I Went To A Matchmaking Agency To Cure My Dating App Fatigue

As I swiped through endless profiles of guys who say they're looking for 'someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously', I thought, Surely there's another way? The trouble with app dating is you're so used to putting things in a box. Women say, 'He must be five foot 10'. And actually, does it really matter? Normally, it doesn't if it's the right person. When my professional photos arrived, I replaced most of my dating profile photos with the professional ones.

Short-term relationships, open-ended situationships and friends with benefits are where I thrive. This is home territory, where I feel safest and happiest. I can be noncommittal, picky and polyamorous and focus on myself without having to sacrifice too much and still enjoy all the benefits of a long-term relationship — friendship, romance, great sex and a fun social calendar. But I do often wonder if my comfort zone is confined to the realm of the short-termer because of past relationship trauma. Am I the problem? However, I am an open-minded person and I do retain a sliver of curiosity about whether a long-term situation could work for me with the right person.

After all, how many couples that you know found each other using a professional matchmaker? The biggest compliment we receive at Kelleher International is when happy clients refer our matchmaking services to friends or family members. A recent referral reconnected Kelleher matchmaker Sherry Allen with a happy Kelleher couple still growing strong.

I went to a matchmaker and her advice changed what I look for in a partner

Unlike dating apps, where you create your profile, determine what to write in your bio, and chat to different people, matchmaking seems a bit more tedious, with structured processes in place. Recently, I spoke to Geraleine Yap, a former matchmaker who worked at a local matchmaking agency in Singapore to learn more about the matchmaking process, and some of the reasons why she thinks people are still single. I was a matchmaker for three years, during which in the final two years, I moved on to focus on high networth clients, and to also provide dating advice.
