Dating service
matchmakers provide an enjoyable alternative to apps and online dating.
It’s personal. It’s private. It’s convenient. It’s real.
After Founder Andrea McGinty's engagement was called off (and found herself suddenly single!), she began the tedious search to meet "normal", well-educated professionals. Her friends sent her out on blind dates, she tried personal ads, contemplated the internet and dating services, but she wasn't comfortable with any of these options. The ideal date, she decided, was a lunch date or a drink after work. A fun, laid back, stress-free way to meet!
It's time to give yourself permission to build your days around what's important to you! You're in Control!
