Question 1

What distinguishes Flagship Matchmaking from dating apps?

Accepted Answer

Unlike dating apps, Flagship Matchmaking is a highly personalized service built around real vetting, thoughtful compatibility, and dedicated guidance. We carefully examine the traits you're looking for in a partner and match you with the most appropriate person. We personally know our clients, and unlike dating sites and personal ads, there is minimal risk to you of lies or misrepresentation. Matchmakers also tend to attract a higher caliber of people. The application process helps screen out less desirable qualities so candidates can be red-flagged or removed. Many successful people are too busy working, traveling, and managing responsibilities to spend dedicated time searching for love. We do the searching and screening for you.

Question 2

How does your matchmaking process work?

Accepted Answer

We begin by learning what you want and need through an interview process, then we match you based on the traits and values you've shared. We also incorporate feedback from dates you've completed, and evaluate your case using established relationship principles and norms. If you're working with a broader Care Team (for example a coach, image consultant, therapist, etc.), their input can be used to support recommendations and help refine your matches.

Question 3

What is the YOU+ program?

Accepted Answer

YOU+ is our support program designed to provide clients with a roadmap and open discussion that leads them toward a happy and healthy marriage. It evolved from the repeated need to strengthen and inspire clients so they feel prepared to meet and build something real with their matches.

Question 4

How long does it typically take to find a compatible match?

Accepted Answer

It can take weeks or months. If you meet someone great on the first date, you could be engaged and married within a few months. Your matchmaker always works on your behalf with a sense of urgency, and new candidates are always being welcomed into our agency.

Question 5

What ongoing support do you provide after introductions?

Accepted Answer

Support can include coaching, preparation, and hands-on guidance to help your introductions turn into meaningful momentum. We interview and screen candidates so you don't have to. We discuss wants, needs, and personal characteristics, and we help you prepare for dates through ongoing communication (video chat, phone calls, emails). Many clients also benefit from date coaching: training and practical tools around conversation skills, social graces, personal appearance, and date planning.

Question 6

What is your service investment?

Accepted Answer

It may seem unusual to pay someone for an introduction, but Flagship Matchmaking does much more than that. We are professionals with years of experience and a strong success track record. We very carefully examine the traits you are looking for in a partner and match you with the most appropriate person. We have a large database of quality singles and we personally know our clients. An investment in our matchmaking service is an investment in a better, more fulfilling future.

Question 7

What is the difference between The Selective and The Catalyst memberships?

Accepted Answer

While both tiers offer our signature full-service professional matchmaking, The Catalyst is designed for clients who want to leave nothing to chance. It includes personalized coaching and training to navigate the complexities of modern dating, helping to bridge the gap between "meeting the right person" and "building a lasting relationship."

Question 8

I've used other services in the past and they have been a waste of time. I also have friends who have told me horror stories and were ripped off.

Accepted Answer

You will not be wasting your time, nor will you be ripped off. Just like there are poor doctors, lawyers, restaurants or matchmakers, there are also excellent ones making a positive contribution to society. Flagship Matchmaking is an established, reputable agency. We are convinced that when you meet us and experience how we run our business, you will trust your future happiness with us. Our members join Flagship Matchmaking because they want a commitment. When our clients take the time out of their busy lives to interview with us and then pay for membership, they are serious about finding a partner.

Question 9

How often will I be going on dates?

Accepted Answer

That's up to you. If you are compatible with our database of candidates, you will be meeting lots of people. You can be introduced to a new person every week of the year. If you set your standards very high and only want to meet a specific kind of person, it may take a little longer. You are in control of how many dates you have.

Question 10

What are the core values of your company?

Accepted Answer

Honor, Courage, and Commitment. These principles are an ever-present guide to Flagship as well our clients throughout the matchmaking process. It creates a nurturing environment where clients can grow into their best selves.

Question 11

Why do I need professional photography?

Accepted Answer

Everyone judges you on the photographs used in your profile. You make a better impression with higher quality photos. First impressions are very important during your dating journey. People's opinion of those who made the effort to get professional photography is more than twice as high as those who cropped a snapshot from another occasion. It presents you in the best possible light and shows other people what you think "looking your best" means.

Question 12

Can you get me a date for this weekend?

Accepted Answer

We are sorry to say that is not our specialty. We groom clients to meet, charm, and marry compatible partners. However, if clients are in the midst of our matchmaking process and one of our matches agrees to attend an event or romantic date on short notice, it is considered hasty, but not a hook-up. One of the many services we offer is date planning.

Question 13

Is this the right thing for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We address every situation relating to dating and romantic relationships. One client's father hired us to help his son with his dating life. Another hired us solely for a make-over but not for matching dates. That image upgrade success blossomed into a date coaching contract. Inspired by their success after a round of date coaching sessions, they asked us to become their matchmaker.

Question 14

What is a "Personal Development Mission"?

Accepted Answer

It is a comprehensive, daily plan that leads clients to love and happiness in their personal lives. It came from matchmaking client's requests for a roadmap to follow during their dating process. We formulated a long term solution for their growth and prosperity. Our "Personal Development Mission" is the core of our success. It gives our clients the tools and talents to live a happy and fulfilling life.

Question 15

What is your secret?

Accepted Answer

Transformation. We transform ambitious adults into attractive, smart, funny, sexy, love magnets. Clients become so irresistible that total strangers become enchanted after only a few minutes of knowing them.

Question 16

What is date coaching?

Accepted Answer

It consists of solutions for your romantic life. We set you up for success through training sessions about conversation skills, social graces, personal appearance, and date planning. We groom clients on a daily and weekly basis with tips to charm and entice matches. Our coaching sessions are filled with tools and inspirational messages clients embrace to thrive and flourish in the dating market.

Question 17

Why did you become a matchmaker?

Accepted Answer

Originally, matchmaking was one of the many services we offered at Stratford Concierge, an upscale property and lifestyle management company I started in 2008. A Concierge client asked me to begin searching for a new wife for him while he was in the midst of his divorce. I realized that I could make a difference in people's lives after watching my advice transform lives for the better. My successful guidance and mentorship were so helpful that I decided to serve the public as a matchmaker full-time.

Question 18

Are you really a Marine?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I enlisted in the Marine Corps the week after September 11th. I felt frustrated and threatened by the attacks. So, I gave up my career in catering to join the national defense. I did my whole contract in the Third Marine Division.

Question 19

Is Flagship Matchmaking private and discreet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We don't disclose information until it is time for you to meet someone in person. Even then, you only get their first name and a way to identify them at your meeting place. We don't tell people your last name, phone, email, address, or chat handle.

Question 20

What are my responsibilities?

Accepted Answer

Get ready for your new life. This is a turning point in your life. We ask clients to be introspective, sensitive, and cooperative. The Personal Development Mission is a program that was developed because of client requests. It prepares you to thrive and succeed in dating and relationships.

Question 21

Who uses your service?

Accepted Answer

Currently, the majority of clients are men, early thirties through sixties, from Silicon Valley, cannabis, finance, and blockchain industries. They understand that a specialist such as a matchmaker can be trusted to produce better results in their romantic life just as specialists do in their work life. Flagship proudly serves the straight and gay communities equally.

Question 22

Why do you prefer cryptocurrency?

Accepted Answer

It is the technology of the future. It is quick, easy, secure, and convenient. I accept as payment for contracts: Nano, NEO, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Monero, and EOS.
