WHAT WE FOUND: MFully screen members. 22 years of successful introductions. Exclusive selection of singles in your city. Personalized and confidential service. All members are prescreen by them, including a background check for safety. Their matchmakers match based on compatibility and core values. You will receive a personal matchmaker and confidant with whom you can consult on a one-to-one basis.
At LifeMates they start with compatibility first and foremost. They match you with people with whom you share similar lifestyles, attitudes, values and goals to ensure that your relationship will have a solid foundation that goes deeper than just chemistry and attraction. This will improve your chances of having a long-lasting relationship.
You will receive introductions to new, per-qualified matches every 30 to 45 days or less. Your encounter begins with an introductory phone call to discuss the details of where and when you are going to meet. After your first date, LifeMates will ask for your feedback, and in return, offer their suggestions which may be helpful to you. At the same time they evaluate your comments to better select your next match.
Additionally, if your first date went reasonably well, LifeMates recommends that you meet for two or three more dates. Although you are meeting people with whom you share common values, it may take some time to get to know if your relationship has potential.
The LifeMates starts with a potential Member calling an Information Specialist and making an appointment for an interview with a Program Director, or by completing the initial Member profile form on their site.
An Information Specialist will setup an appointment for you to visit with a Program Director at an Elite Personal Search office near you. The interview process is an in-depth evaluation where you decide if an Elite Personal Search Membership makes sense for you.
After becoming a member of LifeMates you can expect the following:
• A private consultation where you will meet with your personal Matchmaker. At this consultation your Matchmaker will get to know you better and will develop an understanding of the special qualities and personality you seek.
• Next, the matchmaking process will begin and you will receive instructions about connecting with the unique and exciting people that you will be introduced to. You will be matched with individuals that are balanced and counter balanced with your Key Core Compatibility Analysis TM as well as your physical criteria, personality requirements, hobbies, interests and much, much more.
• You will receive valuable feedback after each match in order to continually improve your dating experiences.
• As a LifeMates Member you will be in complete control of your Membership as you pre-approve each and every referral before they are sent to you.
