Overpromising outcomes

No ethical matchmaker can guarantee marriage within a fixed timeline. Be cautious of absolute claims that ignore compatibility complexity.

Credible providers discuss probability, process discipline, and mutual effort.

If a provider cannot explain how candidates are qualified, filtered, and verified, match quality may be inconsistent.

Quality introductions require strong screening standards and documentation.

Without structured feedback, mistakes repeat across introductions. A reliable service should capture insights after every date and adjust quickly.

Look for teams that can explain how feedback changes matching decisions in practice.
