Discover Our Coverage in the West Midlands
At Matchmakers Dating we have been offering high end dating agency and personal matchmaking services to professionals and aspiring professionals in the West Midlands since our launch in 2005, with some terrific results along the way too.
Most of our initial conversations with clients, start with the words “I have tried online dating, but I know its not for me because……….”. They then go on to provide a plethora of reasons why online dating has become a complete turn off for them.
We understand those reasons and why so many people have now turned their back on meeting strangers on the internet or via smartphone apps. Our database has expanded16-fold in the years since 2013 as a consequence of this dissatisfaction and disaffection. It is one our greatest assets.
We understand that the burgeoning crime rate linked to online dating (many of them serious crimes), the huge number of fake profiles exposed by the media (and particularly the BBC’s Panorama and Crimewatch), the record levels of internet dating related fraud, which reached more than £100 million as far back as in 2017 along with the terrifying lack of supervision and checking by the online dating and smartphone app companies.
This means that it has become a no-go area for many who just couldn’t put themselves and their families at risk in that way and many have flocked back to the safer waters and more meticulous approach of a traditional, face to face dating service such as that offered by Matchmakers.
Our approach we are told is a refreshing change to online dating. We interview every potential member personally, we vet every potential member very carefully, particularly their residency details and who they are living with and we insist on every new member providing photographic evidence of identity and their residency. So that we can check that they are genuinely single and eligible.
Personal Matchmaking in the West Midlands
If you would like to meet a wonderful new partner across the West Midlands region then Matchmakers can most definitely help, as this is home to us too and where we are based, near to Stratford upon Avon. Our tried and trusted, traditional methods of introducing potential partners seem to be appreciated by almost everybody but we would make the point that they are not new – personal matchmaking as a means of meeting new people was here many years before the advent of internet-based dating around the turn of the new millennium.
The first traditional dating agency in Great Britain opened its doors in 1705 in London, known as a ‘matrimonial bureau’ in those days it was the forerunner of the sort of traditional, face to face service that we offer today. Down the years big names in our industry like Dateline, Elite Introductions, Avenues, Drawing Down the Moon and The County Register have carried on this great work and in 2005 we followed suit but in a speciality market – bringing this traditional and tried and trusted method of meeting to the younger end of the age spectrum. Those aged 25-49, which is a unique offering in traditional dating and one that we are extremely proud of. We are also one of the few companies to cover the whole of mainland Great Britain.
