Any person can spend the whole rest of his/her life searching for the person he/she wants to date (or believe wants to date) but ... it is needed to take into account IF that "person he/she wants to date" really WANTS to also date him/her!!! Many persons do not exactly know who they really want to date! or who are the most convenient persons to meet_in_person! Many persons will need a set of prospective mates selected for them. Chemistry and other sites with proprietary tests or models have low successful matching rates, because their proprietary tests or models have great precision in measuring different psychological variables but their matching algorithms have low precision when comparing one psycho_pattern to others. The whole precision is less than any client could achieve searching by his/her own!!! This problem arises because they use multiple regression equations in their matching algorithms to predict relationship compatibility! Fernando Ardenghi. Buenos Aires.

Personally, I believe that matchmakers need to have some face-to-face interaction with the people they are matching. Phone conversations are a start I guess. I wonder if Engage has plans to implement such a feature. I have some doubts about strangers playing matchmaker over the internet.
