Using a matchmaker - is it desperate?

Executive dating in South Africa:

In today's fast-paced life, we engage experts to help us be the best we can in all areas. We hire accountants to complete our tax forms, real estate agents to find a home, and personal trainers to keep our bodies in shape. Yet we tend to feel reluctant about seeking professional help when it comes to life's most complicated and pleasurable aspect our love life. The mainstream success of online dating has opened the door to using a third party to find love and skyrocketed the popularity of modern-day, one-on-one, personalized matchmaking services.

Now, more than ever before, is it acceptable to use a matchmaker.

Although there are several different matchmaking agencies operating in South Africa they are all unique. As with any other type of Industry every Agency's modus operandi differs and therefore it is important that you choose the company you feel most comfortable with.

1. Choose an agency offering flexibility in their packages. An agency allowing you to do a "test-run" of their services at a reduced price will most probably make a greater effort in satisfying your requirements than an agency ridged in their pricing. Like with any other business negotiate the price.
2. Be sure of what they offer. Some agencies offer membership until you find a match and claim to match you until they find your perfect match. The consequence of this is you might get 1 introduction every 6 months to a year. Check with them how far the introductions will be spaced out.
3. They might send you on endless mismatches before you find one remotely matching your criteria. Rather choose a dating agency offering limited introductions but exclusively to people who match your exact criteria.
4. Like your match-maker. If you feel comfortable with them you would also feel more comfortable with discussing requirements and problems with them.
5. Some agencies give you a list of numbers to arrange dates with. This is unsafe practice for everyone. Rather choose an agency who does not divulge any personal information and arranges the dates at Public Places

Do not hesitate to discuss concerns with your matchmaker when choosing an agency and also allow them to explain their process in deciding the matches they introduce you to.
