Labor of Love: Ideal Match Makes Finding Love Easy

True love. Those two simple words have motivated us for centuries. Referenced by poets and philosophers, cursed by the scorned and heartbroken and lauded by optimists and believers, the search for love is the eternal unifier across the human experience. The hunt for it has plagued us all, spurring us forward and eluding us for centuries. But those centuries of practice have, thankfully, resulted in a more refined system, a system that’s practically been perfected by Karian Forsyth of Ideal Match. 

Karian first embarked on the path of matchmaking in 1997, a path that would eventually lead her to a role as San Diego’s finest and most abiding matchmaker. Karian passes down her extensive experience and unparalleled success in the matchmaking industry to her staff at Ideal Match, some of whom have been with her for over 10 years. That means that the pesky, established quest to find true love just got a whole lot easier.

Unlike many modern dating websites or popular apps, Ideal Match operates entirely on human–to–human connections, eliminating emotionless computers, surveys and algorithms. They help you find your true "ideal match" through a variety of avenues and tactics, beginning with traditional matchmaking, in which one of their seven Certified Dating Coaches matches you with real people (a process that’s far more complex and nuanced than a simple swipe, unlike many modern dating apps like Tinder). Those Coaches will help you navigate the often–intimidating world of dating too.

Ideal Match also hosts singles events to help you meet and interact with other like–minded singles. And then there’s Karian’s specialty, image consulting; through an extensive makeover process, Karian and her team of specialists (including a life coach, dating coach, designer, hair salon, medical spa and skin care esthetician, make–up artist, professional photographer, cosmetic surgeon, nutritionist and personal trainer) help refine your look to help you appeal to your ideal match. As Karian would say, "Change your image, change your life!"

That may all sound a bit overwhelming—but the step–by–step process at Ideal Match is seamless and, according to most clients, genuinely fun. So what can you expect if you decide to invest in the Ideal Match process? First of all, you should recognize that it’s just that—an investment; this is about finding your person, not just for the weekend, but hopefully forever. Once you’re committed, you’ll begin with a phone consultation where Ideal Match will gather your basic information and pair you with a Matchmaker.

Next, you’ll take a trip to their beautiful Mission Valley offices and meet your Matchmaker so they can see how you’re currently dating, if you’re ready for a relationship and profile your Ideal Match; it’s more like catching up with a longtime friend than a formal interview! Your Matchmaker will guide you through defining the three obstacles to finding someone special and how they’ll help you surmount them. Your conversation will put you at ease; matching (and the hurdles that come with it) seems practically effortless when your Matchmaker breaks down their process.

We all know a bit about that first obstacle; how do you possibly narrow down the massive playing field of your city in order to find other quality singles? The Ideal Match advertises every single month, attracting those quality singles so you don’t have to. Meeting, on the other hand, can be the most awkward part of dating. With The Ideal Match, there’s no uncomfortable introduction or questionable arrangements; they make dating fun again by doing all the tough stuff for you. As for matching, as Karian says, "The fact is, we’re not our own best matchmakers or everyone would be in a happy, healthy relationship!" The Ideal Match makes matches professionally—they definitely know what they’re doing!

Once you’ve covered the plan to tackle the obstacles, you’ll discuss their three tenants of matching: physical, emotional and intellectual attraction and compatibility. Ideal Match knows you want to be attracted to the person you meet (who wouldn’t?), so they take close–up and full–length photos of every client. Their signature compatibility profile takes a deeper look into your personality—things like your relationship goals, moral and ethical values and the personal importance you place on sex, romance and affection—in order to make sure you match on an emotional level. Many services don’t observe matters of intellect, which can often lead to sour matches. The Ideal Match notes each person’s educational background, career or profession, and income level so that you can meet someone you truly respect and admire for their mind and success. You’ll also be matched based on common hobbies and interests, which means you’ll get to do things you both enjoy (hiking! yoga!) rather than suffering through a bad match’s idea of a good time. 

Your Matchmaker is sure to go over their standards of quality over quantity and describe each step of communication and feedback so they can fine–tune the selection of introductions. After your meeting, if you and your Matchmaker both think you’re a good match with the process and their database, you’ll invest in a membership—whether that means simply meeting other singles or transforming your entire life through their coaches and image consulting is entirely up to you!

Once you complete and pass the background check (a measure that’s required for every single client to ensure your safety and comfort), you just sit back and watch Ideal Match work their magic! You’ll receive introductions via email, go on dates that were set up just for you and attend fun events and mixers. All you have to do is answer your email and have fun!

Karian and The Ideal Match team have been helping San Diego singles meet their match for years, developing a unique and tested approach with proven success stories. If you’re looking for heartache and brooding regret like those poets and philosophers of old, then stay on that old–fashioned quest. But if you’re a modern soul and you’d like to find love and have fun while you do it, The Ideal Match is your ideal solution!
