  255.  
  256.  
  257.  
  258. <p>Do you find yourself rushing into relationships too fast because you don&#8217;t like the feeling of loneliness? </p>
  259.  
  260.  
  261.  
  262. <p> Perhaps you have left a long marriage or a relationship that has left you feeling flat or you feel you have lost yourself&#8230; </p>
  263.  
  264.  
  265.  
  266. <p>Have you been out of the dating scene for a while, focusing on your career or family and find yourself wanting a relationship but not sure if you are actually ready? </p>
  267.  
  268.  
  269.  
  270. <p>Online dating or dating sites are not working for you, but you cant put your finger on why? </p>
  271.  
  272.  
  273.  
  274. <p>Lets take a step back and reflect. Ask yourself&#8230; Am I actually the person I want to be, am I happy? Your aim is to confidently answer YES! </p>
  275.  
  276.  
  277.  
  278. <p>Become the person you want to be, before embarking on a new relationship. </p>
  279.  
  280.  
  281.  
  282. <p><em><strong>Allow your future partner see the real you, not the version of yourself you want to be</strong>.</em></p>
  283.  
  284.  
  285.  
  286. <p>Applying all, one or more of these suggestions to your life,  may assist you in becoming the person you want to be, and attract the type of person you want to attract&#8230;. and keep them!   </p>
  287.  
  288.  
  289.  
  290. <p>An important part of the <a href="http://www.onamatchmaking.com.au">O N A Matchmaking</a> program, something online dating sites don&#8217;t offer,  is our self reflective questionnaires which prepare our clients for the dating stages of their journey, it also assists our clients in ways to find inner happiness and understand what they value in a relationship. </p>

  509.  
  510.  
  511.  
  512. <p>O N A Matchmaking offers a truly personal service tailored to your needs and wants.</p>
  513.

  529.  
  530.  
  531.  
  532. <p>You no longer have to spend countless evenings scrolling through profiles, hoping someone might be the one for you. The matchmaker finds suitable candidates, saves them in a database, and presents them to you as they become available. This saves hours of valuable time that can be spent with friends or family, work, or enjoying your personal activities.</p>
  533.  
  534.

  537.  
  538.  
  539.  
  540. <p>Matchmakers help you figure out what you really want in a partner and what works for you. This is because you get to take the time to focus on what matters most to you and not waste time on things that don’t. </p>
  541.  
  542.  
  543.  
  544. <p>For example, if one of your deal breakers is that your potential partners should enjoy travel or be financially independent, then a matchmaker can search through their database based on this criteria so that they can find someone who matches your preferences.</p>
  545.  
  546.  
  547.  
  548. <p>The matchmakers at O N A Matchmaking also focus on what you can bring to a relationship and what areas of your life can be improved. We help you become the best possible person to partner with!</p>

  553.  
  554.  
  555.  
  556. <p>If you want to meet someone who is a good match for you, finding that person through a matchmaker is the way to go. A good matchmaker will help you find someone who has the same interests and values as you, so that when you meet in person, it feels like fate. </p>
  557.  
  558.  
  559.  
  560. <p>Matchmakers have access to a range of people who may share similar interests and values, which makes your dating pool exponentially larger than if you were going at it on your own (or even with an online dating app).</p>
  561.  
  562.  
  563.  
  564. <p class="has-primary-color has-text-color"><strong>Your matchmaker does the research and groundwork for you</strong></p>
