Matchmaking Service

If you have used online dating sites before and had no luck then you may consider using some sort of matchmaking service. There are plenty of companies out there that offer these services. Basically, they decide what would be best for you once you give them an idea of what you want in a person. Some do this by meeting with you and determining what would be the best match for you. Others have automated systems that spit out recommendations from a series of tests that you may take.

Matchmaking as a form of online dating usually leads to better dates or at least better connections. One reason behind this is that people will put there faith in an experts opinion as far as love goes. Or one would think that this format works because people are always wanting a second opinion on dates. Haven't you ever had a friend say, "So, what do you think about him/her?". Well, with these services you already have some sort of pre-determined sense of thinking that someone else finds this person worthy.

With the sites below you will be able to find companies that will help you find a date. Most charge for their services, so you will have to check to see what is the best value for what you expect from a match making service.

Matchmaking Service Featured Sites

eHarmony
This site makes you take a personality profile test before you can use the site. Close to 20% of the test takers are not even allowed to join because they don't fit into a category (or are complete losers). If you are selected to use the site then you will be put into a category and then you will only be able to see and contact people in your compatiable categories. This is their automated way of match making.

Reciprodate
This site has you create a profile and search for indivduals. Once you check out the possible date they will have a predicted rating of whether that person will like you or not. I don't know how well this matchmaking service is though.
