When hiring a Matchmaker you share the responsibility with the Matchmaker to work together, put your best foot forward, have an amicable relationship with that Matchmaker and be realistic in your expectations.

If you join a matchmaking service it is their responsibility to show your profile to the most appropriate candidates. Not to waste your time setting you up with prospects that do not fit your preferences. It is your responsibility to be realistic with your criteria and realize that whenever you are shown a profile you have the right to turn it down. Conversely when your profile is shown to a prospect they have every right to turn you down. Remember that although new clients come in every week they may not fit your preferences, be the opposite sex or select to meet you. So the key is patience…sometimes there is a match right away and sometimes it can…

When Robin Williams reached Heaven this morning even God gave him a standing ovation.  There really was only one like him.  They say that about many people but in his case he was the definition of unique.  We’ll never see another Robin Williams in our lifetime.  We won’t forget what a superb actor he was…he just did it all with ease.

I can’t help but think of the enormous loss this is to the many people he touched who he worked with over so many years and on so many projects.  The other celebrities who grew up with him.  And, of course, his family and friends who must be in the depths of sadness.

His humor, talent and compassion helped so many people escape from the stress of their lives but sadly no one was able to help him with his own challenges. I’m sure everyone second guesses themselves as…

All information about Denver matchmaking services has come directly from either printed reviews and material already online and/or from callers or clients.  This is not my personal review.

Yes, again a news magazine, this time 20/20, as has Dateline NBC, reported on a rapist who chose his victims from the Match.com inventory.  According to 20/20, the Philadelphia police estimate that at least 21 women who met this guy, Jeff Marsalis, on Match.com were drugged by him and raped.  The women had only vague memories of the incident, which is not unusual having been slipped a date rape drug when they went for drinks.

What attracted all of these women to this guy?  He lied his ass off.  Not unlike many people using Internet dating services.  His lies ranged from his occupation being a doctor, a med student, in the CIA, in the NASA Flight Surgeon program, and more.  He had…

UPDATE:  It is now 2022 and over these several years since this incident, several other “matchmakers” around the country have contacted me in a similar way.  They don’t know me, my service or my clients NOR DO THEY ASK ANYTHING ABOUT ANY OF THOSE!  Yet they are more than willing to ask me to pimp out my clientele so they can fulfill THEIR contract!  THESE ARE NOT MATCHMAKERS!  Consumers need to start being more savvy instead of being ripped off constantly.  READ the contract in full before signing it!  With every new client, they have to read the contracts in front of me before I start the interview.  It’s been that way for 34 years!

I received this email. It is so unprofessional I can’t believe it. Does her “client” even know she’s doing this? She doesn’t say who she is, anything about the client other than she…

I had confidence in the level of detail on the website. Michele Fields is no nonsense and direct and she has a serious and sincere clientele. Matt E.

Open ended contract, fair investment, lots of information. Justin B.

After speaking with Michele I felt confident that she was skilled at her profession. Dr. D

She seemed more sincere. Not a money mill! Brad K.

I think Michele works hard to find someone who is a good fit. Dave A.

I was impressed with the length of time that Michele has spent in business in the Denver area-it’s clear that this is her calling. I…

How do I know if a dating service is legitimate?

Of course, view the Denver Better Business Bureau website and/or if you like a consumer advocate on any local news stations call them and ask if they know anything about that service. For example, a service in Colorado Springs claims on their website to have been in business since 1987. However, if you look them up on the BBB it states that they were established in 1993! So, it does pay to check the BBB and don’t just look at the rating. Even a service with an A rating may have had complaints if you scroll down the information. There is a local service (I forget now which one) who had 5 complaints in 36 months but still has an A rating! Perhaps the BBB is a little liberal with their rating system, but still worth checking out.

Google lots…
