I signed up for eight at eight in hopes of finding a really nice guy. Online dating wasn t cutting it so I want to give matchmaking a chance. I thought for sure a matchmaker could guide me in the right direction and find a match hopefully. I was so excited about the exipirence. Basically you pay lump some of money in the beginning and they cover 6 matchmaking dinners(meals are not included just the first drink) . The dinners are supposed to be set up based on interest and compatibility. That is not the case. They basically set you up by age. Not sure how it is with the older participants but if your in your twenties earlier thirties that s usually the only common thing just age. If you are in your twenties and a female I would not recommend this unless you are hoping to make new girlfriends. After a couple of dinners the ladies at the table would discuss how disappointed we were after each dinner and how no one really matched. Communication wasn t ever really good either no one ever reached out to see how I felt about how it was going even though I filled out a survey. There was also a list that some females could be put on for free to be matched potentially one on one when i asked i got got no response. I guess i didn t cut it ? I really was excited about trying this experience and gave it a fair chance I went on 5 dinners and they were all disappointing In terms of finding a match . I did walk away with some new girlfriends. I didn t feel like it was matchmaking just young single people who paid to sit at a table together. This review is only based on the eight at eight dinners not the one on one matchmaking. One thing I can say is that some of the staff at the dinners were very nice! Jessica was my favorite host.
