5 methods to ensure matchmaker happiness

Anyone who has ever navigated the dating field knows that the quest for love is never an easy one – matchmaker services have done a huge deal to change this however, making it possible for even the busiest professionals to find lasting love with a partner who is perfectly matched. What makes dating services different from other ways of finding love is that they allow you to choose the type of person you wish to date, rather than having to spend ages meeting people who do not share your interest, values or goals. In this way, matchmaker services have helped thousands of people find love, despite what the naysayers may assume about the success rate of this dating method. Dating experts have actually found that people who meet through a dating service are more likely to stay together, as they have more in common and are more committed to finding love. This means that you have a great chance of finding someone special, if you know how to put your best foot forward, so to speak.

To help you begin your quest for romance, here are a few tried-and-tested tips for making the most of your matchmaker service.

  • Create a winning profile – you may think that creating a profile is a walk in the park, but this is quite possibly one of the most important aspects of ensuring your dating success. Think of it as a sales page. You are presenting your qualities in a way that will attract interested parties, which means that you need to get the right message across. Be honest, but keep it simple – no one needs to know about your failed relationship and distrust of the opposite sex, not before they meet you anyway. Be playful and inject some humour into your profile without trying to sound too forced. Write it as if you were saying it out loud, and be sure to spell check before you publish.

 

  • Use a natural, flattering photograph – this doesn't mean that picture of you at a party last weekend, in a low-cut top with a drink in each hand. Forced, overtly sexy pictures are not ideal either. Ultimately, you want to present yourself in a natural way, without attracting people who are simply after a good time. Do not ever use old pictures, and don't even consider using a celebrity picture either. If you plan to meet singles, then sooner or later they will see you in real life – presenting a fake image will only lead to disappointment. Have a friend take a picture of you when you are laughing and happy, and don't be shy to smile!

 

  • Be polite and friendly – if you receive messages from people who do not fit your matches, don't be rude. The best way to make friends and help people realise that you are a good person is to be friendly and polite, to everyone you talk to. Trying to be aloof, or trying to play hard to get before you have set up a date with a prospective interest will not win you any admirers, but a friendly, warm personality is sure to make you a matchmaker hit.

 

  • Get to know people before seeing them – if you have struck up a conversation with a potential matchmaker interest, spend some time to get to know them before arranging your first date. Emails, IMs, texts and phone calls will help you see if your interests are similar enough to continue the budding relationship, and will also help to establish a rapport with your love interest.

 

  • Be yourself – it may sound corny, but being yourself is the best way to ensure success in any dating situation. Don't try to be assertive if you are more of a shy person, and if you don't know any jokes, then don't worry – trying too hard is one of the biggest turn-offs, which is why simply being yourself while still being friendly, interested and polite is the ultimate matchmaker weapon for success.
