How To Find and Hire the Best NYC Matchmaker

Have you tried your luck with dating apps? After years of unsuccessful dates, are you ready to
delete them from your phone? Maybe you are simply thinking about kindling a romance after a
divorce, break-up, streak of horrible encounters, or a long, needed time off from dating.
Whatever your situation, finding a great NYC matchmaker can be a turning point in your love
life.

According to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, NYC matchmaking services are
becoming increasingly popular. The trend to seek expert assistance particularly makes sense for
busy New York professionals who are serious about happy, healthy, and meaningful long-term
relationships.

What do professional NYC matchmakers do?

Professional matchmakers have an extensive network of available singles who have signed up
for a matchmaking service to be introduced to potentially compatible partners. NYC
matchmaking has been around for quite some time. These are some of main features of the
vetted high-end matchmaking process:

1. The best matchmakers only work with select clientele and get to know the most relevant
   things about them. The “get to know” interview process can be extensive, as the matchmaker
   analyzes your personality type and what you are looking for. Your matchmaker will uncover
   your likes and dislikes, explore your lifestyle needs, examine your career goals, and learn your
   preferences in an ideal partner.
2. Once a professional matchmaker has enough information about you, they use their vast
   database and network connections to source the best matches for you. NYC matchmakers
   constantly add new singles to their rolodexes.
3. Matchmakers meet and screen every dating candidate face-to-face – the same way they
   conduct your “get to know” interview. When they interview different potential mates, they ask
   the same questions that you’d ask on a first date and weed out people who have incompatible
   values.
4. After the strenuous and diligent background check, the matchmakers present you with
   potential prospects. You might be sent on a completely blind date, or be provided with contact
   details, a video, or other information prior to your first meet up.
5. After a first date, the matchmaker requests feedback. Your honest responses are managed
   with discretion and sensitivity. Sometimes, the first person you go on a date with checks all
   your boxes. Other times, you may want to go on a couple of different dates and see who you
   click with the best.

In addition to the services mentioned above, many matchmakers offer other services, like
dating advice, relationship coaching, fashion advice, etiquette classes, and so much more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How much does it cost to hire a great matchmaker in New York?
A. Matchmaking is a lengthy and intricate process that requires lots of work. The value and
services you’ll receive with a great matchmaker are reflected in the cost of the service.
Typically, NYC matchmaking services are expensive. But they are well worth the cost,
which depends on many factors, including the choice of services you sign up for.

Q. Where can I find a NYC matchmaker who’s right for me?
A. There are two basic routes you can take to find a matchmaker to solve your dating dilemma.

1. Word-of-mouth
   Ask friends and relatives who might know about the NYC matchmakers near you.
   Matchmakers are big on marketing and word-of-mouth, as that’s how they increase
   their database of potential matches for you.
2. Online search
   If you want to keep your search for potential mates private, then online searching is
   your best bet. All you need to do is type “professional matchmaker near me” in your
   internet browser, and a list of local NYC matchmaking services will appear for you to
   choose from. Make sure you look down the page and do not just pick from paid ads.

Q. How do I make sure I hire the best matchmaker for me?
A. Regardless of the search option you choose, vetting a matchmaker before booking an
appointment is crucial. You will invest both money and trust in your matchmaker. You’ll want to
know they are reputable, understand your requirements, and are worthy of your investment.

Here are five criteria to check a professional matchmaker’s credibility:

1. They show you up-to-date profiles of people they feel are matches for you.
   They have at least two to three clients who meet your criteria. A common complaint
   about online dating sites and apps are photos that are wildly out-of-date or even
   photoshopped. A good matchmaker does a background check, checks the person’s ID,
   and makes sure everyone they present you with has recent photos that look like them
   now.
2. Evaluate the sales tactics.
   Matchmakers who employ high-pressure sales tactics to bring people in usually have a
   “meet the quota” mindset. If their promises are too good to be true, they probably are.
3. Are they 100% focused on you and who you want to meet?
   If a matchmaker is more interested in your credit score than what sort of person makes
   your heart thump, it’s a red flag.
4. Ask about pricing and packages.
   A wide majority of professional NYC matchmaking businesses refrain from advertising
   prices online. But they should answer you candidly when you ask for numbers upfront. If
   you can’t get a direct answer during your consultation about how much you can
   realistically expect to pay, that’s also typically a red flag.
5. Shop around.
   There are many great matchmaking services in the market today. When searching and
   contacting different services, you can compare prices and packages and select the one
   whose offer best suits you.
