This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I have been a client of hers for an entire year without a single introduction. I am considering legal action and would advise others against her services.

I do not know either side of this dilemma. I do have formal and extensive credentials to express my opinion for the benefits of both sides.
1- communication id a universal solvent. A two-way communication with a sincere desire to accomplish a goal produces magic results.
2- A polite and graceful approach to resolve a potential misunderstanding results in a very rewarding experience for all parties.
3- To air any form of animosity or blame toward anyone - guilty or innocent - either privately or publicly is a glaring sign of airing personal issues and placing the cause of them at someone else's door instead of taking a step back in a responsible way and ask "What dis I do or didn't do that caused this problem?"
4- Here is a cardinal rule to keep in mind: Any issue that is troubling or upsetting you, you can be certain that you had caused it yourself. If you go through all the justifications, at the end you will discover your own role in causing it.
5- We don not get upset because what other people did to us, we get upset because we did or didn't do that caused the issue.
6- And when we assume full responsibility for the issue by contemplating deeply within the privacy of our own heart and soul and pinpoint exactly how WE have caused the problem, it is only then that a feeling of calm and resolve takes the place of anger and animosity.
7- Taking responsibility is not placing blame or finding fault with ourselves, but rather admitting cause, instead of being the effect.
8- Finally, I wish that Mr. Dissatisfied deletes his statement from this venue and attempt to restore goodwill and harmony on both sides.

I was extremely disappointed to read such a negative comment about Nancy and Tampa Bay Matchmakersf, as my experience with her and her organization has been an extremely positive one! I wonder if the above complainant had unreasaonble expectations as to what to expect from a professional matchmaker.

She has a real passion for what she does, and genuinely cares about her clients! And she has a PhD, so she's extremely smart, but not in an intimidating way.

Nancy initially spent a couple hours asking me questions to really gett to know all about me and what I was looking for in a potential relationship. She encouraged me to be as specific as I wanted about what I want and what I don't want, whether the preferences were regarding personality, profession, education, religion, child status, physical appearance, etc. I understood that the more specific I was, the fewer potential matches I would have. There's no point in wasting anyone's time in being introduced to someone who wants children, for example, if the other doesn't want children.

She initially set me up with about 7 potential matches in short order, the first few of which were to get a better feel for whether she was meeting my criteria. After each meeting, there is a discussion about what I liked or didn't like about the match and whether or not I would want to see her again...and she does the same with the other party. And then, if you're willing to hear it, Nancy will share the impression that was made and the comments from the other person. This is quite useful information as one doesn't always realize the impression or "message" one is projecting. Since Nancy is also a life coach, she can then use those skills to work on things that might be holding one back in finding THE ONE!

After the inital few introductions, she was able to fine-tune future matches. Yes, there were fewer matches, but that was because she was respecting my preferences, and all of the women I have been introduced to meet most, if not all, of my preferred criteria. In fact, there were two that I would very much have liked to pursue a relationship with (so Nancy was doing a good job in meeting my preferences), but unfortunately, I did not meet their criteria, which is certainly their privilege. That's not Nancy's fault, and I am still a satified client of hers with a new introduction scheduled for this Saturday.

By the way, I've been looking on the dating sites for a while with mixed successes. What I found interesting was that only one of the women I met through Nancy was using the dating sites on the internet. Some didn't trust internet dating, and others were of a high calibre or public profile that they didn't want an internet profile out there. So Nancy was introducing me to quality women whom I would not have otherwise found on the internet.

So, I strongly disagree with the complaint of the person who started this discussion. I don't know whether he had unrealistic expectations of what to expect from a matchmaker, whether he was overly picky, a jerk, or merely had a difference of opinion with Nancy. Those are his own issues.

I can only say that my experience with Nancy and Tampa Bay Matchmakers has been a VERY positive one, and I can highly endorse and recommend her services. Feel free to write me at Jerryslu@aol.com if you would like to ask more questions.
