We normally work with our clients over a 6-12 month membership. Many clients meet someone special within months, while others take longer depending on their preferences, availability and openness to introductions.
How we work
Maclynn’s winning formula comprises three components: Psychological expertise, an exclusive global network of highly sought-after singles and an authentic and compassionate team.
EXCLUSIVE MATCHMAKING, TAILORED TO YOU
Our Private Membership service has been designed with you front-of-mind. Your matchmaker will embark on a journey to find your dream match with the level of dedication you’d ordinarily expect only of a lifelong friend.
Leaving no stone unturned, we will search relentlessly but discreetly. Because we believe your dream match is out there—even if you’ve started to feel disheartened yourself.
Tapping into our network of thousands of exceptional singles, your matchmaker will home in on every detail, then handpick only the best matches. And of course, only you have the final say on who you meet.
Maclynn 5-Step Matchmaking Methodology
Know Yourself
We need to understand your unique core principles and beliefs before we start envisaging the person who could be your life partner.
Define Your Ideal Match
Opposites attract—but only up to a point. Your ultimate match will have deeply held values that match yours, share your outlook on life, and just 'get' you like no one ever has before. They will live and breathe life just as you do.
Visualize The Relationship
Building a relationship that stands the test of time is about so much more than the person. Consider goals, roles, location. Your life's cogs must align with theirs. That's why we will attend to the minutiae of any potential match's character and lifestyle, ensuring you don’t meet someone who captivates you but is actually unavailable, either emotionally or geographically.
Create a Plan and Put it in Motion
Have you thrown yourself into dating and been left wondering why it isn’t working? The missing link might be a solid plan, and the knowledge required to execute it. Our experts and matchmakers will not only create a strategy bespoke to your needs and personality, but they'll deliver it as well. You'll barely need to give it a second thought.
Date Mindfully, with Meaning and Purpose
Dating shouldn't feel like a numbers game. Every interaction should be considered with the attention it deserves, with each introduction taking you closer to finding your ultimate match.
Psychology-based expertise
Most of our team have studied psychology to undergraduate, Master’s or even PhD level. Their expertise and insights are unparalleled in the industry. That’s how we can bring our clients only the most amazing matches, time and again.
And what’s more, each of our wonderful matchmakers has the warmth and charisma to guide you seamlessly along your journey. Say goodbye to chaos.
A global network of singles
When you embark on your search for the perfect match, it’s natural to orient yourself toward who you know, and who they know. After all, personal introductions are the best!
It’s not all that different at Maclynn. Our introductions are still made personally—our ‘friendship group’ just happens to encompass nearly 20,000 remarkable singles across the globe!
Our team
Searching for your dream partner is a big deal. That’s why our team don’t just know their stuff, but why we hire them specifically for their compassion and authenticity, too. We will welcome you with kindness and sincerity.
Not seeking a personalised matchmaking service? Perhaps all you're after right now is a bit of advice, encouragement and direction. Great! Our coaching and consultancy services would be perfect for you. Our experts will empower you with the knowledge and confidence you need to navigate dating successfully on your own.
How We Work: FAQs
How long does the process take?
How many introductions will I receive?
We prioritise quality over quantity. Each introduction is hand-selected based on compatibility, values and relationship potential. The number and frequency of introductions are tailored to you.
How do you find and match clients?
We start by understanding your personality, values, lifestyle and relationship aspirations. Matches are found from our international network of vetted singles and through proactive search and headhunting by our matchmaking team.
Do you use psychology or personality profiling?
Yes. Psychology is the foundation of our matchmaking process. Your profiling session helps your matchmaker identify compatibility traits, and what you truly need in a partner.
Who will be my principal matchmaker, and what are their credentials?
You’ll be paired with one of our matchmakers based on your location, personality fit and expertise level required or preferred. Our team includes experts with backgrounds in psychology, coaching and relationship science. Maclynn was founded by Rachel MacLynn, a Chartered Psychologist in the UK.
How much of your search comes from your existing network vs. proactive headhunting?
It really depends on the client. We will generally only work with a client if we already have a suitable existing network and then we will also tailor headhunting specific to the client needs. We will always extend the search proactively through discreet headhunting to ensure no opportunity is missed.
Do you only introduce people in my city?
No. Your search can be regional or international, depending on your preferences and lifestyle.
Do you vet clients or conduct ID checks?
Yes. Every client undergoes a thorough personal interview and ID verification process before being introduced to you.
Is date feedback structured?
Yes. After each introduction, both clients have the option to provide confidential feedback. This helps refine future introductions and supports your dating journey.
What is the first step?
Your journey begins with a complimentary consultation. During this call, we’ll get to know you, understand what you’re looking for, and walk you through how our psychology-led process works. Every prospective client meets with one of our experts from the membership team before deciding to join. You can enquire via our online form or by contacting your nearest office, and a member of our team will be in touch to arrange your initial consultation.
