Has anyone tried a matchmaking service? I’m considering starting this as a side gig focused on 35-55 as I think this is a forgotten age group. Most dating events I see are only up to 29 or sometimes 35, or they do senior events, but nothing for us in the middle

I suggest you try it out. It works faster for some and it takes time for some. But it’s definitely worth trying and much easier to find a nice partner.

I think you should take what works and what doesn’t about online. For example there’s one where you meet in person like a speed date but you use an app to swipe if you want to talk or not while there. Then meet at the table. Something like that could work for this age group.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Signed up for a matchmaking service a couple months ago after getting tired of the apps. And while I’ve been underwhelmed with their process so far, I finally have my first match date this weekend. Haven’t been on a date since pre-pandemic. And never been on a true blind date like this. Wish me luck.
