Personalised Dating Agency
Caroline (not her real name) joined our dating agency over a year ago. She had tried a few online dating sites and was now searching for a dating agency in the Tipperary, Limerick or general Munster area when came across two hearts dating agency. She had tried a spell at internet dating but found that she couldn’t face into scrolling through on line profiles after a day of sitting in front of a computer at work. The idea of a personalised dating service appealed to her, so she could hand over the job of looking for her perfect partner to someone who was already successful at this very thing.
Finding Love
Caroline is a single professional lady in the mid-30 age bracket and was looking for someone not older than 42 with a view to marriage and hopefully a family all going well. Over the year that she’s been a member of our matchmaking agency she has accepted introductions with four guys. One lasted no longer than just one date; the two others lasted a few weeks each. The 4th guy however is gone past the six month mark and she can’t believe how well they are getting on together!
Ticking Boxes
Up to six months ago her emphasis was on the maximum age being 42 as well as other priorities such as having a big athletic build, at least 5’10” in height and a professional career. She doggedly stuck to this list as being crucial to finding compatibility with a potential partner. However, when the present guy came on our books he was coming close to his 47th birthday and was a slim Jim rather than her preferred bigger build that she admires in guys. Neither did he have what she would call a professional career!
Giving it a go!
However, she loved his profile based on a few things: they both were passionate about running and cycling and he had a lovely warm, irresistible smile in his photograph. She also noted that on his profile he described himself as confident and streetwise, two traits she admires in people. After much deliberation she decided to meet him and hoped that his slim frame wouldn’t be a turn off. She was also concerned that the fact he didn’t have a similar career path to her would mean they wouldn’t have a meeting of minds.
Perfect Partners!
As it turned out her fears were unfounded! They hit it off from the get go! Even though he had left school before finishing his leaving cert, he was an extremely intelligent and clued in individual and also had a very strong work ethic. He was only a few inches taller than her and about the same weight but she got used to this and after a while it didn’t bother her at all. The fact he was five years outside her ideal age bracket didn’t matter either as he had a larger than life personality, was extremely youthful in his ways and very liberal in his thinking.
Open Mindedness
They are discussing moving in together and she shudders when she thinks about how close she came to never meeting her special someone! If she had stuck to her original list of things that she thought were important to her in a compatible partner, they never would have met. She’s so relieved that she was open minded enough to give it a go. She has reaped the rewards over and over again! So when you’re thinking about what you’re looking for in a partner, be careful that you don’t pigeon hole yourself into some narrow place in your mind because you could miss out on someone who might be right under your nose!
