Online dat­ing can be a daunt­ing expe­ri­ence, espe­cially when you are being intro­duced to dat­ing after a long hia­tus. You sift through tons of pro­files, and respond to the ones you like. You finally decide to meet one of the poten­tials and decide on a meet­ing spot. After one (or pos­si­bly two dates), you never hear from that per­son again. This con­tin­ues until you are ready to give up and crawl into a dark hole. You don’t know what else to do. You are a highly suc­cess­ful sin­gle who has a busy life and hasn’t found much suc­cess in leav­ing it up to des­tiny. Addi­tion­ally, you are selec­tive in who you date and want to find some­one who com­ple­ments you. What other alter­na­tive is there? Match­mak­ing ser­vices are a great way to find high-quality sin­gles in your area. Match­mak­ers pro­vide a per­son­al­ized ser­vice that will elim­i­nate that headache and time caused by online dating.

Prob­lem #1: Fake profiles

You come across the per­fect pro­file. She is beau­ti­ful, intel­li­gent, and has a great per­son­al­ity. You mes­sage her and hopes she responds back. Two things either occur: 1. She turns out to be a porn or strip­per ser­vice try­ing to lure you into using them or 2. You meet her in per­son, and she is a com­plete oppo­site of what you saw online.

Solu­tion: Match­mak­ers meet each individual

By using a match­mak­ing ser­vice, you elim­i­nate these issues because the match­mak­ing team meets each and every indi­vid­ual who wants to use them. They screen and run back­ground checks on every­one to make sure that they are legit. It’s great because you don’t waste time with spam­mers and peo­ple mis­rep­re­sent­ing them­selves, which is a huge relief.

Prob­lem #2: No help in find­ing the right match

If you are being intro­duced to dat­ing, you are pretty much clue­less as to how to go about it. Wouldn’t it be great to have some­one assist­ing you through the entire process? Some online dat­ing ser­vices claim they offer help in find­ing the right match, but they are usu­ally generic advice that is offered to every­one. Not every­one is going to date the same, so it really doesn’t do much in the end.

Solu­tion: Match­mak­ers are your guides

Match­mak­ers are with you every step of the way. They offer you advice on things you are doing well and need some adjust­ing. Their advice is tai­lored to your needs, so you are not get­ting the advice some­one else received. Addi­tion­ally, they fol­low up with you after the date. You never feel like you are going through this dat­ing process alone because there is always some­one they’re check­ing up on you. You are never alone to decide because there is always some­one there to assist you.

Prob­lem #3: Iden­tity theft is an issue

Iden­tity theft is an increas­ing issue in this coun­try. Online dat­ing ser­vices are not able to fully pro­tect you from this crime because there is no back­ground checks run on the peo­ple using them. There­fore, there is no ver­i­fi­ca­tion of iden­ti­fi­ca­tion, so you never know who these peo­ple really are. Addi­tion­ally, there are no fed­eral reg­u­la­tions on how online dat­ing ser­vices should be used and who is using them.

Solu­tion: Match­mak­ers make sure they know the peo­ple they are work­ing with

As stated pre­vi­ously, match­mak­ers run thor­ough check on every­one who uses their ser­vice. They want to ensure that they have the best peo­ple in their com­mu­nity. We’ve all heard hor­ror sto­ries about rape that has occurred dur­ing online dat­ing. By using a match­maker, you min­i­mize this tragedy from hap­pen­ing because the match­maker knows whom they are deal­ing with on a per­sonal level.

Prob­lem #4: The frus­tra­tion of deal­ing with profiles

Pro­files can be a frus­trat­ing expe­ri­ence. One thing is that the more appeal­ing peo­ple get flooded with emails, which frus­trates them, and they quit. This causes many pro­files to appear as active, when they really aren’t. There­fore, you never know if the per­son you write is ignor­ing you, or just stopped using the service.

Solu­tion: Every­one you meet is real

Peo­ple who use match­mak­ing ser­vices pay a good amount to be part of the com­mu­nity. Addi­tion­ally, the match­mak­ing team speaks to each and every per­son, so you never have to waste your time check­ing out a pro­file, only to find out that there is no one behind it.

Prob­lem #5: Won­der­ing if per­son wants a seri­ous relationship

With online dat­ing, you never know if the per­son wants a seri­ous rela­tion­ship unless they write in their pro­file. There is also the risk that the per­son is really mar­ried and is try­ing to com­mit adultery.

Solu­tion: Peo­ple using match­mak­ing ser­vices are usu­ally look­ing for a long-term relationship

If you went to a match­maker, then that means you are seri­ous. No one who doesn’t want a seri­ous rela­tion­ship would waste their time using a match­maker, espe­cially with all the other dat­ing ser­vice alter­na­tives out there. You always have a sense of hope using match­mak­ers because many of the headaches caused by online dat­ing go away.
