Interview Questions & Answers
Get to Know Your Matchmaker
“How did you become a matchmaker?”
“My background in psychology and passion for helping others find love naturally led me to matchmaking.”
"Can you describe your matchmaking style?"
“I am intentional, intuitive, and values-driven. I like to talk to everyone to understand the why behind their story, so I can support them on a deeper level.”
"What’s the one question you ask matchmaking clients to narrow down their must-haves in a potential partner?"
“We’ll be looking for many traits, but if you had to pick the three most important ones, what would they be?”
"Is there a corresponding question or answer you are looking for from matches that clarifies they may be a good match for your client?"
“For me, it comes down to intuition and personality. I also ask both people about the traits and qualities they are seeking and look for alignment in their values.”
"What is the best conversation starter you’ve ever used or received?"
“If your life had chapters, what would you call the current one?”
"What is something that you wish more people asked on first dates?"
“What are your passions?
“What do you think increases the likelihood of a second date?”
“The conversation flows easily with moments of laughter or vulnerability. Both people ask thoughtful questions, showing genuine interest. There is physical or energetic chemistry, even if subtle. Most importantly, there is a moment of real connection beyond polite company.”
“What is a small dating gesture that instantly makes you feel appreciated?”
“Thoughtfulness. Knowing you’re on someone’s mind means a lot—whether it’s playing their favorite song, walking down a street they love, or remembering something they mentioned in conversation.”
"If someone is debating whether to use a matchmaker, how do you guide them?"
“I get curious and ask questions like: Are you clear on what you're looking for in a partner? Are you tired of dating apps or random meetups that go nowhere? Do you value quality over quantity? Are you ready for a serious relationship? These answers help reveal whether matchmaking is the right next step.”
"How do you vet or screen potential matches?"
“Through in-depth interviews and intuition. I take the time to really understand who someone is—beyond just the basics.”
"What is the key quality someone should look for in a matchmaker?"
“Empathy and strong intuition. You want someone who truly understands people—not just on paper, but emotionally and energetically. A great matchmaker listens deeply, understands your values and personality, and reads between the lines to match you with someone who fits your life, not just your wishlist.”
"How do you know when it is time to introduce a new match to your client?"
“When I feel genuinely excited about the match. I speak with many people who may seem like a ‘maybe’, but if I’m not feeling that spark of confidence, I know my client won’t either. I trust that excitement as it's usually a sign of strong potential.”
"Do you specialize in a particular type of client or relationship goal?"
“I work with clients across all ages, focusing on long-term relationships, marriage, and finding a life partner.”
"What is your favorite thing about being a matchmaker?"
“I love helping people step outside their comfort zones and realize just how much bigger those boundaries really are.”
