MATCHMAKINGMOMS.COM:
NEW ONLINE DATING COMMUNITY OFFERING
‘MOTHER KNOWS BEST’ APPROACH FOR TODAY’S
SINGLE
Putting real life human interaction into online
dating with mom, the most trusted source, to find
a date for single sons and single daughters (www.matchmakingmoms.com)
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (August 28, 2006) – MatchmakingMoms.com
is a new online dating community built on the trust
of ‘mom’ to candidly network to find
a partner for their loved ones. It is a unique online
dating service where mom, not the dater, becomes
a
member to create the profile for their single son
or single daughter, search for matches, and set
up dates all on their adult child’s behalf.
There are no personality tests or computerized simulation
- just real life human interaction. Moms love to
brag about their children’s best attributes,
and her opinion is usually the most trusted. After
all, mother knows best.
MatchmakingMoms.com was founded by Dawn Miller,
a thirty-something single woman whose experiences
in the world of online dating, set-ups, blind dates
and eventfocused networking was shaped in part,
by her mom’s hope to end her single status.
The savvy entrepreneur often joked with her girlfriends
that their moms should start networking together
to find them potential mates. In 2004, Miller started
working on the original idea of creating MatchmakingMoms.com
to fill this void - literally marrying the worlds
of online dating and a ‘mother knows best’
approach to matchmaking. “In the search for
love, if you’re willing to try a number of
options both online and offline, why not give mom
a chance” said Miller. “Since mom raised
you, she knows all of your strengths and your weaknesses
and provides a truly honest and more insightful
perspective to potential daters while supporting
you through the search process.
MatchmakingMoms.com reduces the angst by putting
mom in charge.” What distinguishes MatchmakingMoms.com
from other online dating services is that members
are mothers, and not the daters themselves. Creating
a profile is easy, because mom already knows what
type of person is best for their single son or daughter.
Mom can provide better insight, charming anecdotes,
highlight positive attributes and offer a truly
unique description in their loved one’s profile,
as they search for matches and arrange meetings
on their son or daughter’s behalf. Singles
only need to decide whether or not to respond to
an arranged date invitation with a screened, pre-qualified
date candidate.
On the date, the matches can confidently test for
good chemistry, knowing their date has been carefully
screened by people they trust. MatchmakingMoms.com
attracts higher quality matches, because its members,
moms, invest the time and energy to find the best
possible matches, and vouch for their son or daughter’s
interests, tastes, good character and personality.
MatchmakingMoms.com was designed as an online haven
for serious dating. Therefore, strict criteria for
membership includes: honesty, credibility, compatibility,
and safety. All members must be age 18 and over.
How the website, MatchmakingMoms.com works
1)
Moms Create a Dater Profile.
Mom must have permission from their single son or
daughter (age 18+) to create a
general profile.
2)
Matchmaking Moms Subscription
Gives Matchmakers exclusive access to dater profiles,
photos, other matchmaking moms,
date scheduling, and more.
3)
Search
Search the database of profiles for possible fits.
4)
MatchmakingMom.com Network
MatchmakingMoms.com will facilitate match screening
through communication. Moms
can network to ask the right questions and promote
the great qualities their single son or
daughter offers. This eliminates the initial shyness
and embarrassment that many new
online daters experience when trying to make the
first contact.
5)
Schedule a Date
When the timing is right, Matchmaker moms propose
a date for their single son or
daughter by simply filling out an invitation form
that invites both parties to a meeting.
The rest is up to the dater.
NOTE: for a limited time, a free,
three-month trial membership is currently being
offered. After three months, members will pay $24.95
monthly.
About Founder Dawn
Miller
Dawn Miller founded MatchmakingMoms.com and the
companion sites, MatchmakingKids.com and MatchmakingFriends.com
in 2004. The sites were officially launched last
month (July 2006). Miller’s background uniquely
prepared her to fill this void in the online dating
world. She comes from a military family that traveled
around the world, and is quite familiar with the
difficulty of making new friends and acquaintances.
Along the way, she also developed strong entrepreneurial
instincts. She graduated with a bachelor’s
degree in Organizational Communications from California
State University-Sacramento in 1997, and began her
career at an investment banking firm. Two years
after that, she moved to Spain to teach English,
and later returned to California to work in the
management, customer relations and business development
divisions of the well-renowned e-commerce site,
eLuxury, for the past six years. Miller currently
resides in San Francisco with her boyfriend, whom
she met online.
