Due to Hollywood, we all have this programmed expectation that if there is a spark, then he/she could be the one. Not really arguing with that one but the contrary is what I disagree with; if there is no spark, then there is no hope and no point? What is the "spark"? Really, what does it mean? It can mean numerous things for different people. It can be a solely sexual attraction, or it can be a soul-enriching feeling that someone understands you. Either way, it leads to somet

This is probably the one that most don’t want to read because many of us will have undoubtedly said or done some of these things on a first date and lived to regret it. So, to get the ball rolling, how is this one for size... “You look different from your profile picture!” However, if you are using a matchmaking service like Intro NW, you will know that the profile pictures are accurate. A quick, but true story. Electra and I were cast as a kissing couple back in March 2014.

A few of the most asked questions I get from women who have met someone new and just started out dating are: How can I tell if he’s into me or not? Can I trust him? Is he a player keeping me dangling on a string? Is he seeing other women? Finding love can be difficult these days but it doesn’t have to be once you know how to spot the signs early on, discovering quickly whether he’s really into you or not. But how do you know what the signs to look out for are? You see, I see

So we have all been there at the start of the dating game or as my mother would call it “courting”, when it’s all very exciting and is often referred to as the “honeymoon period”. For those of you who have been successfully matched using Intro NW, you may be ready to take the next steps of moving in together or may even be getting engaged! However, there are some people who have unfortunately been stung financially when separating or divorcing from their ex and it’s wise to l

This 90 second video outlines the main drawbacks of online dating and how INTRO addresses these issues. #onlinedating #personalintroductionagency #likemindedpeople #relationship #single #partner #Intro #Cheshire #Manchester

Oxforddictionaries.com define online dating as “the practice of searching for a romantic or sexual partner on the Internet, typically via a dedicated website” ... Interesting choice of words for a definition; but best to lay out what we are going to explore. Compared to “A service that arranges introductions for people seeking romantic partners” again oxforddictionaries.com defining Introduction Agencies. This is precisely what we are going to look at… What is the difference

Anniversaries are supposed to be a celebration of the love between two partners. It's not just a marriage thing; it's a human thing. Not belittling any who is married - I'm getting married next year, and I am looking forward to it. Fundamentally though, anniversaries are a true celebration. My personal opinion is that anniversaries are the most important (of all important) annual events. It is a chance to focus on, reflect and appreciate our time together, the friendship, the

You only get one chance to make a great first impression. Unfortunately, so many men are clueless about what they should be wearing when they are out dating. If you get it wrong on a first date then you’re unlikely to ever get a second. Just because you feel comfortable in t-shirts and trainers doesn’t mean you should wear then when you meet someone. Your clothes are the biggest indication of your social standing. If you dress like someone who is going places then it will

What was the first album you bought? Tell me about your friends. Asking them something that’s not directly about themselves, might make them feel more comfortable. Invite 5 people – dead or alive – to a dinner party, who would they be and why? A great ice-breaker. What’s your favourite thing about your home town? What’s on your bucket list? Get a sneak peep into their dreams! What’s your favourite holiday? Are they a sun worshiper who loves lying on a beach or do they pref

For me, dating has always been scary. I was always capable of conversation and enjoying common interests but due to my inability to say, “I like you, do you want to go out sometime?” always landed me in the friends’ zone. In my later years, I still struggled with the first step of showing that I am (more than) a nice guy and saying or showing that I want to be your guy. That’s me though, and things I have done in my life (and not done) have made me the kind of person I am tod

Our recent survey asked men, both single and in a relationship, for their views on modern dating and it shows that they value the services of a personal introductions agency over online dating. 85% said that they believe people lie on their online profile. This really causes problems as internet dating agencies rely on algorithms to match their members - algorithms are great but only if the profiles are accurate in the first place. Perhaps not surprising in today's busy worl
