik zeg vaak: het zijn mensen zoals jij en ik. De één meldt zich aan omdat ze klaar zijn met de apps, de ander omdat ze het gevoel hebben de verkeerde mensen aan te trekken of ze vinden het fijn om een professional mee te laten kijken.” Met de jarenlange expertise en persoonlijke coaching onderscheiden zij zich in hun vak. “Je eindigt vaak met iemand waarvan je niet had bedacht dat je ervoor open zou staan.” De matchmakers kennen hun kwalitatieve database goed waardoor ze snelheid kunnen bieden in het matchen van klanten. “We streven naar één voorstel binnen vier weken. Het geheim zit in de persoonlijke coaching van de matchmakers én de wil om te leren van de klant. Mensen die zich open durven te stellen, kwetsbaar durven te zijn en niet te snel te oordelen. Je eindigt vaak met iemand waarvan je niet had bedacht dat je ervoor open zou staan”, aldus Saron.

Lotte vertelt: “Alles hebben we tot in de puntjes geregeld en voorbereid: denk aan diverse wijnproeverijen, golfclinics, luxe diners en lunches op waanzinnige locaties, en ook een ballonvaart. We kennen onze doelgroep goed en gaan persoonlijk naar de spots toe om in te schatten of het aansluit bij de wens van de klanten. Er is tijdens het weekend ruimte voor verbinding én ontspanning.
