Jennifer Anistons relationship with hypnotherapist and life coach Jim Curtis has gotten serious in the more than a year and a half since they started dating, but a matchmaker worries the “Friends” star could be making classic mistakes as the higher-profile partner.
“I think one of the biggest mistakes is when a woman tries to kind of manage the guy,” Los Angeles-based matchmaker Gina Hendrix told Fox News Digital. “When a woman steps into this role, and it’s always a great, successful, amazing woman, she thinks, I did it for myself, I can do it for you too, and she tries to build the guy up.”

You value how they think,” she said. “And I think beyond the typical things of attraction and the butterflies in the stomach and the great sex and all these things, you also have to respect this person. And you do have to have a deep friendship because that’s really what’s going to sustain it way after the looks fade and things start to get ugly, no pun intended.”
Hendrix said Lady Gaga and fiancé Michael Polansky are a “great example of two people who are living off-grid, living under the radar. And I
