Reading: Preparing for an in-person Meeting

A matchmaker minister can help clients prepare for in-person meetings in a number of ways. Here are a few examples:

• They can help clients to choose an appropriate location for the meeting. This could be a public place, such as a coffee shop or a restaurant, or it could be a private place, such as the client's home.
• They can help clients to dress appropriately for the meeting. This means dressing in a way that is comfortable and confident, but also appropriate for the setting.
• They can help clients to plan what they will say during the meeting. This could include talking about their interests, their goals, and their values.
• They can help clients to practice their conversation skills. This could involve role-playing or simply practicing talking to themselves in the mirror.
• They can provide support and encouragement on the day of the meeting. This could involve giving the client a pep talk or simply being there to listen if they are feeling nervous.

By following these tips, clients can increase their chances of having a successful in-person meeting.

Here are some additional tips for preparing for an in-person meeting:

• Be on time. Punctuality shows that you are respectful of the other person's time.
• Be polite and respectful. This means using good manners and being considerate of the other person's feelings.
• Be yourself. Don't try to be someone you're not. The other person will be able to tell if you're being fake, and it will make it difficult to build a connection.
• Be positive. People are more likely to be attracted to someone who is positive and upbeat.
• Be interested in the other person. Ask questions and listen to what they have to say.
• Be honest. Don't lie about your age, your job, or anything else.
• Be respectful of boundaries. If the other person is not interested in you, don't pressure them.
• Have fun! Dating should be enjoyable. If you're not having fun, it's probably not the right person for you.
