Blaine Anderson says privacy is another concern for professionals who don’t want their dating profiles posted publicly online. But even for those who do use apps, she says all that time spent swiping and messaging doesn’t always pay off.
Erika Kaplan agrees that a big benefit of professional matchmaking is having an expert with you alongside every step of the process. A matchmaker can help clients figure out what worked, what didn’t and what they’d like to do differently next time.
