What is the interview process like with Misty River Introductions?
Entering the world of matchmaking can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. If you're considering working with a matchmaker, you might be wondering: What happens in the interview? What kind of questions will I be asked? How do I prepare?
In this article, we’ll walk through what a matchmaking interview typically involves, why it's essential, and how you can make the most of it to find your ideal partner.
Setting the Stage: The Purpose of the Interview
The matchmaking interview isn’t just a casual chat- it’s the foundation of your journey towards finding the right match. The primary goal is for your matchmaker to gather enough information about your history, preferences and goals for the future to make informed and intuitive pairings.
While many people come in eager to describe their “ideal partner,” experienced matchmakers know the process starts with you. Before getting into who you want to meet, the focus is on who you are- your background, interests, personality, lifestyle, and relationship history.
What You’ll Be Asked
Expect a comprehensive, sometimes lengthy, conversation. You’ll be guided through a detailed questionnaire covering:
Your lifestyle – Are you a homebody or someone who thrives on social events and travel?
Your interests and passions – Hobbies, values, how you spend your time.
Past relationship patterns – What has worked and what hasn’t?
Your relationship goals – Are you looking to marry? Start a family? Maintain separate households?
Preferences – Physical appearance, lifestyle compatibility, income, education, etc.
You may also be asked about important lifestyle factors, like whether you play golf daily or have a busy social life, details that help the matchmaker understand compatibility on a day-to-day level.
Why Preparation Helps
You don’t need to have all the answers figured out before your interview, but coming prepared makes a big difference. Make a few notes ahead of time:
What’s really important to you in a relationship?
What are your “must-haves” and “deal-breakers”?
What kind of life do you envision with a partner?
These insights help your matchmaker create more aligned and thoughtful matches from the beginning.
The Real Key: Giving Honest Feedback
While the interview is vital, your ongoing feedback is what sharpens the matchmaking process. After a date, don’t just say, “I wasn’t feeling it.” Go deeper:
What did you like or dislike?
Was it their personality, appearance, communication style, or something else?
Were they too quiet or too outgoing? Too polished or too casual?
The more clearly you can articulate what worked and what didn’t, the faster and better your matchmaker can refine your future matches.
Final Thoughts
Working with a matchmaker is a collaborative process. The interview is just the beginning of a personalized, human-driven journey to finding a meaningful connection. By approaching it with openness, thoughtfulness, and clear communication, you're setting yourself up for a rewarding experience — and possibly, your perfect match.
