I Worked as a Professional Matchmaker — Here’s Why You Can’t Find Love
Hard Truth: It’s Not Them, It’s You.
I was a huge fan of The Millionnaire Matchmaker series.
The idea of helping people find ‘love’ felt like a glamorous and meaningful career to me.
So, when I had the opportunity to become a Matchmaker to professional singles in Sydney I jumped at the chance.
I thought I would be changing peoples lives - helping them find ‘the One’ person they’d create a loving home and family with.
In reality, I spent my days meeting sales targets while trying to (discreetly) juggle a 3:1 female to male client ratio.
Despite all this, I could see the people I met genuinely wanted to find someone to love and be loved.
And what Patti Stanger recognised in her clients on The Millionaire Matchmaker was also what I witnessed in the singles of Sydney.
Their biggest challenge in finding love was themselves.
It’s Time To Look in the Mirror
A reoccurring theme with my clients was they believed their failure to find love was an external issue.
