Matchmaking Agencies vs Dating Apps

Happy Launch Day! Now our doors are officially open, it is only right that we start the Deepr Perspectives Blog with the story of how we started.

Before I met my partner, I was on the apps… this is a no judgement zone! Truthfully I found the whole process a bit overwhelming. I was focused on my career, but wanted to meet someone to ‘settle down with’ but without the pressure of a 3 month talking stage and the ‘perfect profile’. I wasted hours trying to figure out if they also wanted the same thing, the SURFACE level conversations and guessing whether they’d be the same in person vs on text. When I finally met my current partner, I was exhausted with it all but he was different. He was intentional and clear about what he wanted and he made me realise falling in love could be enjoyable. Within the first month we’d crossed the ‘I love you’ bridge and I realised we had dated deepr… than most couples do. I realised that being vulnerable and open accelerated our connection and that was the missing piece with apps.

Modern dating, much like most of society, encourages the most convenient method, it often doesn’t feel like it is designed for people like us, who don’t want to play games and it’s complicated. Talking stages, who pays on the first date, getting to know everyone’s favourite colour is exhausting! Not to mention, the cheesy puns, misaligning intentions and outright craziness. I realised that there are little options available to help people like us navigate the dating scene and who want to match with someone in real life. The outcome was countless failed talking stages, declining belief in true love and mistrust in people all together!

So Deepr Matchmaking Agency was born to not only help real people, find love in real life but to give them the tools to form better connections and more importantly - keep them alive!  

Pros and Cons of Dating Apps

Ironically I found my current partner on a dating app, and I have zero regrets! They radically open up the dating pool for people like me, who despite being extroverts, don’t like to leave their homes… remember this is a no judgement zone!  They are great if used by people who are open about their true intentions and who they are. However, we know this is not always true and can make the dating world actually feel smaller and that everyone is all the same and no one wants love etc etc. They also don’t help you once you are in the relationship - once you’ve deleted the app you are on your own - they do very little to ensure you are matched for long term compatibility.

At Deepr Matchmaking Agency, while offering matchmaking services, we do not discourage the use of dating apps because they are great tools, when used appropriately. Instead, we help our clients navigate the tool. Focusing on how to communicate, date and filter out the noise to best attract their dream partner. We offer tips on how to be vulnerable and build genuine connections that last!  

Pros and Cons of Matchmaking Agencies

Matchmaking agencies allow relationship professionals to do the hard work for you, they help find you a partner that is ideal for you based on multiple factors. They also help quality check your potential matches to also be sure of their true intentions before you start to get to know them. Long term, this improves your chances of finding someone you are truly compatible with, but with all personalised services it takes countless hours of interviewing and fact checking and that comes at a cost. The energy you save by not having to filter through the unserious candidates, you can use to become the best version of yourself so when your match does come along you will be ready!

What makes deepr different from other matchmaking agencies is that we focus on helping you become the best version of yourself so that when your dream partner comes along your relationship has the best chance of survival. More importantly once you have been matched, we continue to support your relationship to give it the best chance of long term survival.
