My first impression of the matchmaker was that she was someone with whom I’d be friends. She was friendly, welcoming, and eased me right into the process when I was hesitant to walk inside her office. She offered me water and told me to get comfy. I had been to a therapist before, so at first, this process felt very similar. The first question required me to open up and tell her who I was, what my dating issues were, and what I was looking for. The first two parts of that question came out easy. I explained that I’m a 20-something entrepreneur who doesn’t believe in work-life balance, and that’s precisely what I believe my dating issues were. The last part, however, was what we spent the next 45 minutes deciding.
