hollandgirl: Yes we desperately need a matchmaker so someone come forward.......Who is up to this one?
I can offer myself as the matchmaker. But you need to follow these rules--
1) Send me your very private profile-- all the statistics and history. Matchmaker cannot guarantee their confidentiality as they may need to be shared with your potential suitor.
2) Tell me your unique selling point (USP) and your absolute minimum requirement (AMR) for the partner. Tell me also the additional criteria for your partner that you would prefer or consider as bonus. This will help to find your ideal match.
3) Tell me your blind spots or things that turn you off that your partner must be aware of.
4) Tell me the things you accept and things you would like to change for yourself. There is nothing in-between-- either accept or change.
5) Once you receive a proporal you will have three options. A) Accept the proposal as it is, B) Conditionally accept the proposal with the conditions to change certain things with definite time lines (Point # 4 will help to find if they are within the realm of change plan), C) Not acceptable.
6) Never imagine of bashing the matchmaker. Believe that matchmaker is always right.
7) If you ever doubt that the matchmaker is not right, follow rule # 6.
Tell me if you would be interested in appoining me as your matchmaker.
