Introduction

At Matchmakers Inc., your safety is our top priority. Whether you're preparing for a blind date, meeting a match in person, flying to meet someone for the first time, or connecting online through self-service options, these guidelines are designed to help ensure your safety and peace of mind. Our exclusive matchmaking services are tailored to create meaningful connections while prioritizing your security.

1. General Safety Tips

  • Maintain Confidentiality: Do not share personal information like your home address, workplace, or financial details until you feel completely secure.

  • Communicate Through Our Team: If you have concerns or questions, rely on your matchmaker to facilitate communication.

  • Trust Your Gut: If something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to pause or request additional support from our team.

2. Safety Tips for Blind Dates and In-Person Meetings

  • Venue Selection: Always meet in a public, high-traffic location, such as a restaurant or hotel lobby, selected by our team or mutually agreed upon.

  • Inform Trusted Contacts: Share your meeting plans, including the venue and time, with a trusted friend or family member.

  • Independent Transportation: Arrange your own travel to and from the meeting location to maintain your independence and flexibility.

  • Inform Your Matchmaker of Additional Plans: If you plan to extend your meeting or include additional activities, let your matchmaker know so they are aware of your updated location and plans.

  • Keep It Comfortable: Blind dates can be exciting but keep initial meetings short to ensure you feel comfortable.

3. Safety Tips for Traveling to Meet Matches

  • Travel Arrangements: Use travel bookings facilitated by our team or through reputable travel agencies. Avoid making arrangements with unverified sources.

  • Share Travel Plans: Provide a trusted contact with your flight details, hotel information, and an itinerary for your trip. Update your matchmaker with this information as well so they are aware of your travel plans.

  • Stay in Approved Accommodations: Book accommodations recommended by our team or in well-reviewed hotels.

  • Emergency Contacts: Keep a list of local emergency contacts and share your plans with someone who can check in with you. Ensure your matchmaker is also informed about your emergency contacts.

  • Plan Ahead: Ensure you know the details of your meeting location, the person you’re meeting, and how to contact our team if needed.

  • Cultural Considerations: Research local customs and laws if traveling to a different region or country to ensure you’re prepared and respectful.

  • Provide Feedback: Share your thoughts with your matchmaker to help refine the process for future matches.

  • End Communication If Necessary: If you feel the match isn’t right for you, let your matchmaker know so they can handle the situation professionally.
