Considering the proliferation of dating apps and casual hookups, matchmakers may seem like relics of another time. The matchmaking profession is still going strong even though people have been bringing each other together since long before we were swiping right.
Modern matchmakers combine scientific developments, technological advancements, and age-old wisdom. In the end, the client saves both time and stress by getting high success rates and winning matches. What are matchmakers exactly supposed to do, and how can they help you?
Here are 5 ways matchmaking helps you in finding a relationship.
1. Signing Up
Image this stage as an initial interview when applying for a job. First off, you’ll get to fill out a questionnaire to help matchmakers screen candidates. Questions will vary, especially for modern matchmakers who may not have strict restrictions on things like job title or gender.
This will help the matchmaker further understand what you are looking for in a partner.
2. Interview
We’ll offer you a 1:1 interview(s) if we find you a good fit. It’s during this interview that deeper discussions occur. It’s during this interview that we learn about your life. A personal matter may involve past relationships, deal-breakers, relationship goals, and many other issues.
We do more than just listen to the answers prospects provide; we also observe them. Look at how they speak, their body language, and their mannerisms. There are a lot of intangible aspects to someone that only a computer algorithm can determine, and that you can’t articulate.
3. References and Home Tours
References, especially from family members or household members, may be required. We can either schedule a home tour or schedule a call with members in your home. This will enable us to get a sense of the environment where we live and be able to communicate with our loved ones. A home is where you feel most comfortable. It usually reflects on who you are as a person and what matters most to you.
4. Getting Matches
As soon as interest is shown in a match, we’ll proceed. Besides photos and details about what they are looking for, we’ll also share common interests and reasons why they think you’d be a good match.
The talking points sheet that we provide when we present matches is a preview of what you should ask the match on the date. It only contains your first name and industry. In any case, it is enough to make sure you don’t already know each other, but it is not enough for you to look each other up.
5. Networking
As matchmakers, we love people. Our passion for meeting people, listening to them, and talking to them is what drives us to pair them together. In addition to speaking with people we encounter every day, we can also turn to our friends and family for assistance.
Meeting new people through social events is also beneficial. There are a lot of single events in San Francisco that will surely get the conversations going.
