would you like to have a matchmaker introduce you and chaperone the first 15-20 minutes of your date?

Question

i think this would be a wonderful idea:
if you didnt hit it off the matchmaker would spare you any awkward embarassment and you could both withdraw gracefully.
also if the matchmaker insisted on id from both partners..you would feel far safer than newspaper adverts and the like, where you could meet any kind of freak whatsoever.
i would prefer this to meeting at a matchmakers house.
i know nothing about matchmakers...will there be at least one in every town or have i identified a gap in the dating market?
how do they operate? i would like the sort of arrangement where if we hit it off...we would buy a gift together for the matchmaker.
i wouldnt like it to be a strictly financial arrangement.
i can imagine this being a very emotionally rewarding activity for a sociable mature [50+] person with a lot of life experience.
maybe the ideal activity for certain disabled people?
are any of my readers doing this very thing in west yorkshire?
if not, are there websites run by trustwort

Answer 1

is this something that you could do? I really like the idea. There have been occasions in the past where by i would have liked that kind of guidance and support. Mind if i take it up with my hubby to c what he thinks of it as a business idea?

Answer 2

Not a good idea. There are plenty of website that will match you up and I don't need anyone chaperoning me. If you feel it's not working just be adult and say so in a nice way.

Answer 3

No, for me a matchmaker would simply be annoying. I have no problems telling someone I'm not interested - I don't need a third party to do it for me.

Answer 4

when people are socially mature and full of life experience, trust me, the don't need a chaperone ..they also know themselves, have much more confidence and don't need someone picking a potential mate for them
