Kyle's very first in-studio date! Melanie Bartlett. Friends say Melanie is a ray of sunshine who’s not afraid to go after what she wants. She’s an avid traveler, an occasional witch, and admittedly loved by all dogs. She relishes quiet mornings with a coffee and a good book, and she’s never met a croissant she didn’t like. A native Texan living the good life on the west coast, Melanie loves volleyball, rock climbing, and sci-fi flicks.

Before diving into the in-studio dates next week, Jessica thought it was only appropriate she and Kyle talk to an actual expert; LA Matchmaker, Dating Coach, and Managing Partner of Maclyn (an exclusive, psychology-based matchmaking agency), Sarah! Not only do the three of them dissect Kyle's dreaded "Future Wife" Google Doc, but Sarah also gives her thoughts on what she thinks about Jess and Kyle's relationship, her view on the dating apps, managing Kyle's matchmaking expectations, tips and tricks for dating in today's world, and so much more.

You can find and reach Sarah directly her Instagram page: @xo_sarahjo
