The Matchmaking Company — Attraction in Cranford

Same as others here expressing their distain w/this company, I've never, in my life experienced such misrepresentation of service at a costly price.

I chose this route because of experiences I had w/online dating. I went to the Cranford, NJ office where I met Janet earlier this year. I was told no one can come w/me into the offices (now I know why). She listened intently, showing a "concern" about the experiences I had with relationships. She probed into my life as if she cared about my experiences in order to exploit the empathy card.

I filled out all the paperwork w/the characteristics of the men I'd be attracted to and gave her my cc. I left there thinking she's got me. She got me alright.

After several days of no one contacting me, I reached out to my mm. I told her specifically what I'm looking for. Without going into the details (which are outlined so eloquently by other reviews), my mm set me up w/men that WERE NOT what was in my Bio. Just to preference, these were all nice men. I was even lied to about the ethnicity of the men whom I met. I went as far as challenging based on the name given me but was assured otherwise. I was also set up w/a man who had recently lost his wife, who, in my opinion, looked exhausted and was not mentally ready to date (they must have conned him too). I wrote such scathing feedback of my dates, calling out the mm not adhering to my bio, that someone from another office assured me they'd get things right. I never got contacted by anyone after that conversation.

Their "elite" division also contacted me based on my bio (I did not pay for this). The mm contacted me and she "jacked" this guy so high, I agreed to meet. I was sent a picture w/his approval (which doesn't happen in the 'average joe' division) and I declined the date (millionaire status doesn't impress me).

This company and its employees took gaslighting courses; painting a picture that, in reality, doesn't exist. Don't be fooled by their kind words and empathetic ear. Your wallet shouldn't be opened by emotions, nor should it be taken advantage of by a con-artist/sales person. Walk away. If it sounds too good to be true, it...

My experience with the matchmaking services has truly been a positive one.

Prior to seeking their assistance, I encountered numerous false profiles and catfishers while using different dating apps. This frustrating experience led me to consider professional help, and I am grateful that I did. The selective process their team employs ensures that I was introduced to legitimate individuals who met the criteria I was looking for in a partner. The conversations I had with the matchmakers were wonderful. They took the time to understand my needs and preferences, ultimately introducing me to my first match, who aligns with what I asked for. This service has provided me with a tremendous time-saving advantage, allowing me to focus on building meaningful connections rather than filtering through countless profiles.

While I understand that no service can guarantee happiness or a perfect match, I appreciate the company acknowledges the importance of nurturing relationships over time. Additionally, the flexibility of putting the contract on hold for six months if one of the matches proves promising is a thoughtful feature that I value. I look forward to seeing where this process takes me and will certainly recommend the...

Unfortunately, I can't begin to share in the level of enthusiasm posted in the reviews. The lack of attentiveness one would expect at such a high price tag, fails in comparison to even some of the online services. WHY THE MAKESHIFT OFFICE, OR NO ONE TO ANSWER PHONES? I have my suspicion as to whether or not an actual background check is authentic. The 20 minute phone call that is intended as a coaching session, only to solicit more money, has all the making of a scam! I am appalled at my own behavior and have learned an expensive lesson to NEVER allow oneself to make decisions under duress and to walk away when anyone pressures you by stating,it's a 'ONE Time Offer!' I would definitely like to request a full refund. but I imagine I need legal counsel for that. I have not gone on a second date and sadly I have lost all trust in Nora's ability to match me or in their algorithm to match anyone beyond trial and error! I AM NOT WITNESSING 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE! My hope is that I get to retracr...
