Is There a Matchmaker in Malibu for Singles Over 40?
Yes. Julie Ferman is a Los Angeles matchmaker and dating coach who works with selective singles over 40 in Malibu, California, and across western Los Angeles County, and has done so since 2001. She works with men and women of all ages, and her singles events are planned by age group, including the 40s and 50s and mature singles in their 60s and beyond. She limits her client list, selects and vets every introduction herself, and both people see photos and a detailed profile and agree before a date is arranged. Nothing is public. She has personally registered more than 40,000 singles and is credited with over 1,500 couples. Personal matchmaking starts at $25,000; before that, Julie offers a 60-minute Strategy Session for $295, and registering is free. Her Los Angeles office is on Wilshire Boulevard, and her clients also live in nearby Calabasas and Westlake Village.
A Boutique Matchmaker for a Private Community
Julie has three decades in the dating world, and her work has been covered by The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
In Malibu, privacy is part of the brief. Your registration is confidential, your photos and profile are shown only to the person Julie proposes, and she qualifies every candidate herself.
She writes often about dating later in life, including dating over 50 and dating over 60, where she explains why she does better with her older clients than her younger ones.
Dating After 40, With a Matchmaker
Dating after 40 is different. You usually know what you want, and your life is already full: a career, maybe children, a home you’re not going to give up. Julie’s process is built around that.
Clear criteria
In a 60-minute Strategy Session you and Julie separate what you prefer from what you require. Before the session she runs a search, so you look at real candidates together.
Events by age group
Invitations to Julie’s singles events go only to registered members, and each event is planned for an age group, so you meet people at a similar stage of life.
Room for the relationship you want
Not everyone over 40 wants to move in or remarry. Julie has written about couples who choose living apart together, and your key criteria can reflect that.
A re-entry plan
If you’ve been out of dating for years, the 30-Day Boot Camp ($4,700) covers photos, profile and communication, with two one-on-one sessions with Julie. If you have lost a spouse, start with Julie’s advice for widows and widowers.
Serving Malibu and Western Los Angeles County
Malibu stretches along the Pacific Coast Highway in western Los Angeles County, California (ZIP code 90265). Julie works with singles in Malibu and the communities around it:
- Malibu
- Pacific Palisades
- Topanga
- Calabasas
- Agoura Hills
- Westlake Village
Julie’s clients already include singles in Calabasas and Westlake Village. Strategy Sessions are by phone or Zoom, so there is no drive into town.
Julie also works with singles in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and Brentwood and Manhattan Beach, and across Greater Los Angeles.
Who Julie Works With in Malibu
Julie works with relationship-minded men and women of all ages. Her approach suits Malibu singles who:
- Are in their 40s, 50s, 60s or beyond and ready for a committed relationship
- Are selective and want candidates screened before they meet them
- Value discretion and don’t want a public dating profile
- Are dating again after a divorce or the loss of a spouse
- Would rather be introduced than keep searching on their own
Clients 50 and Over, in Their Own Words
Both were 50 or older when they wrote to Julie. Quoted from her testimonials page:
“Peter and I would never have crossed paths, had we not been in your community.”
Jan, 63
“The perfect re-entry into dating for me. I feel more confident than ever - in myself, what I have to offer, and what I’m looking for.”
Christy, Calabasas, CA, 50, on Julie’s Boot Camp
