6 Reasons to Work with a Matchmaker
1. Online dating is costly
Many people argue that they don’t want to invest in a Matchmaker because of the cost. Have you ever thought about the cost of online dating though?
Multiply your hourly rate (e.g. 65 CHF/hour) x the hours you invest online (0.5 hrs/day x 25 days/month=12.5 hours) plus the cost of going on bad dates with no potential (3 dates / month = 225 CHF). Total average monthly cost of online dating - over 1’000 CHF/month.
Of course I understand you aren’t paying the 1’000 CHF from your pocket but as the saying goes, your time is worth money.
2. Efficient use of time
How many nights have you stayed up all night swiping or chatting with someone you connected with online? How many times did the positive first connection not translate into chemistry in real life? Or the person you thought you were dating suddenly disappears and you are left back at ground zero swiping again with nothing to show for it?
Online dating is an emotional rollercoaster because so often you think you have met someone interesting, you get your hopes up, only to be disappointed later.
Working with a matchmaker will eliminate the ups and downs you experience of investing time in connecting and getting to know someone, but never actually meeting. You will invest your time going on dates, instead of searching for dates.
3. Discrete
While some people may love to share all their personal information on the internet, chances are you are not a celebrity. You don’t want people you work with knowing that you have uploaded your profile to a dating app.
What if you are in a leadership position and suddenly find yourself matched with one of your employees? How uncomfortable would that make you feel the next time you run into each other in the hallway?
Matchmaking is personalised, private and discreet, meaning you don’t need to create a public profile for the world to see. You are in full control of your personal data and you decide when to disclose it to your dates.
If you are in a position of power, or in the public eye, and don’t want potential dates doing their own background search on you before you have the chance to meet, Matchmaking is a great way to keep this information private.
It is also a great alternative for those who are concerned about safety and online dating scams.
4. Only go on dates with strong matches and avoid deal breakers
It’s one of the major complaints about online dating. You end up meeting and spending time with a person who you never would have met if you had known about a deal breaker in advance.
Maybe they smoke and you only want to date non-smokers. Maybe they also have 4 children, which they failed to mention in their online profile, and you don’t see yourself as a parent to 8 children.
The reason Matchmakers spend so much time getting to know their clients is to uncover all the important values the client is looking for, as well as the deal breakers so they don’t set you up with someone who won’t be a match long term.
5. Access to a pool of high quality matches who are not dating online
So many of the members within a Matchmaker’s database are not dating online. They are professional, successful and private individuals who also value their time. They don’t want to have an online dating profile and so you would simply not have the opportunity to meet them apart from running into them somewhere or working through a Matchmaker.
Working with a Matchmaker who is local to your area will give you access to a pool of singles you simply won’t meet elsewhere.
6. There is value in working with professionals
Professionals know the value of working with experts in the field. When you want to ensure the best return on your investments, you seek out the advice of a financial advisor. When you want to get your body in top shape, you work with a fitness trainer.
Working with a Matchmaker is having an expert in dating and relationships by your side. Someone to support you through the process, saving you time, money and frustration.
A good Matchmaker will have the same goal as you, namely, helping you find a healthy, loving and committed relationship so you can share your life with THE ONE.
