Dating, some of us like to cruise
the bars, some of us like the baths and some the grocery store.
Everywhere you look, there is the opportunity to meet a potential
stranger and who knows what will happen? In Good Company, a
gay owned matchmaking service can cut through the "red tape"
of dating and hand pick your future soul mate! I was lucky enough
to catch up with the great folks at In Good Company to ask them
a few questions about how things work, just in case!!
How long
has In Good Company been around?
In Good Company
launched during Gay Pride Week in June of 2005. As we begin
to wrap up our second year in business, we have grown bigger
and faster than we had originally projected.
Can anyone
use this service?
We have amassed
a wide range of clients since the Chicago office opened. At
In Good Company, we accept all gays and lesbians as well as other
members of the LGBT community who are looking to meet new people,
as long as we have the type of people they are looking to meet.
What can
I expect from In Good Company?
In Good Company
delivers to our clients a "level playing field" when
it comes to meeting other gays and lesbians. Our clients know
the type of people they're meeting beforehand, and can routinely
expect us to take care of all the details regarding their introductions,
making it fun and stress-free!
How do
I go about "putting myself out there"?
A lot of
people think that Mr. or Mrs. Right is going to fall from the
sky one day, knock on their door, and announce themselves! Making
the decision to be proactive about your personal life is a big
step, but a necessary one. IGC provides traditional matchmaking
for lesbian and gay professionals in a discreet and comfortable
setting; taking all the stress out of meeting new people. Members
participate in a one-on-one interview with one of IGC's Directors/Matchmakers
and are then matched with other members based on their criteria
and the Director's insight.
 Are
my responses put into a computer?
Computers
are not used in the matchmaking process; all matches are done
by hand using the Director's insight and knowledge.
What if
I don't like the person selected for me?
While our
matchmakers are very good at what they do and our clients are
quality people, there may not be chemistry on one or both sides
after all, no one can guarantee that sparks will fly.
After every introduction, we ask our members to provide feedback
on their introduction's within 24 hours. The purpose of the
feedback is to ensure member satisfaction and to provide the
matchmaker insight for future several introductions.
What are
you doing new this year?
We have a
couple of new processes that we're implementing this year, such
as improved client services, adding more member restaurants,
and even opening up a sister company dedicated to helping transsexuals,
men, and women meet each other in an upscale, professional atmosphere.
Look for T-Date Chicago in the summer of 2007!
