The Match to a Match is Different

Is there a difference with whom and how you have a match?

You are an adult. You have already done a lot and achieved a lot. You have strived for success and prosperity, built a career, broadened your horizons, and experienced life from different sides. Perhaps you were in a relationship, romantic, civil, or official. But today, you have again entered the love market to meet a partner for life and create a family. Is there a difference in who and how you have a match?

A match has many similar analogs. There are accidents – when you find yourself in a new situation or space and meet a confident and relaxed girl there. This environment may be natural for her, and then you are her case. Or that she also accidentally got into this situation, and then the chance is for you to meet with her. Please look closer and learn more about what events led her to come here and meet you. However, the main thing in such accidents is understanding how you relate to this situation and what plans to do next, albeit soon.

The following analog of a match is a coincidence. You grew up in the same social environment. Perhaps your families are friends, or you have mutual acquaintances or friends who create a communication background. You have a common background – you attended the same school or university. And the critical thing is that you have the same status in your personal life. At some point, someone in your circle expresses that you could be a couple. If this is your first time considering this idea, look closer. Not at the idea itself (that you need a couple), but at the girl. And if you are interested in her, try to go beyond the boundaries of your everyday context together – meet her on far neutral territory, change the topic of conversation from discussions of mutual acquaintances to personal ones, do something new that neither you nor she has ever done before.

Technical similarity occurs when you register on dating sites or applications, fill out a questionnaire, and an algorithm or artificial intelligence brings you a person who has a similar questionnaire + corresponds with your specified filters. Many couples met this way in the digital age, and it became a modern version of fairy tales about love. But in reality, for the acquaintance to end successfully, many must go on dozens of dates, correspond with strangers, and take risks. Here, we can only recommend being patient and getting emotional support from an unbiased, friendly face. And also, remember that going on dates is a process and an invaluable experience, but finally – not a result.

A match as a result of matchmaking is like 3 in 1. You register with an agency – which in itself is new for you. For the couple to match, the girl must also register with the agency, which will be a new experience. The matchmaker is both a mutual acquaintance and a confidant for you. Considering the similarity of your profiles, you are recommended based on a personal acquaintance with each of you. The impression of you as a living person, with your emotions, feelings, dreams, and desires – plays a decisive role here. The matchmaker performs his role professionally and does not lean towards anyone’s side; instead, he helps both parties remain winners from the acquaintance.

Be responsible when choosing an agency and matchmaker. Pay attention to certifications and professional ethics. Be honest when meeting and clearly formulate your request. Treat it as a new experience – with surprise and interest. Let the match happen.
