The advantages of joining a matchmaking agency

My name is Eithne Buckley and I set up Twoheartsmeet Matchmaking Agency back in 2011. I have spent the last 13 years matching single, separated, divorced and widowed people from the mid 30s to late 70s age bracket. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I have compiled some of the questions I get asked by people thinking of joining up.

What criteria do you take into account when matching two people?

The main criteria are personality traits and values. Once I have someone within your ideal age bracket and location, these are the things I look for. I also compare physical attributes such as height and build as well as occupations, backgrounds, level of education etc.

What is your level of success?

As I take my work as a matchmaker very seriously and want to maintain the good reputation I have built up over the years, I am very successful and have a very high percentage of couples who stay together. On average, around 70% or 80% of couples that I match up end up in a long term relationship.

What is the difference between joining an online dating site and joining Twoheartsmeet?

As people pay a membership fee to join Twoheartsmeet, this shows they are serious about looking for a long term partner. As they have invested money in joining up, they show they are looking for commitment and not just a casual relationship or one night stand.

How many matches can I expect to get?

I don’t limit the number of introductions I offer people. As long as I have someone who I think you would be interested in meeting, I will give you the opportunity to see their profile and photo. If both of you agree to meet, I will exchange first names and phone numbers.

What’s the next step if I decide I want to join?

We would make an appointment to meet up to complete the profiling. This takes place over a cup of coffee in a quiet corner of a hotel where we won’t be disturbed and takes between 60-90 minutes.

What happens after the profiling is completed?

I will type up your profile and email or WhatsApp it to you so you can have a read of it and you can make any changes if you want.

If it doesn’t work out with the first person you match me with, how long will I have to wait for a follow up introduction?

It depends on your criteria. When I have someone else who I feel is a compatible match for you, I will send you their profile. We offer people the choice of either a one or two year membership package and you will receive introductions until you meet someone you want to stay with.
