Things I shouldn’t say as a matchmaker

From my experience as a matchmaker, I’ve learned that the signals people send in dating can be both clear and misleading. One key insight is that most individuals don’t actually miss the signs of whether someone is genuinely interested or not—they often just don’t want to believe them. This can lead to wasting time on matches that feel exciting at the start but aren’t truly sustainable. Interestingly, the most intense chemistry I’ve observed is often with the wrong person. This can be confusing for many because intense attraction feels like a green light, but it might mask incompatibilities that will cause issues later. When someone is truly interested, their intentions become clear early on, and there shouldn’t be confusion about how they feel or what they want. Another common pitfall is talking oneself out of feelings. People often rationalize or question their emotions instead of trusting their gut. If your instincts are telling you something, it’s worth listening carefully. Plus, if someone is genuinely interested, they will recognize your value and pay attention to your signals right away, not later when emotions have already been complicated. These insights highlight why patience, honesty with oneself, and clear communication are essential in the dating process. Don’t ignore those inner feelings just because they aren’t easy to accept. Instead, use them as guides to help find a truly compatible match who respects and values you from the start.
