Why join Mass Match?

MASS MATCH VERSUS INTERNET DATING

Accountability
A recent study shows married people posing as singles are nearly 6 times as likely as actual singles to visit online dating sites to find a serious relationship.

That's why you need a personal, private and affordable dating service where people are who they say they are.

Private Profile Photos

Your profile photo can only be viewed by members who have met Lanie, and have been matched with you.

WH0 ARE MASS MATCHERS?
They are singles from 20's-80's. Everyone is in the same boat, after all. With over half the adult population single for the first time in history, it is, oddly, ever more difficult to find the right person.

ALL SINGLES -- GAY AND STRAIGHT -- WELCOME!


WHERE ARE THE MASSMATCHERS FROM?
Folks from Western MA and neighboring communities in parts of NY, CT, NH and VT who love my prices and my personal approach.

WHY JOIN?
Perhaps you are frustrated by Internet Dating and looking for a needle in a haystack. Or perhaps you wouldn't consider having your personal information all over the Internet. The cost of personal ads really add up, and going to a bar doesn't seem like a good idea. Friends often don't want to get involved.

If you want to find people chosen for you, who are who they say they are, and who are really ready to meet you and are not playing games, join Mass Match. I try to give you matches that make sense for you and your preferences and not waste your precious time.

If you want someone to talk to about dating, I am here as much as you like. You aren't in the Infamous Internet Black Hole.

Bud and I met through a Dating Service so we understand what it's like. We know you are busy like we were. And you want a service you can afford, more affordable even than Internet Dating.

Look: WHEN IT COMES TIME TO INVEST, YOU CALL A BROKER. WHEN YOU WANT TO BUY A HOUSE, YOU CALL AN AGENT. WHEN IT COMES TIME TO FIND THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE, DON’T GO IT ALONE. HAVE US MAKE THE PROCESS OF FINDING YOUR PERFECT MATCH SIMPLE, FUN AND SUCCESSFUL. So....

HOW DOES IT WORK?

1. You sign up online. Most people choose the Meet the Matchmaker Plan.
2. Don't agonize over the simple form because you and I will go over it all together and lots more when we meet. I'll get to know you and your preferences.
3. You will answer 5 more fun questions about yourself.
4. With your client number and pasword you will then be able to see the profiles and photos of matches I have chosen just for you.
5. You will arrange coffee meetings with your matches and I will be available throughout the whole process to coach you and help you as much or as little as you want.

It's as simple as that. Our clients are who they say they are. And they are ready to meet the right person for them.

I look forward to meeting you and finding you the Right one!

SOMETIMES PEOPLE ASK ME: "WHY DO WE SIGN UP FOR A YEAR AND NOT A MONTH AT A TIME?" The answer is: the few times we let people do it by the month, they didn't take it seriously. You want to know and be assured that Mass Matchers are ready for a relationship. They are all on the same page. And clients love the idea of meeting different people, taking it slowly, settling into the process and not rushing, and making good healthy decisions for themselves.

We Want to Find You The Right One, Not Just Anyone

Because Bud and I met though a dating service and got married, we want to provide the folks in our area a local, respectful and very affordable way to meet that special someone too!

We believe that bringing people together by fostering the beginnings of healthy romantic relationships is an important individual and community service.

I really like "Tim" and haven't heard from him in two weeks now. I'm worried that he's another guy who I like who doesn't like me. Should I call him and let him know I'm interested or would that be too forward? Should I wait for him to call me? I'm very attracted to him and thought that we had a lot in common. I could easily love "Tim" and feel worried that I could be possibly lettting another love slip out of my life. I am worried about making the wrong move after so much bad luck and I am soooo ready to meet someone special and get engaged by the end of the year. I'm hoping the year ends better than it started.

Hi Joanie,
Please, please....you must not come from a desperate place. Even I can pick up on it. Remember what you have to offer and don't get fixated on another's opinion of you. If there is something fun you can do with "Tim," sure, it is okay to give him a call. Or maybe you need him to help you with something....
But the important thing is your attitude and confidence. You will be fine even if he isn't interested in you. Go rent a movie like Mona Lisa Smile and get in touch with your feminine power.
Nothing is more a turn-off than a sense of desperation, and having an agenda for getting engaged or married by a certain time is not healthy and will backfire. Love doesn't fit into a time - table.
Go about your life with confidence, believe that it will happen when the time is ripe....but make sure you are involved in activities you enjoy and have friends that are fun to be with. And that will make you more attractive to others.
Take Care,

Lanie

Dating Tip of the Day

Avoid sexual innuendos on first meetings and dates as well as suggestiveness. And don't dress too sexily or provocatively. Not too much personal sharing.

Tip of the Day for Joining a Dating Service

If you are nervous, remember so are most people. But if your heart is ready and open, you have much to gain in terms of getting to know yourself better, getting acquainted or reacquainted with dating at your own pace -- and ultimately maybe finding that special someone. Loneliness is at the root of many of our troubles. It sure was mine. Nudge the universe. Know how brave you are!
In March I had met Monica for dinner after we connected through Mass Match and immediately hit it off. I am very happy to say that on October 28th, 2005 we were married and life could not be better. Thank you for your service.

I met someone wonderful through your fine service. Lanie's moral support and encouragement helped me during the dating process. I have been having a wonderful time since I've met him. Thank you, Lanie!
Cindy, 37, Springfield Ma
Hi Lanie,
I saw your letter in the Republican and just wanted to thank you for providing the dating service that led me to Jack. Fifteen months after our first meeting (in which I was, actually, pretty much swept off my feet), we are so happy together, now living in a house we just purchased in Westfield. I agree with the author Joan Didion, whom you refer to, that "fate and luck" aren't what make a love affair work out. At 59, I know how much a role intentionality plays. Still, I feel lucky that you sent Jack my way.
Best wishes,
Kathy, Westfield Ma
Dear Lanie,
I wanted to thank you profusely, for the wonderful miracle that Massmatch created in my life, connecting me to my fiancee and soulmate, Lynne. We had our initial coffee date early last March, became engaged in July, and will be married in October. The timing was perfect, as I was just about to publish my book, "Attention Late Bloomers: You're Right On Time!" (available on Amazon.com, by the way), and was able to include her in the book's dedications. Under the author photo, which Lynne took, I wrote that, as a "late bloomer" myself, I found my true love in my 50's.

I want to encourage all the "late bloomers" out there that it is possible, not just to find a match, but the RIGHT match in middle age and later in life! We are VERY happy together, and wish you and your Massmatch clients, all the joy in the world.
