Client Testimonial: Retired 60-Something Lawyer

Every day, I am reminded of the incredible privilege I have as a matchmaker to work with matters as sensitive and profound as the heart.

It's a journey that requires trust, empathy, and a deep understanding of each person's unique story.

Today, I'm excited to share a heartfelt testimonial from one of our wonderful clients at Linx Dating.

“As an initial matter, it's important to understand my starting point. When you and I first began working together, I was just approaching the first anniversary of my wife's death. We'd been married and in love for more than three decades. I knew I wouldn't be able to build a new life for myself without a partner, but hadn't been on a "date" since the early 1980's. I knew absolutely nothing about how to find a life partner, and heard nothing but horror stories about online dating apps.

Working with you has been an enormous accelerator to my efforts. Beyond the good advice you shared, your referrals to other service providers in your network (e.g., photos and wardrobe building) have proven to be invaluable.

As I write this, I'm now seeing (on an "exclusive" basis) a woman you introduced about 7 months ago. She's warm, smart, interesting, attractive and serious about creating a genuine relationship. Most importantly, I'm happy when I'm with her. It's still too early to know if she's "the one," but I do know that I'd never have met her without your introduction.

Over the last year, you've introduced a substantial number of women. To be sure, some were quite far from a perfect fit. But a surprisingly high percentage were very impressive. Perhaps most importantly, they were all looking for a serious relationship and many had tried-and-quit online dating.

I've had fun/interesting dates with women I'd never have met otherwise.

At this point in my "journey," a key component of my daily personal happiness is the knowledge that, even if things don't work out with the woman I'm currently seeing, you stand ready to make new introductions.

A few words of caution/advice for your prospective clients. Seeking a life partner is pretty much the perfect opposite of purchasing a commodity. You can't get ahead of the curve by doing research, reading reviews and simply being willing to spend money. At the end of the day, you're looking for the "magic" that makes two people enjoy each other's company and live well together. Finding that is, first and foremost, a numbers game. You've got to be willing to meet lots of women . . . and keep an open mind/heart while you're doing so. I've met many women over the last year who would make fantastic friends. But only one woman who seems like a good fit as a romantic partner. Taking into consideration how rare "magic" really is, that shouldn't come as a surprise. Beyond numbers, you must stay focused on what truly matters. Everyone has their "negatives." It's incredibly easy to find reasons to reject a potential partner, and incredibly easy to lose sight of how rare and valuable a "magic" connection is. When the magic strikes, you've got to be ready with an open heart and the willingness to make a relationship work.

I'm very glad we're working together.”
