Laura Smyth's matchmaking agency was set up to help hopeless singles in lockdown
The only matchmaker working in Scotland has told how demand trebled during the pandemic and shared her top tips for finding love - including having zero expectations on a first date.
She said her fiance wouldn't have wanted to go out with her had he met her when she was working in her old job, because the career change made her grow as a person, and said it was important to give second chances. And she said most people don't relax enough to show who they really are until a third date - while suggesting that if there wasn't immediate chemistry that could grow in future and to give the person another chance.
"People meet at work and three years later start dating, when they've grown to get to know them and are attracted to each other.Laura says if men talk about past relationships and show their vulnerability on a first date, they risk asking women to 'mother' them - because of going from 'masculine' to 'feminine' energy, which can ruin the chance of connection and being friend zoned.
"The early 90s was a man's world, now women are having access to the same jobs, buying their own flats.
