Sheila Brown, was like many successful professional women you meet today; college graduate, successful career with a nice income to match Sheila was extremely happy with every area of her life, except one, DATING! She never was able to find that special someone to share her life. While getting dates weren’t a problem. All those relationships fell short of the perfect union that she was seeking. After some time of reflection, Sheila realized that the men she dated lacked one or more of the main 3 characteristics that she desired in a mate; emotional availability, spiritual foundation and solid moral values. She also realized that she had stayed too long because she was not asking the right questions early in the relationship. It was then that she realized that she needed to develop a series of questions that would provide greater insight into the character of the next man she dated
Those questions led her to a whole new career of entrepreneur and the development of the board game Authenticity . “Authenticity was created to provide couples that are dating, engaged or newly married the opportunity to learn more about their mate in a fun, interactive yet informative format. To achieve the full benefits of the game you and your mate must be completely Authentic. To be authentic is to truly be yourself, be proud of your past and your future. The focus is not winning or losing but learning and connecting with your mate so that you can determine if there is a love connection or if counseling is in your near future. You can lose this game if you and/or your mate are not authentic in answering the questions. I hope that you find this game helpful in finding that person with which you truly connect.”

Some of Authenticity’s topics range from Sex and Romance, Finance, Life, Family, Religion and Situation (example question: You mate is an awful dancer but insist on dancing at every social event. Do you dance and deal with the embarrassment, refuse to dance, tell your mate he/she can’t dance or stop attending social events?) . To order you can visit the web site www.playauthenticity.com.
Response to Authenticity has been positive. A recent promotional event at Crimson drew a large number of participants sampling the game’s questions.
This Thursday from 6-9PM , play the Authenticity Dating Game at Red Kiva 1108 West Randolph.
