What a difference an internet makes

What a difference an internet makes: in only a few years, dating services – once reserved for people lacking social skills – have become the preferred way for frantic financiers and time-poor property developers to benefit from an updated version of the arranged marriage. VICTORIA COHEN marvels at the modern matchmakers playing the oldest game around.

We are entering the age of the Personal Dating Agent. We are bored of smooching around in taxis and working out the details later. We’re ready to try it the other way round: starting with compatibility, and getting to the sex bit afterwards. Speed dating and internet dating  have torn the stigma away from ‘being fixed up’ and have put matchmaking back on the public agenda. But, even with these methods, you’re stuck with trusting your own judgement and taking your chances alone. The people who are really Taking It Seriously are paying top dollar to put the whole business in the hands of an experienced and canny caretaker.

What the press say!
