Single? 4 Questions To Ask Before Hiring A Matchmaker

Join matchmaker Julie Ferman on our Facebook page Thursday, September 20 at 2 p.m. EST to ask all of your questions about finding love!

Should I hire a matchmaker? This is the number one question asked of me on a daily basis and it's always fun for me to address.

Personal matchmaking is a great solution for some single men and women ... but not for others. How can you know if you're a good candidate? Ask yourself these four questions:

1. Am I sincerely seeking a loving relationship? If yes, then ask yourself the next question...

2. Am I meeting the right kind of people? If you are meeting the "right people" online or by working your own magnetic magic out there in the world, then don't change anything!

If, however, your current dating strategies are not delivering for you — and especially if your dating calendar is looking rather sparse — then it's a fine idea to investigate proactive dating solutions. Hiring a matchmaker to short-cut the process of filling that dating calendar with appropriate candidates might just be the ideal solution for you.

3. Is there a well-established, well-respected personal matchmaking agency in my area? Take a look or email us and we'll help you determine if there is a good agency for you to consider.
