Often I hear the question from people considering using a matchmaker, “what is the difference between using a matchmaker or getting on online dating platforms?” The quick answer is you work with a human, not with an algorithm, but more than that, we’ve captured a few other key reasons.
Here are ten reasons for using a matchmaker:
1. When you are serious about finding love and making an investment for yourself to work with a matchmaker, you ultimately save time, money, and aggravation.
2. Matchmakers offer a pre-screening process to help make sure you meet singles with the same core values.
3. Matchmakers listen to your wants and needs and help you develop realistic standards and criteria to meet your relationship goal.
4. A good matchmaker is honest and tactful with their clients when critiquing their appearance.
5. Some matchmakers like AVConnexions conduct a background check for all your potential dates.
6. Lack of dating experience for newly divorced men and women can be daunting, especially when you have kids at home. A matchmaker can offer guidance and access to many singles.
7. Avoid dating burnout. Using a matchmaker is the easiest, most time-efficient way to meet people who are your potential match without having dating burnout.
8. You have a history of making bad dating choices and need an objective professional to guide you.
9. A matchmaker eliminates the “why didn’t he call me again” after a first date syndrome because we require client and candidate feedback after every introduction.
10. Stop paying the “singles tax.” Carrying the entire burden of a mortgage, holidays, and bills all adds up, and ~43% of people who live alone don’t go on vacation.
