Trying Something New - Match Making

 When you are on these dating apps you realize that people who are on one are on multiple, just like I am. Even though I swipe left some people come back to my rotation, sometimes weeks after, but sometimes 5 swipes later. I have decided to reach out to a matching service after multiple friends have told me to look into it. One friend suggested I reach out to a service called Match Me Canada (www.matchmecanada.ca). I looked at their website, they are located in the financial district in Toronto, which  is a good sign seeing so rent is super high. I equate that to them being successful. They do not have pricing on their website, so I had to schedule a call to see what they were all about.

I spoke with Rebecca who is a match maker and she informed me what the service was all about. They have a coaching staff and people who research to find mates, one thing I like about this is that you can get feedback, which is something you cannot get on a dating app. For instance, I thought my date with Mr. Hakka (click on link to read about my date) went well but he hasn't messaged since our date. So, I am guessing it didn't go well for him or he didn't find me attractive, the ambiguity confuses me.

I am definitely interested in this service, they have a 3 month, 6 month, and 12 month program. They

encourage the 3 month program because a.) it's the cheapest and, b.) they say they find a match pretty early on. They have a 70% success rate.... BUT... one of my issue is that I want to get new rims and caliper for my car... sigh.. what do I do??? I mean how sexy is that (---->, please not this is not my car, but this is the look that I want)? I don't plan on getting a new car anytime soon, and I really really what that look for my car; I consider my car, my baby. My car is a 2012 Honda Civic SI in white, this was my first big purchase after getting a real job out of university. I guess the question is where do my priorities lie? Is it really dating and finding love? Do I want to invest that much money on something that is not guaranteed? Or do I settle for instant gratification that will be me joy for a few months? At this point I can't decide, I told them I needed some time to think about it. 

Don't get me wrong, I do want to find love and settle down, but the question is how much am I willing to spend and is it worth it?! I had a disaster experience on eharmony, which was a complete waste of my money. Will I have the same experience? Rebecca said that on eharmony, even when you discontinue their services, your profile still remains up there. That is why when I was messaging men, they weren't messaging me back! Sigh.. hopefully in a few months I will update my readers on what I have decided!

I don't  know what it is about this pandemic, perhaps it's boredom, but I have been willing to go on more dates, even though I have gain about 20 pounds after gaining 40 initially! I figure if they can like me with my pandemic weight, they really like me for who I am.  Specs: Asian Works for a weed company in Hamilton Used to write jingles Lives in mid-town in a condo, his brother and parents live in the same building Drives a X2 He has a J name, it's actually one of my favourite names I am not sure if all women do this, but when I am excited about a date, I will eat less the night before that way I am not bloated the next day, and give myself a facial that way my face looks refreshed. During this pandemic, my skin has been going through some horrible shit, I have broken out many times due to the sun. This time the night before I gave myself a facial Dermologica Hydration mask, drank lots of water, and I worked out. I ordered a dress online from H&M that I have deemed a...

Slowly Being Ghosted??

 Not too sure what happened after date 3.. He was all of a sudden a lot busier.. didn't message as much. I sort of understood where he was coming from.. He doesn't trust his trainers so I guess he has taken on more clients, considering he charges $250/hour that goes straight to his pockets. We were supposed to go on date 4 on Thursday because on Friday, I was going to Chicago.... but he had messaged Thursday afternoon to tell me he's not in a condition to meet up and have a conversation.. and slowly.. the messages are far and in between... sus? We were still chatting here and there, since I lost bowling, I owed him a facial. I didn't want to take him to a $200 facial that I've been wanting to try and I didn't want to take him to a facial place where I didn't know their standards. So, I asked him if he wanted to go to a facial or see Tina Turner musical. He said definitely the musical. I went a head a purchased the tickets for $300 (both). But because of his ...
