Master Matchmaker discloses how to diffuse the “I love you” bomb.

DATELINE: NORWELL, MA…

In the new romantic comedy (500) Days of Summer, Joseph Gordon Levitt’s character finds himself in a place you want to be in a relationship. You know, when that new person you’ve been seeing touches your heart in a way where those three words—I love you—suddenly seep into your consciousness. The only question is, “does he or she feel the same way?” And do you risk losing what you’ve got by invoking those three small words into your relationship?

Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating–one of the world’s largest brick-and-mortar dating services with more than 60 offices nationwide—has paired thousands of clients during more than 35 years in business. He also has a few thoughts on when you should and should not say “I love you.”

“Well, on your way to the restaurant on your first date might be too soon and the night you celebrate your one-year anniversary is probably a bit late,” said Falzone. “Seriously, the key really is not when you say it, but that you’re really sure you feel it. Because let’s face it, saying those three words will change your current relationship one way or the other. So it’s important to have your thoughts together rather than just blurting it out.”

Falzone recommends:

• Writing out a list of why you love the person you’re seeing. Include the reasons why, not just that you do.
• Ask yourself honestly if this is a relationship you want to take to that next level. Allow yourself to daydream a little bit about where you think it could go.
• Write your boy/girlfriend a love letter stating your feeling for them. Include the three words in their just to see how it feels. You don’t have to send it.
• Practice saying it in the mirror. It may sound silly, but when the time comes you’ll want to look your beloved in the eye and deliver your ‘I love you’ with confidence.
• Hope for the best, but plan for the worst: no response or ‘I don’t love you’. Sure, you want to think positive, but it is possible that the other person may not feel the same. Or that they might not be in the same place right now.

Adds Falzone, “The most important thing is you want the moment you tell somebody you love them to be special. So, plan a special dinner, take them to the site of where you met, buy a bottle of champagne, you name it. If he or she reciprocates, you’ll want to celebrate. “

And what if he or she doesn’t reciprocate?
“Obviously, that’s not the preferred answer, but by making an effort to make the moment special, you do earn that person’s respect if not their love,” said Falzone. “And you can most definitely hold your head high for having the courage to listen to your heart and make your feelings known. That’s really the only way you will find your true love.”

Traditional dating is almost a thing of the past. But there is a lot to be said for meeting a person face to face. Most experts claim that while the online sites may be good for meeting people, it can’t compare to actually meeting someone in person. “The anonymity of many online dating sites may provide a slew of impersonal introductions, but what happens when you get to the next step … meeting them in person?” asks Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating. “The ways of meeting someone have changed, but the rules of behavior have not.” Matchmaking companies do a lot more screening before they match someone. Some dating sites offer virtual dating, where each person creates an avatar and go on a virtual play date online. FULL ARTICLE @ SW TIMES

The man who has married more couples than any other matchmaker, has met his own match with a new addition to his company. Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating, has added online dating service LoveAccess.com to his family of companies.

“Our business is happiness, and this new service enables us to spread the joys of love and marriage to a much wider audience,” said Falzone.

The new online service will offer greater safety and security than other online services to those who want to meet other singles.  Every member of the site will receive a phone call to confirm both their single status and the facts presented in their profiles. A VIP membership will also allow for certifications of the memberships, so that potential dates know they have been cleared with background checks.

Mark Brooks, analyst and consultant to the online dating industry and editor of Online Personals Watch, commented, “Match tried matchmaking, now the matchmakers are responding. The matchmakers at The Right One / Together Dating have the real world experience, and Nelson Rodriguez and the team at LoveAccess.com have the online marketing savvy to meld this combination of companies into a highly effective marketing powerhouse.”

Nelson Rodriguez, current CEO of LoveAccess, will remain with the company in an executive position. The Right One and Together Dating and LoveAccess.com will be headquartered in Norwell, MA.

About Together/The Right One
With more than 30 years of experience and a match every 17 minutes, International Dating Ventures, Inc. is the relationship expert. The company includes The Right One®, Together®, and the new eLove, with more than 300,000 members at 60 locations throughout North America. The Right One® and Together® offer a level of personal attention and security that no other service can match. They do it the old-fashioned way: one-to-one interviews, caring guidance and a focus on compatibility, and they are the largest bricks-and-mortar dating services in the industry. eLove.com will serve singles through the Internet as well as through its physical locations nationwide.

About LoveAccess
Loveaccess.com has been an innovator helping singles find love online since 2002. It was the first dating site to offer instant messaging/web cam chat and one of the first to offer personal matchmaking. The service is currently one of the top 20 internet dating sites in the USA and has over one million active members.

People burnt out by the lies and lack of privacy found on dating sites are turning to one of this country’s 1,600 matchmakers who prescreen potential matches and focus on long-term compatibility rather than short-term chemistry. Mark Brooks of Online Personals Watch has pointed out that the problem for matchmakers has always been casting a wide enough net; for online sites the problem has been narrowing the pool. He advised both to find common ground. The latest crop of hybrids (online dating sites that offer matchmaking services) seems to suggest some are doing just that. Elove.com, one of the larger New York-area hybrid offerings, is an Internet service that gives each participant a 90-minute in-person interview, and then follows up with criminal background and marital status checks. Once approved, photographs and videos are taken and posted by the matchmaking service. Subscribers are then given a password to search elove’s database. FULL ARTICLE @ THE NEW YORK TIMES
