MICHELE THE MATCHMAKER…THE CONSUMATE MATCHMAKING COACH

You know how you are dating someone, and something seems off but there is no communication from that person? So, you call your friends and ask their take, their advice and their insight. Then they are guessing as to what might be going on and as to how you should handle it. NOT IN BON JOUR MATCHMAKING SERVICE!

Because I am coaching both sides of the couple, if there is something askew, I can detect it right away from the feedback, share that info and help clarify and correct the issue. For example, I had a woman who had been dating a guy for a couple of months. She called and said she was crazy about him. She was the first person he met on the list of women he selected during his interview.

Well, that was great news because she had been a client at that point for 11 years. But I need the whole story. So, we hung up and I promptly called the man. He said he wanted to continue on his list. I asked why and he shared that he was doing all the work. Planning, calling, driving and he was looking for a partner. So, I hung up, called her back and told her EXACTLY what he had said. She was taken aback, had no clue. I said he selected 7 other women to meet, if you don’t become more engaged as a partner, someone else will. So, it’s up to you if you really are crazy about him. Apparently, she followed through on my advice as they married one year later! He married the first and only person he met, this was her 4th and last marriage (partly why she was a client for so long, 3 divorces are not a big seller).

That’s making relationships succeed in Bon Jour, not just throwing people together and whatever happens happens.

Legitimate Denver Matchmaking Services

Michele "the Matchmaker" Fields's avatarBon Jour Matchmaking Service

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.

HOW TO SUCCEED WITH LOCAL DENVER MATCHMAKERS

Michele "the Matchmaker" Fields's avatarBon Jour Matchmaking Service

One Little Suggestion Can Help You Succeed

In the 33+ years I’ve been matchmaking the one component that people who meet a mate possess is….they don’t raise their standards just because they are in a service.  All of the Bon Jour Matchmaking Service clients who married (626 people) were realistic in their expectations and chose matches that they would choose anywhere else outside of the service had they had the good fortune to meet them.

When you join a local service, you are exposed to singles who you would never have met otherwise.  They may travel a lot or live in communities you never visit.  They may be involved in some activities slightly different than yours, so you don’t meet through those.  Take advantage of the fact that but for Bon Jour (or any local service) your paths would never have crossed.

Over the years I’ve seen clients turn down…

IN BON JOUR MATCHMAKING WE ARE PARTNERS

Michele "the Matchmaker" Fields's avatarBon Jour Matchmaking Service

When you first contact me to ask questions about my service, that is when we both start evaluating whether my structure, philosophy and personality fit for you and I assess whether you are someone my clientele would be interested in meeting, truly understand my philosophy, whether you are realistic, your dating attitude and whether we communicate well enough to work together.  To make this a successful partnership both sides have to fit…just like with your matches.

As it says all over my website this is anOLD FASHIONED MATCHMAKING SERVICE. Presumably you are calling me because you understand that and all that means. So to ask me how many are in my “database” right off the bat tells me you don’t get it. My clients are not a “database”, they are clients. Would you want to be considered part of a database or a client? One implies a much…

DIRECT AND HONEST or CHARISMATIC AND UNTRUSTWORTHY

Michele "the Matchmaker" Fields's avatarBon Jour Matchmaking Service

Which Do You Prefer?

Are you the type of person who falls for charm and charisma and lives to regret it? Those charismatic charmers are often called scammers. I have a relative who is very, very charismatic, however once he’s “got” you he’s like a snake and will bite you the minute you are off guard. Yes, they are wonderful to chat with but beware of doing business with them or getting romantically involved.

When you are doing business and making a financial investment whether it be with a financial advisor or a personal Matchmaker, is it more important to you that they have a “good bedside manner” even if they are not trustworthy? There are many business owners like that in all categories of business who have left a trail of very pissed off people behind them. In the long run the truth is the most important component regardless…

VETERAN MATCHMAKER WARNS OF REVIEWS OF MATCHMAKING OR DATING SERVICES

Michele "the Matchmaker" Fields's avatarBon Jour Matchmaking Service

How to Interpret Negative Yelp Reviews of Businesses

Owning a matchmaking service is a slippery slope…you are managing people’s hopes and dreams as well as egos and expectations.  Many people who join a service have higher criteria for the people they meet in the service than they would in the “real” world.  So they may turn down potential introductions that could have blossomed into a lifetime if they had not been so overly particular.

Regarding negative reviews…people have many agendas when writing either a positive or negative review of a business. Specifically in a matchmaking or dating service, again we are talking about hopes, dreams and ego. If a person was unsuccessful for any reason they may have a vendetta against that service. It may have nothing to do with the service itself, the owner or even the clients. In fact it may have alot to do with that client’s…
