Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart”~~RUSH, Circa 1977
Happy 4th of July to all of our clients, couples, and friends. We are not surprised that our phones continue to ring off the hook in the heat of summer. Confidential applications pour in with the same zeal as September and October (in preparation for holiday coupling). The human condition and mood is quite sensitive lately, whether you are aware of it or not. Society yearns for extra light and happiness which we are here to serve to all who cross our path in or out of our office.
To add to the drive for better vibes and higher vibrations, online dating is taking an even deeper nose dive with each passing month in 2024. The statistics are noteworthy. Quality singles looking for a true connection are no longer interested in being matched by an algorithm on a risky dating site. That would be like buying your wedding dress at a flea market or finding your financial advisor on the dark web. You can’t trust what you read online and we all know this by now. Fortunately for you and us, summer love in real life (IRL) is alive and thriving–thanks to our hard work and huge following.
Read on to validate your own movement today. We look for certain traits in our clients. After three decades of experience filtering and screening our applicants, we have gotten MUCH PICKIER as to who we will represent. Thank us later. If the following points resonate with you, you know what to do next. As always, if you are TAKEN, do share this fun news with your single family and friends! We thank you for your love and loyalty to us.
CURRENT CLIMATE:
1. Upscale Singles are Ready for an Upgrade. Outside of our community, the social scene for dating in 2024 has morphed into a low-grade rodeo filled with Buckle Bunnies and Clowns. This has caused people to simply stay home and remain single. In fact, more people are single than ever before and many are losing hope. Times have changed (way too much). We are far away from traditions and dating norms, and it needs to STOP. Women and men need a return to chivalry. Nostalgia is the order of the day in this dating arena.
2. The Script Needs a Flip. At the center of the dating damage is the dehumanizing effects of online dating and too much technology. People are being punked, ghosted, and disillusioned by far too many “options”–creating casual, creepy, and unfulfilling interactions. Today’s dating culture no longer encourages singles to focus their energy on one person at a time. This results in superficial dating and thinking the “next” will be better.
3. Transactional Dating Must Cease. Outside of our office, dating has become transactional and short-lived, with immediate gratification as the goal versus true love. Sending meaningless texts and gazing at photos to create false conclusions and opinions about total strangers is on the rise. The vicious cycle will continue for you and/or your single friends if the cycle is not broken. The longer a single person remains online dating (or alone), the more jaded they will become. If they wait too long and then come into our office, the first few weeks are spent debriefing them on all the bad habits they picked up with their online expeditions. It is a shallow and inefficient way of finding true love. It makes us sad, but we are thrilled to be the solution to the wreckage forged by digital dating.
4. Tradition is Essential. In our office, old-school dating methods have re-emerged in a refreshing manner. People are getting to know each other better before making harsh, false judgments or jumping into the wrong relationship too quickly (love bombing). A first date through us is not an interview. We do the interviewing for all of you. Our client’s job is to go on a date to have fun. That’s it. Simple. Make dating fun again—with our help!
5. The Non-Negotiables. You do have to make a change and give yourself permission to be vulnerable. There is no way around it–unless you want to be alone for life. There are no dating hacks (other than hiring a “real” matchmaker). There is no insurance policy on love per se. You can, however, date smart while positioning yourself to meet authentic people via private introductions from connected matchmakers. Meeting new people through mutual contacts is the way to go–and this is how our clients feel. Just like meeting their new date through a friend. Friendships form quickly here and it starts with one fifteen minute phone call. Essentially, working with a matchmaker is how to stay emotionally, fiscally, and physically secure.
6. The Takeaway. If you or someone you know has fallen victim to the surface-level digital dating dilemma, we cannot fault you. This is where many dating problems begin and end. We advise you to get real—live and date in real life. Love offline because it’s time and life is moving quickly. Be confident, smart, and carry on with passion this summer. Every pot has a lid. Stop overthinking and make your move halfway through the year and end the year under the mistletoe. This July, we have some exclusive specials that will only be available to our loyal readers and their friends. Share the love and pass it on! Be sure to mention this article and Code: SUMMERLOVE24 when you book your confidential appointment.
In times of doubt, create more love. We wish you tons of happiness this July and for the last six months of the year. May the force of love be with you.
XOXO,
The Double Win Matchmakers, Kelly & Miranda
