The Chance to Love Once Again

Dating at this stage of life is a sensitive matter, and the process is personal to each individual. Embracing the opportunity to connect with someone on a profound level once more can be an incredibly affirming experience, but requires a deep awareness and respect for your emotions and grieving process. 

For many, this experience can feel fraught with trepidation or hesitancy. The landscape of dating in cities like NYC, Los Angeles, and San Francisco can shift to become almost unrecognizable, making it difficult to know where to start. By working with an executive matchmaker like Maclynn, the dating process unfolds with respect for your privacy and personal needs, empathetically lighting the way to a new partnership only when you feel ready.

Why Might Bespoke Matchmaking Be Right for Me?

If you feel you might be ready to welcome romantic love back into your life, but are not sure how to begin, working with an exclusive matchmaker could be right for you. Our matchmakers across the USA will blend psychological acumen with matchmaking expertise, not only guiding you towards a compatible match but also helping you acknowledge and work through your past experiences, putting you in the best position to rediscover the dating world.

With a professional matchmaker at your side, you set the pace for your approach to dating. Your membership will be conducted with the utmost confidentiality and discretion; your personal profile will never be shared beyond your assigned matchmaker, and every introduction will be carefully vetted.

How Our Matchmaking Process Works for Widows

At the beginning of your 6-12 month membership with Maclynn, you will be assigned a dedicated matchmaker who will become more like a close friend or confidante. With regular contact and support throughout, they will guide you through our 5-step methodology, designed to help both you and them recognise your values, goals, and ambitions.

The first 3 stages of your Maclynn membership will focus on exploring your core values and beliefs, the qualities you seek in your ideal match, and how you envision your next relationship. With this information, your matchmaker will be equipped to build a bespoke plan to find compatible matches. They will encourage you to date mindfully and with purpose, offering advice and guidance that acknowledges your feelings and emotions throughout the process.
