Widow Matchmaking and Dating: Helping You Find Love Again

Dating through or after bereavement can feel like an isolating experience. Finding the courage and time to consider finding someone new can be an emotionally draining experience but in time, and with the help of psychology-trained matchmakers at Maclynn, hope is on the horizon.

At Maclynn (formerly Vida), we specialise in private, bespoke introductions to learn who you are and talk sensitively about your previous relationships. Our process is completely confidential and is handled with the utmost professionalism, sensitivity and care. You will experience an entirely bespoke profiling process to ensure we understand your current situation, your core values and the type of person you’re looking for.

We understand that it’s important you move at your own pace; the feelings of pain and loss do not mean you have to give up on love. Through your journey with Maclynn, you will be introduced to a handful of exceptional singles, all of which are chosen by our expert matchmakers based on your private, personal profile.

Whether you’re ready to begin dating again, or you simply want to talk with a certified psychology-based matchmaker, our approachable team is here to help.

Moving at your own pace is essential, and we’re here to help

One of the most important factors to address before committing to the idea of finding love again, is remembering to do so at your own pace. Widow and widower dating is not a process of forgetting past memories with a loved one. Instead, it offers a chance to learn to love again. This takes time, but with the right support and expertise, we are confident we can help you find love again.

Each client we see has experienced a different bereavement journey, and only you can know whether you’re ready to consider or experience a new, meaningful relationship.

How our matchmaking process works for widows

At Maclynn (formerly Vida), we’re more than matchmakers. We are trained professionals who combine personalised introduction with psychological principles to understand your core values and the type of person you’re looking for.

You will be introduced to your own matchmaker who will look after you throughout your matchmaking journey. Together, you will build your private profile to help you identify your core values and what you’re looking for in your ideal life partner. The more honest and accurate you are during your consultation, the more accurate your matches will be.

We understand that there may be some details you may not want to, or be able to share if they are too sensitive, and we respect this.

We then explore our offline network of exceptional singles, choosing only the best matches for you. We will contact you and show you their profile and from there, you can decide whether you’d like to be introduced to this person.

Your matchmaker will discuss with you the location in which you’d like to meet your match and any further arrangements you require to make you feel comfortable and most importantly, enjoy this new dating experience.

Your matchmaker will become your confidant and your friend throughout your 6 – 12 month membership with us. They will always be on-hand to offer their support and advice.
