Why a matchmaker
People seek Professional Matchmakers for many different reasons as it’s an alternative to those who might not want to use an online service or not have the opportunity to meet people in bars or social settings.
I have been asked in the past if it makes someone desperate to “pay” for matchmaking services. My simple response is people pay for college to secure their future. They pay tradesmen to do what they do not have the skill to do. They pay agencies to help them plan vacations to ensure the best experience. They do all of these things and more because they don’t have the time, the know-how, they want security, or they simply don’t want the hassle of doing it themselves. They do all of these things but they question seeking help in the most important area of their life. The person that they will be connected with for the rest of their life. The person that they will start a family with. The person that they will introduce to their family and friends. The person that will be their best friend!
Here are some of the common reasons people utilize Professional Matchmakers.
1) Safety
I think this is one of the biggest reasons especially in the world we live in today with all of the online scams and some people not being completely upfront about who they are or their true intentions. *We meet everyone face to face! We verify identification and do a criminal background check!
2) Confidential
There are a lot of professionals, high profile, easily found people who do not feel comfortable putting their personal information out online. Some people don’t want others to know that they are dating or searching for the right one.*Our programs are strictly confidential. The only people that know that you are using a service are our staff and obviously the person you are matched with. Our database is completely private!
3) Coaching
A lot of people are reentering the dating world and they do not feel secure in what they are doing. A lot has changed over the years and it can be scary to start over.*We offer coaching throughout the program to help you navigate through the process. We use the feedback to fine-tune your program as we go and also use the feedback provided about you to help you make any adjustments that may be needed. We look for patterns that you may be doing that you are unaware of!
4) Doesn’t get out
If you have busy schedules with work, family, and other obligations you simply don’t have time to get out and socialize in order to have the opportunity to meet someone. Even if you go out with your friends it can be intimidating for a person that is interested to approach you when you are with a group of people. *Using a Matchmaking service gives you the opportunity to continue with your busy life while we do the work for you. We are a time saver!
5) Accountability
When using online, there is no accountability for how someone acts. *We hold everyone to a standard and make sure that they are someone that will represent our company to the highest standards.
6) Dating on your own
It can be difficult dating on your own. Not having someone that knows you both and helps you navigate through the early days, weeks, and months of getting to know someone. *A Professional Matchmaker has met both of you in person and has taken the time to get to know you. We represent both of our clients and work on both of their behalfs to help them have the best dating experience. We use our resources to market and recruit for you. In a sense, we are your wingmen!
7) Not serious
Nothing is worse than meeting someone in person or online, catching feelings, and realizing they are not that serious about forming an actual relationship. Online you may come across people that are just testing the water, seeing what is out there, or simply looking to hook up.*When we screen and qualify our potential clients we make sure that they are serious and that they are coming to us for the right reasons. We want to make sure that they are ready for something more serious and not just fishing. We want to make sure that they are in the position to see the “right” person once we put them in front of them. We have your first date for you to make sure that their intentions are pure. Game players do not invest in going to a Matchmaker!
8) Open your mind up
A lot of times dating on your own you have a checklist and sometimes that checklist can eliminate the perfect person for you.*We take the time to go through what is important and look for the areas that we can help you open up to give you the biggest pool of people. 80% of the time, the matches that have success are something right outside of the box of where you have been looking. This is not settling and we don’t ask you to do that but we ask what is really important when it comes to a long-term, happy relationship. It’s not a year or two in age or an inch taller or shorter. It’s who treats you right, it’s who you can share some common interests and goals with, it’s who will end up making you smile, it’s who will be your best friend!
