The Process - What to Expect from Our Matchmakers

Pre-Contact Exploration

This is a little bit of preliminary work on your part prior to making the decision to contact us.

• We highly encourage you to explore all of the information on our website so that you have a good overview of what you are about to experience with our company and services. Take some notes. Make a list of questions to ask. This will give you the best level of understanding of the entire process BEFORE you take the next step in your journey.
• Understand that we are a specialized INTERNATIONAL matchmaker. Our focus is to expand your romantic horizons beyond your local borders under the assumption that you have not had much success finding a special person within your own region or country. If this is not within your scope of interest, we can often recommend some reputable matchmakers that may better meet your needs.
• Explore how much our matchmaking services cost. And your responsibilities in this regard. We are one of the few professional matchmakers that actually clearly publish their fees and the nuances of those fees depending upon your needs. All things considered, we think that you will find our costs to be surprisingly reasonable.
• You can also explore some of our active women's profiles from different regions of the world to see what real opportunities may be available to you. We have literally tens of thousands of active ladies who are serious about finding someone special in their life.
• As an arm of the AFA Singles Network, we have literally hundreds of corporate and affiliate offices across four continents worldwide supported with more than a thousand assistant matchmakers and support staff. Generally, this would include Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Usually, our clients will focus on one of these major regions for their search and our basic matchmaker fees include one of these regions. Expanding your geographical search may incur additional costs since we have to engage additional staff in the process. Your choice(s) can be discussed however you should formulate an idea of what your geographical preference may be.
• Having done your research and somewhat educated yourself as to what our services entail and how your experience will work, you can make the decision to move to the next step and contact us to explore your opportunities further WITHOUT ANY OBLIGATION whatsoever.

NOTE: If you are thinking that our more intense Executive Program is not for you at this time, you can still explore your international dating and marriage opportunities otherwise featured here on our website here. While still matchmaker assisted, this will be less personal and more of a premium DIY approach that can STILL give you a tremendous opportunity to find and meet that special person for you through all of our communications options and group and individual introduction tours..
