New Year, New You, New Dating Strategy
Why 2023 Will Be Your Best Year to Reset and Find Your Ideal Partner
From phantom relationships to dating zombies, being ghosted and disrespectful dating etiquette, the online dating landscape can be ruthless. It’s no surprise that an increasing number of professionals are turning their backs to online dating apps and turning to the bespoke expertise of dating experts, like International Certified Matchmaker Lara Besbrode, founder of multi-award-winning Cheshire-based matchmakers, The Matchmaker UK.
UK singles often turn to online dating apps in the hope of finding their match. But dating apps are not without their headaches, with more singletons reporting rejection, disrespectful behaviour and even racism online. What’s more, bad dating behaviours like ghosting, apocalypsing, breadcrumbing, and snowflaking are increasingly prevalent. Anyone who has been ghosted after a date (or two) is intimately familiar with the gut-wrenching feeling of never hearing from your match again. To back this up, eHarmony researchers at the Oxford Internet Institute found that 95% of users send messages to almost 12 people each week, replying to fewer than seven messages in return. Finding a match in the best of times is difficult. The post-pandemic dating reality continues to look choppy as more singles re-evaluate their dating lives. According to a post-pandemic research study, 54% of respondents said that they will be more intentional about dating, specifically in relation to how and when they choose to date. For many of us, dating is rarely an easy endeavour. Throw in a mix of poor dating etiquette, underwhelming first dates, short-lived flings and you have a recipe for heartache.
At The Matchmaker UK, we take the challenge out of finding and meeting that special person. Lara and her team of vibrant matchmaking superstars are fully engaged in arranging unique introductions amongst the recently single crowd. When you sign up to The Matchmaker UK’s bespoke service, we’ll take the time to personally get to know you on a deep level, taking the time to learn about your personality, wants and requirements. Equipped with your profile, we get out there and start proactively searching to find your match. You’ll instantly save the endless amount of time spent searching for a match online (including time spent responding to messages and constantly checking to see if they’ve replied!)
New clients consistently tell us that the online dating landscape is overflowing with a mixed bag of potential dating prospects. Some are flaky commitment-phobes while others may just be dipping their toes back into the dating scene. How can you tell the difference? It can be time-consuming, soul-draining and confidence-crushing to sift through a sea of singletons.
With the help of our matchmaking service and in-house psychologist, we filter out subpar matches. We’re committed to making the stars align for you and your prospective match from the outset, so you can look forward to meeting a qualified match who is ready to take the next step in finding love.
Not only do we bring peace of mind to your dating experience, but we also add a premium, upmarket touch. Throughout your dating journey, we’ll lead with a bespoke, discreet, human-centred approach. You can expect to be matched with a thoroughly vetted, ID- and background-checked partner (courtesy of a 30-point profile matching system) who suits your preferences. Protecting client safety, cybersecurity and confidentiality are at the heart of what we do. Additionally, most online dating platforms leverage the power of AI bots to draw up matches. But do you really want an algorithm to dictate the outcome of your love life? Dating is an entirely human endeavour. And while technology has a certain role to play, as a matchmaker, there’s nothing quite like meeting and getting to know clients on a human level. No AI bot can recreate the intimate, bespoke matchmaking service of connecting two highly compatible relationship-seekers! Moreover, we boast an impressive client roster and transformation team. Clients continuously benefit from our in-house dating coaches, photographer, and psychotherapist.
Since our inception, we’ve crafted countless success stories, creating charming pairings that will last a long time. Our matches have gone on to enjoy many firsts, including weddings, anniversaries and babies! As attitudes and desires shift from meaningless, short-term encounters, to a yearning for something more meaningful, Lara encourages her matches to keep an open mind and take the time to get to know their date.
“Focus on showcasing your great personality, values and needs in a relationship as opposed to focusing on what your date expects from you. This way, you’ll be much more likely to connect with your match and find a fulfilling, wholesome and nurturing relationship that stands the test of time!” - Lara Besbrode, Founder, The Matchmaker UK
