You have several options to choose from when deciding how you want to enter the dating scene. Ideally, most people would like to do so organically - ultimately meeting someone at a favorite after-work hangout, at an event, etc.
Simply bumping into your dream person is seen as the perfect way to find love, because in general people believe doing so should be effortless. We’re conditioned to think that love should come to you or find you, and if you’re trying too hard then it won’t.
This can be true to an extent, but let’s keep in mind dating isn’t one-size-fits-all. It looks a little different for everyone and depending on your circumstances, there’s nothing wrong with exploring different ways to go about it. One of those ways that is sometimes overlooked is matchmaking services. One reason matchmaking may be overlooked is because it’s not fully understood. Some people may view it as just hiring someone to set-up blind dates, but it’s much more than that. Additionally, compared to other methods such as tech-based or online dating, it’s the more effective option.
