I worked with Lindsey who recently matched me from the singles pool with one of her clients and I just wanted to share how positive the experience was for me. I've been in the singles pool for Three Day Rule in the DC area for a few years now and it wasn't until more recently that I've been matched, recommended, and went on a few dates.
Lindsey does a great job balancing the timing of more automated steps (initial interest/availability, follow up reminders, set up first date, etc) with the more nuanced aspects of assessing compatibility and working through feedback from early dates. For the initial introduction to her client and making plans for the first date, everything was easy to understand and very straightforward. For the feedback from early dates, Lindsey made herself easily available to both of us, passing along information quickly to keep momentum going. Lindsey made me feel safe to be honest with my feedback, and made me more receptive to some criticism my date had for me.
While it didn't work out between Lindsey's client and I, it was a great experience thanks to our hardworking matchmaker. I tell my friends; "bring back chaperones to dating, I can't believe we ever got rid of the practice." Seriously though, I find myself getting a little self-conscious that my praise for Lindsey might sound a little mundane. She introduced me to a great woman, helped me to feel excited and confident about dating, and I'm very grateful for it. For me that doesn't happen often, and especially not through the early parts of the pandemic. I have to admit I am the type to often get excited about pretty normal things. It's nice to feel normal again, like I am reconnecting with my best self. This is how dating should be!
Hope I was able to convey my positive experience here, I highly recommend working with Three Day Rule and you'll be additionally lucky if Lindsey is your matchmaker!
