If you’re feeling discouraged with endless swiping on dating apps or struggling to meet new people in the Iowa dating scene, you’re not alone.
It can be really hard to stumble upon someone who shares your interests and has the same relationship goals that you have. And for those of us living in Iowa, there are a few unique challenges including:
- Navigating the rural-urban divide – With much of Iowa being rural, those living in smaller towns may find it difficult to meet new people, while those in cities like Des Moines may still experience a more close-knit, limited dating pool.
- Balancing traditional Midwestern values – Iowa’s strong ties to conservative, family-oriented values can sometimes clash with modern dating practices, creating challenges in finding someone with compatible relationship goals.
- Dealing with extreme weather – Iowa’s hot summers and freezing winters can limit outdoor date options and affect the ability to engage in year-round social activities.
Hiring a Matchmaker eliminates these frustrations and gives you a faster, better way to find your perfect match. Unlike apps and traditional dating methods, a professional Matchmaker offers a personalized approach to meeting quality singles who are also looking for committed relationships.
Our Matchmakers support you through every step of the matching and dating process.
Your dates will be hand-selected based on your interests and goals: you’ll only be introduced to singles who we strongly feel could become your life partner. We also help you navigate each stage of your new relationship so you can put your best foot forward and feel confident every step of the way.
Clients can expect everything from conversation starters and style advice to date planning and feedback to increase your chances of success.
