I used multiple match makers and wasted a lot of money. Their goal was to hit number of dates in the timespan I committed to. In fact they would make me feel bad if I gave the feedback on the mis-match. They would tell me how I was being too picky.

My real therapist helped me prioritize my happiness and stop worrying about everyone else’s feelings. I met my husband right after that on tinder 🤷🏻‍♀️

I like that. I do think my therapist helped me get myself sorted. It was money well spent even though I haven’t met my person yet and I haven’t wasted time on the wrong people since I have done that work.

That is fantastic!!! I met one in NYC years ago. I am in her database, she called me about a guy last year and I think I knew who it was (kind of a dud). She never followed up anyway. But, I would pay near any damn amount of money to not have to date again. Incidentally, I have done a lot of therapy and I feel very ready for a relationship, my therapist agrees lol

Well, I’ve been working with one for several months now and she’s been great. It’s been 100% relationship coaching and borderline therapy, and not even any matching, which I’m actually grateful for. Turns out I was in no way prepared for a healthy relationship prior to this experience.

So, why am I asking? Because I’m curious if anyone has had a similar, or vastly different experience using one. And as I see it, the three options for meeting someone are:
1. Dating Apps (which most of us detest at this point)
2. Organic (we all want this, but it seems to elude a great deal of us)
3. Match Maker (a different option, which I assume would be a reason lots of folks might want one)

The question is why? Would there be a reason you’d want one?

I can appreciate that. Was curious. I know someone who did this before and they didn’t get much out of it and the promises were huge but the results were not. I have not done it though.

I've never even knew it was an option. Is it something you find useful aside from the coaching? And what kind of things did she cover during the coaching sessions, anyways?

It’s been super useful, because we’re going real deep into my relationship behaviors, and also the false stories I tell myself. Things that have accumulated over time that no longer serve me, but I’m unconscious to their existence and impact.

I would like to try match maker. Any resources or recommendations?.

Ahh this whole thread is an ad….

It’s not, and that wasn’t the point. People asked so I shared.

Ohhh. This gives me hope. I haven't tried it yet. Do they still accept clients?

Anyone else in a relationship that’s divided politically? I try to avoid the topic since I don’t think politics necessarily defines who we are, but he constantly brings it up and it almost feels intentional at times to get a reaction.

Female here. Had a very successful first date recently - several hours long, interesting conversation, great chemistry. I felt a special connection and thought it was mutual. It’s been a long while since I’ve been excited about anyone and thanks to corona, it’s been a while since I’ve been in male company period, so I really want to accelerate things (see each other again soon) and not play it slow. He declined my offer to meet up today and didn’t seize the opportunity to make alternate plans.
