Dealbreakers and Preferences

—

One of the most important aspects of matchmaking is understanding the clients’ dealbreakers and preferences. If you don’t know what you want, how can we introduce you to the right person!? 🙂

But you don’t need a matchmaker to understand yourself. Download my DEALBREAKERS & PREFERENCES worksheet and do it by yourself to better understand what are your needs and wants.

However, there is one big caveat: Once you have completed your list of preferences and dealbreakers, you must choose your top three non-negotiables.

This is not easy but it is a vital step if you want to be realistic about your search for a Significant Other (SO) because if you have more than three criteria you make it statistically impossible to find someone who meets them all.

If you believe there is no way you can limit your non-negotiables to three then you must ask yourself, “What am I trying to achieve by insisting my SO is xyz?” Will xyz make a difference to the success of your relationship? If the answer is YES, then you must commit to forgoing other qualities. Choose wisely!
