Hello Alison,


Dating these days sounds a little spooky—and not just because it’s October! 


I started my first matchmaking company in 2009, and my team and I have heard some true dating horror stories that would give anyone goosebumps. 


One woman told us about an online date who later ended up on the news… for killing four people. Another client found out the guy she was chatting with online had just been released from prison. When it comes to online dating, you really never know what kind of person you might run into.


It’s terrifying to think about, but that’s the reality of meeting people through apps. Someone might look charming and say all the right things, but behind the screen, they are a complete stranger—or worse. 


These creepy surprises are exactly why online dating can feel like a haunted house: you never know what’s lurking around the corner.


Dating should be fun, exciting, and safe, not something that gives you nightmares. That’s why every person you meet through Midwest Matchmaking has been fully vetted—we do background checks and get to know them personally before we set you up. 


You deserve to focus on connecting with someone special, not worrying about whether they are who they say they are.


The right person is out there, and with us, finding them is a lot less scary!


Reach out to me anytime at Courtney@MidwestMatchmaking.com. 


Love,

Courtney Quinlan

Owner and Matchmaker

Dating Dilemmas:

What to Say Instead of Ghosting Someone


We’ve all experienced it—or done it. One minute you’re chatting with someone, and the next… poof, they’re gone.


Ghosting has become way too common, but just because it’s easy doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. Being left without any explanation can leave people feeling confused and frustrated, wondering what went wrong.


A simple text can go a long way in giving closure and showing respect. Here are three to send next time you're not feeling it with someone:


"I really enjoyed getting to know you, but I'm not feeling a romantic connection. I wish you the best moving forward!"


"I had a nice time, but I don't think we're the right match. Good luck in your search!"


"You're great, but I think we are looking. for different things. I hope you find what you're looking for!"
