"...MAKE ME A MATCH"
Personal ads, singles dances, and the bar scene may work
for some singles, but for someone with marriage in mind, your
own matchmaker may provide a better alternative.
Old Fashioned Match Making Is Alive and Well!
Terry Brussel-Gibbons, a 4th generation matchmaker with a
BA in Psychology and a PH.D. in Clinical Hypnotherapy, is
the author of the unique combination of a workbook Matchmaker's
Corner: Choosing, Finding and Attracting a Life Mate and
a guided meditation CD Attract Your Special Someone as
well many other growth oriented tapes and books.
The matchmaking tradition has been carried on in Terry's family
since her great grandmother began it in Russia in the late 1800s.
She was a Shatkin very much like Yenta in Fiddler on the Roof.
She continued making matches when the family moved to Chicago
in 1890 as did her daughter Hannah Schneider when she came to
California in the early 1900s. In America, Terry's father
Barry Leon Brussel assisted with the Francis Dumont Social Club
(founded 1910) in the late 1940s. He met Terry's mother through
that service. Francis left the club to Mr. Brussel when she passed
on in 1967. Terry has been plying her trade as a matchmaker
since apprenticing under her father at age 16, just as her daughter
Regina apprenticed under her at the same age in 1989. Terry has
appeared on CBS News and Eye Witness News on Valentine’s
Day—with Matchmaker, Matchmaker from Fiddler on the Roof
playing in the background.
Contrary to the popular misconception that "only losers
have to pay for a date", selective, successful (and busy)
singles who are seeking a quality life mate are most frequently
the ones to hire a matchmaker.
When you meet a person at a singles event, all you know about
them initially is their name and appearance. You won't know,
probably for quite a while, if they are compatible with you or
not. And you won't know unless you ask the awkward question,
if they are truly interested in marriage.
The real problem in finding a match out there in the world is
that when you meet someone, you don't know who they are, what
their goals are in life, in business or in relationships. There
are many important issues that you wouldn't necessarily talk about
on the first few dates, which may mean this is not the person
you want to spend your life with. Your matchmaker would
know enough not to make such a match. There is much
private, personal data that the matchmaker comes to know about
a client that in normal hit or miss conversations you have no
way of finding out until you're well along in the relationship.
Perhaps, by then, some of your original requirements may not seem
as important because you've fallen in love. Later, when
some of the magic wears off and you're trying to live together,
some of the conditions you let pass may turn out to be essential
for a lasting relationship.
A matchmaker can offset negative partnering patterns. Hypnotherapy
can help, too, by actually changing those patterns through age
regression to the more positive ones which will be in alignment
with your objective knowledge of the kind of person whom you truly
want to spend your life. Your personal matchmaker
will introduce you to a selection of people who will be appropriate
for you rather than a selection of people who will continue to
mess up your life.
With the advent of the Internet, possibilities for finding that
perfect match are even more extensive and exciting. Of course,
through Marriage Minded your personal matchmaker would do all
screening involved in such matches. This provides the best of
both worlds.
Basically, a matchmaker is a great time saver. If your time is
valuable, you don't want to be spending your Saturday nights in
bars (or even singles events) trying to find somebody who might
be right for you. You certainly don't want to waste weeks or months
on a relationship which isn't going anywhere due to basic incompatibilities
you didn't discover early enough. Instead, you want to spend that
time with a person with whom you can share more lasting love delights...
Happy Valentine's Day-- your Life Mate awaits!
