Matchmaking is the process of bringing or linking two prospective soulmates together. It has been in existence for a long time but a lot of people hope not to discover love through this route. Some people prefer to engage in matchmaking quietly and may tend to reveal their relationships only when successful. To be honest, there is nothing wrong with matchmaking as a route to love but just like everything else in the world, it has its pros and cons.

PROS

Convenience 

It is very convenient; whether you are doing it online, or leaving it to the hands of a professional matchmaker. You can also date someone in another city or country. 

Top Selection

You get to choose the profile of your dream partner from the long list of partners that will be placed before you.

Variety Of Options

You get to have unlimited access to a wide range of people you never would have met in person, and your matchmaker will sift through and get you the perfect match. 

Preliminary Information

You do not have to be worried about being nervous and timid because you and your match already have information about each other from the matchmaker so it will be very easy to ease into the conversation when you both meet.

Safety

There is some sort of guaranteed safety because you do not have to worry about being attacked by your date as the matchmaker or dating site would have done a lot of necessary background checks.

CONS

Expenses

Outsourcing your dating life can be quite expensive as the matchmaking company gets to do the job that you do not want to.

False Profile

The person can be all lies when you finally get to know them for who they are. Many people put out false profiles online thereby leaving you with the dirty work of finding out who they are. 

Proximity

If there is a huge distance between you and your partner, the absence of physical closeness will be felt.

Wasted Resources

There might be a huge case of wasted resources because you can go through all the profiles provided to you and not like them when you finally meet them.

Easy Access

Matchmaking gives room for someone stealing the identity of another person to get to you. Especially someone who knows that you are making use of matchmaking services.

All the cons are not aimed at dissuading you from matchmaking services; it is for you to be careful when you do.
