They call it matchmaking for a reason. And while it would be wise to have someone else do all the miscellaneous work, you may need to get more involved.
Sometimes you just need to know who is in the database and how the matchmaker makes their decisions. Sometimes you don’t even see a photo of the potential client!

Even under these circumstances, the likelihood of lasting love still depends on the other person showing up and making a connection.
