This is a personal matching service offered by Janet from Singles Socials. All the magic happens in the real world. So how does it work and what exactly do we offer? We offer three different types of personal matching memberships, in all three we will find you your ideal type of person, based on your wants and needs, not what a Dating App thinks you might like. We listen to your thoughts, ideals and dreams and do our best to turn these into your reality. You just need to be totally honest about you and a little open minded on what you are looking for. We take this information and a profile is created. We then look to match your wants and needs with other clients on our private database. We use a software called Smart Match to hold this data and streamline this process – taking us from the old-fashioned Excel Spread sheet into the very real modern world. This means we can offer a more competitive price for what is a very personal service. The membership packages and prices are all at the bottom of this page.
What it’s not
It’s not you sitting there looking through lots of profiles, approaching people to be ignored or ghosted. It’s not endless messaging only to be blocked with no clue, it’s not about photo’s that are ten years old or even worse totally fake accounts & scammers. It’s about modern dating with those old-fashioned values.
Who is on this database?
Real people, these maybe people who have been on Singles Socials events or found us on social media or been referred to us via a past client or member. We check their identity and always match sure that the person is that person. Singles Socials Founder Janet takes care of this aspect personally; she would have either met them at an event or an arranged one to one meet. This may be in person or via Zoom/WhatsApp. This is to ensure that they are who they say they are & their ID matches their profile. This also ensures photo’s are not ten years old! Is your data secure & private? Absolutely, we share your data only with potential clients you have matched with or with other professional matchmakers ensuring we bring the best potential matches for you. We never sell or share your personal data with any third parties. See our data/GDPR policy.
How do you ensure those old fashioned values?
We have a code of conduct; members agree to this before we agree to take them on as a client. Personal matchmaking is not Online or App dating, the rules are different. For example, Ghosting or just not replying and other behaviour which shows a lack of courtesy is not acceptable. If you do not wish to pursue a contact, date etc please just reply stating you do not wish to pursue things any further. There is no need to give further explanation. Good manners costs nothing. Likewise, if you are on the receiving end, as sometimes we all are, do not take it personally or demand a reason. Simply wish the person well and let us know your still available to date. Rejection happens to us all – it’s character building!
What sets us apart from online dating?
Less risky – We personally check the ID of each person before they are approved. This avoids the fake/scammers which favour online dating. And of course our code of conduct, which each member agrees to uphold. You have the option to meet them at a Singles Socials event. If you meet somebody at a Single Social event and they are not on our database as matching clients, we will make the approach for you. We encourage minimal phone messaging and to get out and meet for a coffee or a walk in the real world as soon as possible. We have all spent endless time messaging someone only to find when we met them there was nothing we had in common. So we actively discourage lengthy messaging and encourage meeting in the real world. Afterall the point of joining a dating service is to actually date. We offer you dating advise such as – ask questions and really listen to the answers. Try not to judge a person on your internal check list on what you think you want. Check lists other than the post date eight (ask us about this!) are to be avoided at all costs.
How do I start?
Fill in the information form, supply as little or as much information as you want, the more we know about you the better! Janet will then be in touch to arrange a phone call for to explain fully what we do and for you to ask questions. Should you want to proceed we move onto the next step… Want to just chat things through before going any further? Got a question? Just contact Janet via the contact form and she will be in touch or call her on 07510 803385 (Normal Office Hours)
You will get the chance to add some more details to your profile, basic information, like age, height, characteristics and of course your preferences and so on. Assuming your not part of the Singles Socials network already this information gives us the basic details so we know your in the demographic we serve. If Janet has not already met you the next step is to arrange a meeting, this is a chance to really get to know you and what you are looking for in your ideal partner. This can be in person, via zoom or even WhatsApp.
We will then request to see your ID – This will be photo ID, like a passport or driving licence. We will then review and accept your application providing it’s within our demographic and we are confident we can offer you a good service.
Only after we have accepted your application and made our checks will you be asked to part with any money. How much does this personal service cost? Less that spending months on a dating App, paying for extra’s like premium, roses and boosting! People invest in homes, cars, holidays and even personal trainers. Yet they leave the most important things to chance – finding someone to share a life with. Some online dating sites charge £50 a month for browsing profiles which haven’t been validated, could be fake and most of the time you never meet the person. If you are using free online sites well, dare we say it but perhaps you get what you pay for! Whereas we deal with real people who are open to dating and looking for long term relationship, not just pen pals

This package is totally bespoke and agreed with each client to suit the clients requirements and what the agency feels it can successful deliver.

We specify the number of matches* in your membership agreement and will guarantee you at least that number. We may offer you more matches depending on how open you are to meeting recommendations. This will also depend on your characteristics and on how narrow or otherwise your preferences are in a partner.
*A match is a person who fits most of your criteria and vice versa.
Can you guarantee I will find the love of my life?
In short, no. In fact no dating or matchmaking service can offer you that guarantee.
What we do guarantee is that we will match you with suitable single members who we have met and enjoy working with. It is up to you to decide whether you go on a date with them. We can’t force people to go on dates, as some people aren’t always as open as we would like. What we will say though is that you need to trust us as this is what we do every day and we are good at it.
It’s well researched and documented that there is no sense of compatibility between people unless they actually meet face to face. Reading a profile is not the right time or place to make that judgement. We only suggest you have a short first date over coffee or a glass of wine. So you have nothing to lose by meeting who we recommend and potentially a life partner to gain.
