I rate the company 4 stars but my matchmaker, Lisa Gunnett, 5 stars. She has been exceptionally kind and helpful throughout this long journey, Lisa suggested that I go on two breaks from the program due to some very difficult health issues. One involved ligaments wrapped around my S1 nerve affecting my ability to walk, the second was losing about 80% of my voice due to intubation during that surgery. I had one man agree to meet me, then cancel within 15 minutes because he told Lisa that he couldn’t understand a word I said. I was very disheartened because it counted as one of my matches. Lisa explained things carefully along the way in a way that was easy to understand. She tried very hard to follow my preferences. I enjoyed her sense of humor. Lisa showed great empathy when a match didn’t go well, and tried to give me some pointers to increase my chances of success. I felt like she really cared about me and my feelings. One time I told her that I felt like things didn’t go well, and she offered to call the man I met to ask him his perspective about the date. Sure enough he told her that he wished me well but that I wasn’t a good match for him. Another man decided that it was way too far for him to drive to date me. None of these situations were under my sweet matchmaker’s control. Lisa listened each time and gave me a lot of encouragement to keep trying. She almost felt at times like a big sister coaching me along, rooting for me from the sidelines. These are just a few of the reasons why I have appreciated my matchmaker’s (Lisa Gunnett) efforts!
