Matchmaking is no longer like how it was during our parents’ time. We debunk the most common misconceptions. 

Myth 1 

Matchmaking is only for the “desperate”

Think matchmaking is only for people who can’t get dates on their own? Not at all. Many eligible (and attractive!) singles just don’t have the time to browse profiles online and make small talk. Think of engaging a matchmaker as making an investment in your love life. 

Myth 2 

The people you meet on matchmade dates are shady 

It turns out they might actually be more trustworthy than someone you meet off the Internet. All accredited dating agencies conduct background checks on their clients, so you can take comfort in the fact that your potential matches are credible... and aren’t married! 

Myth 3

Matchmaking events are boring 

A matchmaking event doesn’t just involve dinner. These days, dating agencies hold wide- ranging events so singles get to interact in a range of different situations. Local dating agency GaiGai’s dating events include brewery tours, baking lessons and painting workshops. 

Myth 4 

The matchmaking process is lonely 

You’re far from alone in your journey to finding the right partner when you engage a dating agency. Your matchmaker is essentially your best girlfriend and more – apart from being a listening ear on how a date went, she’s also the one you turn to when things aren’t going smoothly. Basically, you’ll have your own personal cheerleader.
