Dear Shannon and my awesome dating Team,
Today I truly felt such gratitude for all the help you guys have given me over the past four months – your patience, sharing crucial information and always tolerating my outbursts when I am disappointed because I felt I am not getting what I want, not understanding you were offering a chance at WHAT I TRULY NEED is deeply appreciated now that I see the light!!!!
Now I understand!!! As divorced a lady in her late forties, strong and independent and who looks after her health and emotional balance, I believed I knew it all!!! After years on dating apps and friend’s intros to what I believed were great prospects, I ended up suffering from dating burnout, loss of self-esteem and frankly, feeling quite used by dates I had put my all into that turned out to be players and users. That was when I joined your expert dating agency!!
I apologize now for being quite arrogant at the start – I thought a matchmaker is someone who will supply me with a curated selection of the type of men I wanted because I am paying for a service – I turned down nearly every offer to meet prospects and it took a huge mindset-shift to finally LISTEN to your sound advice and explore!!! It dawned on me that your wisdom is truly based on proven facts on how to beat the dating game at its own game!! I had no problem attracting men – my problem was I was attracting the wrong types, or I was ending up in flings because players and con artists seduced me and then ghosted me when they were bored!!!
It is true that dating apps gave the world’s Singles a very false sense of hope – everyone was excited when dating sites were launched – most Singles were like kids in a sweet shop with many choices and chances (sweets are sweets after all!!). The grass is always greener elsewhere, so more, more, more!!! That meant more of the same old heartbreak, trauma and back to being alone!!! Maybe their intentions were good, but the only winners were their pockets!! Trading on the gullible, vulnerable and lonely was a sucker punch!!
My answer to the question is “a matchmaker is a magician!” when we ALLOW the natural flow of attraction after exploring our singles’ landscape, exploring what and who is out there (recognizing red flags!) and finally understanding MYSELF and what I truly NEEDED was the enlightening moment!!! It is not a “delivery service” and it takes self-reflection, self-correction, course-correction and new thinking based on reality!! Thank you for your wise quote:
“Bad choices are made not because of a lack of choices but by a lack of experience” and please add to that clarity, because many of us single and intentional people are imprinted by hype and delusions. Our experiences are minimal and our framework usually week and flimsy on relationships. Knowledge is power to conquer the unknown.
I finally did it all your way and two intros later found myself spinning off the walls and feeling that love had found me – with exactly the kind of guy you promised me, a wonderful honest, very charming man who has amazing qualities and makes me feel like a queen, and so safe!!! It was some kinda MAGIC!!! And yes, he may not look like a porn star, but intimacy is the best I have ever experienced – because it comes from the heart and soul.
Please never give up on us, keep up your great work and share your amazing knowledge and Light with all who care to hear you!!
From a very happy couple,
LE AND MD
