ABOUT Sally

Sally Landau is a California-based dating coach and relationship expert. In the pantheon of professions, it may lag behind heart surgeon, climate scientist, or inner city school teacher, nevertheless, her sage coaching elevates dating and romance to its rightful place: mysterious, exciting, and essential.

Having lived a blessed life, majored in psychology, co-managed a prestigious architectural firm for many years, endured more self-help seminars than a sane, adjusted person would ever admit, and since 2001, been a certified life coach, Sally is expertly positioned to extend her trained hand to women of all ages; who hate to date and want a mate. Moreover, for those over forty, she oozes empathy.

Quick-witted, funny, sometimes acerbic but always caring, the whining-inclined might want to tread carefully. Sally instructs, she coaches, she inspires, she directs; and in her treasured reflective moments, she blogs. Dating Can Be Fun is her company name and up until 2003, it was her guiding mantra. Sally went on forty-six first dates with a wide array of quality men, and contrary to the avalanche of dreadful and life sapping dating stories she had heard about and partly expected, she had a ball.

Sally knows how to help clients love themselves, she guides self awareness, she crafts a process where women can genuinely define what they’re looking for in a mate, but most importantly, she preaches that the dating moment and journey have to be fun. In Sally’s universe, flirting is an example of such fun and undeserving of any bum rap. The thought of flirting, or even better, banter, can be a morning springboard to the day’s activities. As to how one executes said flirting, Sally’s coaching is invaluable; one might find themselves landing smack dab in the middle of romance.

It’s important to Sally that her client relationships understand that dating is an opportunity to be out in public and in a socially acceptable way, play with themselves (not sure what you mean, not that enamored with the phrase). Then no matter what happens on the date, the woman returns home a winner (need to rethink the point you’re tying to make, confusing).

Sally’s dating journey, her fun-filled trial and error, was extraordinarily providential. Lo and behold, Number 45 from August 2003 became the love of her life. August 22, 2009, will be her wedding day.
