THE STREET - May 12 - Matchmakers are optimistic that Facebook won't be able to replace their key advantage: face-to-face meetings. "There really is a magic meeting face to face and that's why businesses like mine have survived even with the growth of the Internet," said Michael Karlan, president of Professionals in the City, a speed dating events provider. "It will positively impact upscale matchmaking businesses because people will want personal service even if it costs more," argued Michelle Jacoby, a matchmaker in the Washington D.C. area. Jacoby has run her own company, DC Matchmaking, for nine years. She usually takes 20 clients at a time, and matches clients to 6k-7K Washingtonian singles who joined her database for free.

Summarized by the IDEA team
In my experience as a life and relationship coach for over 15 years,
Matchmaking has a very low chance of success. Over 80% of my successfully coupled clients met through online dating AFTER applying the Motivated To Marry Methodology. Only one client in 15 years has met thei spouse through a matchmaking service. It takes a shift on how you are being when dating first before you can connect. So weather it’s Facebook or another online service (0ne third of all marriages comes from online dating) the key is knowing how to connect with another human being who shares the same life goals and relationship values.
