INDIVIDUALISM

People enjoy their personal freedom and space, so the idea of tying themselves down to one individual is a big ask. Generally most people would rather focus on their careers and having fun. With sex readily available via dating apps, who needs a relationship? And was that really a date?

THE NEED IS GONE

The need to follow the pattern of marriage and kids as an ingrained societal ideal is no longer expected. As the pressure to conform lifts, the idea of having to follow this life course is for many no longer an integral part of being an adult.

A FEAR OF COMMITMENT

Life now is all about choices, lots of them, almost to the point of being overwhelmed for choice. For many this translates into a fear commitment which often stems from past experiences and people’s own relationships with their parents.

Clinical psychologist Dr Abigael San believes that many develop fear of commitment because of past experiences, and relationships with parents growing up. Read her article in the Independent here.

Too Picky

Dating to find love is a science, and aside from physical aesthetics, we tend to find people attractive when they come from a similar background to you. How can you really know this if your search for a marriage partner takes place in an average online dating site or via an app? Julie Spira has some interesting things to say about women who are too picky here.

Deal breakers

Women and men tend to have a mental list of deal breakers when it comes to dating or marrying someone. Many of them are valid, but some are unnecessary obstacles that with a little coaching and conversation with a professional matchmaker could come off your list.

Looking for love in all the wrong places

Life isn’t always like it turns out in the movies – finding love that can work is not about luck. Maybe you could think of it more as opportunity meets talent. You could spend an inordinate amount of time looking for a partner for marriage in all the wrong places. Professional, successful people don’t have that kind of time – are you tired of waiting?

Desperation pouncing

If you’ve been trying to find love for a while, you may with a flicker of interest from someone pounce and suffocate any chance of a relationship with your sense of urgency in looking for a marriage partner.

Exhibiting stress

If the person who is really keen to find an elite date isn’t getting lucky when looking for a partner for marriage, they can get psychologically frantic, and the date can smell that stress a mile away. It can be the unseen deal breaker when it comes to dating because you won’t be relaxed and you won’t be acting like your true self.

Dealing with Individualism

You can change the way you view marriage when you don’t assume that one or both has to give up their life and career goals. It doesn’t have to mean women looking for marriage have to be homemakers. It doesn’t mean men looking for marriage need to stop focusing on career progression. When you get introduced to like-minded individuals looking for a partner for marriage via the executive matchmaking experts at Maclynn, individualism is encouraged not removed.

Your dedicated professional matchmaker is all about marriage matchmaking and will be coaching you to help you be the best version of yourself on your elite date. The fact that you will be meeting the right kind of people is going to make you immediately more relaxed when you are getting to know each other. You also have the comfort of knowing that they have the same goals and aspirations as you in looking for a marriage partner.

1. Find Someone Similar to You

Opposites attract with magnets but in love that doesn’t happen. If science has taught us anything it’s that people from similar backgrounds and interests gravitate towards each other.

With professional matchmaking services we curate your dating opportunities to ensure you meet people who has the same core values as you.

2. Success Does Matter

There’s a reason why over-achievers and under-achievers rarely get together. Frustration and feeling under threat are the two effects that come from this. That doesn’t make you a bad person. As humans we can’t help it, we always compare ourselves to others. That’s why we always advise finding someone with same values around goals and drive.
With professional matchmaking we can ensure you meet other successful people who are compatible with your accomplishments, goals and life aspirations.

3. Be Aware of Cultural Differences

Some bespoke matchmakers say that women or men looking for a partner for marriage shouldn’t endeavour to cross the cultural divide. This is far from the truth. It does come with additional challenges for men and women looking for marriage but it’s far from impossible.

With marriage matchmaking cultural differences are always considered and discussed before an introduction is made.

4. Lifestyle Concerns

You can have two people who look perfect on paper for one another, dig a little deeper and it might not be all that it seems. Your lifestyles need to be compatible if you’re going to make anything work. If for instance you regularly work abroad and your prospective partner can’t stand any kind of physical absence then it’s not going to work.

Executive matchmaking means introducing successful, educated, attractive, well-travelled individuals to each other who have similar lifestyles.

5. Building a Marriage Isn’t Like Building a Relationship

Those first few weeks in a new relationship are like a dream. You feel like you could be with this person forever, and you may indeed get into a relationship with them. But it’s a huge jump from relationship to marriage. Looking for a partner for marriage takes time and commitment.
