Finding a Matchmaker - A Step by Step Guide (Custom Image)

Step 1 – Determine what’s most important to you. 

As the cliche says, you can’t hit a target if you don’t know what it is. In other words, you’ll have no luck finding the right matchmaker near you if you don’t set clear expectations of what your wants and needs are (and can tell the difference between the two).

Below, we’ve compiled a list of things that may or may not be important to you. For each item, determine if it matters to you or not. If it doesn’t, that’s okay! If it does, determine if it’s something that you have to have (a need), or if it’s something that would be nice to have (a want).

  • Track record – Do they have a history of delivering a positive experience for clients?
  • Experience – Have they been around long enough to prove their expertise?
  • Reach of matching pool – Do they have a big enough network of singles and the resources to find what you’re looking for?
  • Age range and demographics – Do they work with your specific age and demographic of singles? 
  • Screening process – Do they properly vet your matches?
  • How it works – Do they have a matchmaking process that fits your style? 
  • Amenities – Do they offer additional amenities like coaching, style help, date night planning, etc. to help you succeed beyond just finding matches for you? 
  • Value – Does the price match the value you’re getting?
  • Number of clients – Do they have the bandwidth to give you the highest level of service or do they take on too many clients?
  • Goals alignment – Does the matchmaker focus on the type of relationship you’re looking for?
  • City knowledge – For national matchmakers, do they have knowledge of your particular city or area?

Step 2 – Compile a list of the matchmaking services you may be interested in.

Now that you’re clear on what is most important to you, it’s time to put together a short list of the matchmakers near you that meet (or exceed) your criteria.

Third, you can always search the web for options. While this will give you more options to choose from, it’s hard to guarantee that you’ll be getting a quality option.

Step 3 – Schedule a free consultation (and ask the right questions).

The next step is to schedule a call with the matchmaker you think is the best fit for you. Most quality matchmaking services offer a free consultation where you can ask all the questions you want. Additionally, this is the time where a reputable company will ensure they’re the right fit for you as well (so you aren’t spending money on something that isn’t truly worth it for you). If they charge for this, that’s a red flag. This is something that Three Day Rule always does.

We’d love to get to know you and see if we’d be a great fit to work together. And if it ends up not being a great fit, we’ll refer you to a company that we think would be a better fit!

And whether you’re calling Three Day Rule or another matchmaker, it’s imperative that you ask the right questions. What are the right questions? The answer is anything you need to know to be confident in the service. It doesn’t matter if you think the question is silly; if it’s on your mind, get it answered. 

For inspiration, here are a few example questions you could ask when talking to a matchmaker in your area.

  • What types of clients do you normally work with? Am I a good fit for this group?
  • Does your company treat dealbreakers as suggestions or non-negotiables?
  • What’s your process if you find it may take longer to find a great match for me?
  • What happens if my matchmaker and I don’t click well? Can I change who I work with?
  • What happens if I hit it off with one of my matches? Do you allow me to pause my membership?
  • Are there any higher-level VIP services or extra add-ons I should know about?

Step 4 – Be proud of yourself for being proactive!

Once you’re comfortable with your choice, it’s time to get excited and be proud of yourself for taking the next step! If you’ve made the decision to work with us here at Three Day Rule, our team couldn’t be more excited to serve you and to walk through this process together.
