Ask clients to complete a 7-item intake and share 3 photos before first session.

During intake, assign 5 core values: honesty, ambition, generosity, humor, reliability. For each value, rate preference on a 1–10 scale; total score range 5–50.

Build a client profile capturing age range, location, lifestyle, hobbies, relationship goalse dating history; generate 2–4 candidate profiles weekly.

Craft outreach messages that highlight common ground, avoid clichés, and include a concrete call to action. Use concrete examples to illustrate compatibility, not generic lines.

Track outcomes weekly: share of introductions that lead to a second date within 30 days; aim for at least 40%.

After each date, collect feedback, update compatibility score, adjust candidate pool accordingly.

Three optimization steps: 1) upload warm, natural photos, 2) craft bio focusing on values, 3) initiate with a specific question.

Future evaluation: after 90 days, present metrics such as median time to first date, share of successful matches, and client satisfaction score.

Client Intake and Goal Mapping: What to Ask and How Answers Shape Matches

Begin with 15-minute structured intake call and a written goal map template; capture objectives, dealbreakers, timing, and preferred pace of progress.

Ask about core values, relationship history, and preferred dynamics in a concise sequence: communication style, conflict approach, autonomy level, and emotional needs; document non-negotiables and red flags.

Use scales: rate importance from 1 to 5 for each item; require brief justification; capture constraints like travel or work schedule; add notes on lessons learned.

How answers shape matches: scores guide both human curation and lightweight filtering; set thresholds for initial introductions; stronger alignment on core values increases candidate fit; handle tradeoffs by color-coding blocks for clarity.

Example mapping: if client prioritizes autonomy, intellectual connection, and adventure; weights: autonomy 5, intellectual 4, adventure 4; dealbreakers: dishonesty, lack of curiosity; translate into filters and interview prompts.

Data capture tips: keep intake form under two pages; use digital form with conditional logic to tailor questions based on earlier answers; ensure privacy; include consent for storing preferences; allow updates at checkpoints.

Common pitfalls: overloading with questions; skipping emotional nuance; failing to recalibrate goals after experiences; schedule monthly recalibration; adjust weights as priorities shift.

Coaching touchpoints: after intake, set two specific micro-goals for first month; track progress via brief check-ins; adjust match criteria based on real-world responses; use quick confidence score to decide whether to shift toward more selective introductions.

Describe ideal weekend with a partner; which values drive time together; which boundary ends a relationship; how trust shows itself in daily life.

Profile Refresh and Photo Strategy: Quick Improvements That Spark Interest

Start with a three-photo refresh: use one crisp headshot, one natural-action shot, one hobby scene. This quick swap signals confidence e authenticity while keeping a clean profile look.

Lighting matters more than expected: shoot in soft daylight, avoid harsh noon sun, ensure catchlights in eyes, color balance around 5500K for consistency across shots.

Avoid over-processing: stick to natural skin tones, minimal retouching, color matching across images, tiny sharpening only, so faces stay lifelike.

Add concise captions that reveal context: location, activity, or a result, not generic phrases; examples include “Morning trail run, coffee after” or “studio session with natural backdrop.” Keep it short to prompt curiosity.

Craft a one-liner that signals intent: blend playful tone with specificity. Example: “Weekend baker who shoots with a camera and loves coastal hikes.”

Include at least one full-body shot to convey stature and style; avoid group pictures; verify that every frame presents clear identification and consistent lighting.

For mobile experiences, keep key visuals centered with safe margins; ensure crop remains legible when displayed at small sizes.

Measure impact quickly: ask a few trusted friends to rate first impression within 5 seconds, then adjust based on feedback. Aim for a 20–25% increase in profile opt-ins after refresh.

Messaging Playbook and Date Planning: From the First Message to a Confirmed Date

Opener should be precise, personal, actionable. Reference a specific profile detail and finish with a direct question or invitation for more.

1. First message framework

   • Reference a specific profile detail and end with a single question.

   • Keep length under 200 characters to maximize reply likelihood.

   • Example opener: “Loved your hiking photo–what trail was that?”

2. Cadence and follow-up

   • Respond within 24 hours to maintain momentum. If no reply after 24–48 hours, send a light follow-up with a fresh angle.

   • Limit total exchanges to 3; if energy mismatches, pivot or pause politely.

3. Templates you can deploy

   • Warm curiosity: “Loved your hiking photo–what trail was that? Any weekend plans to explore more scenery?”

   • Playful: “That sunset shot made me curious; is that shoreline near your place? Any favorite sunset spots?”

   • Direct: “Nice profile. Planning coffee Saturday 11:00 or Sunday 15:00. Which works for you?”

   • Thoughtful: “Noted you enjoy cooking. If you had to cook one dish this week, what would you pick?”

4. Date planning after exchange

   • After 2–3 exchanges, propose 2 concrete options with times and venue type. Example: “Coffee at Aroma Café Saturday 11:00 or Sunday 15:00 in central plaza.”

   • Keep logistics simple: public venue, duration about 60 minutes, share address via message, decide on rides or walk-in plan.

   • Once both sides confirm, set calendar invite and share contact method for day-of updates.

5. Safety, boundaries, and contingency

   • Always meet in public place, inform a friend, share meetup details 24 hours ahead.

   • If tone shifts or vibe mismatches, pause gracefully; finish with a kind closing message and optional future connection.
