At GR we are firm believers in a Matchmaking approach to dating, giving you a safe environment to build a long term, loving relationship. We feel that in having your own highly skilled Matchmaker is invaluable, to help guide you, support you and be there with you all the way on your journey to find love. At times we have all felt vulnerable, alone and exposed when trying to Find ‘The One’. That’s why, we at GR feel that the added support and reassurance is something that helps you immeasurably.
The dangers of online dating
You might well ask how this is different to online sites such as Grinder, Benaughty, GaysGoDating, which is a fair question. All of these sites work on the basis that you and everyone else who signs up, uploads all your own details such as photos, address, occupation, to name but a few and all of which go unchecked. When we actually sit down and think about it, only then do we realize what we are opening ourselves up to. We’ve all read or heard about the Tindler Swindler shocking story, and the way that the mega rich online dating companies don’t use any sort of verification system - the awful thing is that it’s not only our finances that these fraudsters try to steal from us, but worse still, our hearts and souls. It’s no wonder after several attempts to use these services we find ourselves dejected, confused and resigned that we may never find pure love.
The benefits of GR Matchmaking
With all the TV programs such as Married At First Site, Celebs Go Dating, The Millionaire Matchmaker and Love Island to name but a few, we have an insight into what Matchmaking is – although unlike the TV programs we are aren’t looking to make an entertaining program with all the on screen car crashes that are there for our entertainment. Our aim is to give you a safe and nurturing environment in which we do all the hard work in trying to find you the love that you desire and deserve.
GR Matchmaking vs Online Dating
GR Matchmaking
- Your safety both financial and emotional are at the center of all we do. We use the Lexus Nexus system which is used by some of the biggest companies, such as banks, building societies and mortgage providers to name but a few. What this means is that every member has been vetted for bankruptcy, solvency, residency and fraudulent crime, meaning all you have to do, is concentrate on finding your lifelong partner.
- Your confidentiality is paramount to us. Your photos, address, phone numbers and any information that you’ve shared with us will never be found online, or shared with anywhere else, it will only be stored in our state-of-the-art, bespoke software system – Duo.
- Within the time of your membership, you will have your own personal Matchmaker to guide you along your journey with us. In the first instance they will find out all about you, your likes and dislikes through a Discovery Interview either by a video call or a face-to-face interview at our head office. Then they will build a profile for you around what you have discussed and ask for photos, in which they will talk you through what sort of photos will represent you best – or you can come to our head office and have them taken in our photography studio at no extra cost. From that point your personal Matchmaker will start working on your behalf, looking tirelessly through our database to find matches based on what you’ve discussed together - no algorithms, just real people searching for real people – and remember, an open heart and mind will often lead to the most successful Matchmaking experience.
Online Dating
- Online dating members go unchecked, leaving you vulnerable and exposed to the pitfalls and perils that are sadly a growing pandemic – over £437,000,000 was lost to online dating fraudsters in 2021, this figure is ever increasing year on year.
- There’s no support or personal touch, only algorithms are used to find you a suitable life partner – the shortcomings of using this method have been exposed on several occasions, not least when they were used in the pandemic to predict grades for students.
- You have to do the hard work. Trawling through copious amounts of profiles, turning up for dates and either finding them to look completely different, have nothing in common or worse still, being stood up – we’ve all been there. Not only is this exhausting, but in this time pressured world that we find ourselves living in, the time wasted leaves us wondering if we should just give up and except that we are destined to live life on our own.
