Drawing Down the Moon Matchmaking and Dating Agency

I think the most important thing I have learned from my experience with Andrea at DDM is not to be too quick to judge a book by its cover. Andrea rang me to tell me about an amazing guy called Charlie. He ticked many of my ‘must have’ boxes, but I was somewhat deterred by the fact he is a Christian. I am agnostic, I told her. I really didn’t think we would be a good match. Andrea really felt we were a fit in terms of everything else, so she wanted to speak to him to clarify his position. To Andrea, he quoted that line from Notting Hill, “I’m just a boy standing in front of a girl”. Andrea and I giggled how romantic this was. So nothing ventured , nothing gained, I agreed to meet him. The ninety minutes I’d granted him ran into three hours. He is active, he cycled to our date; his children had styled him, which was so sweet; he’s bright; we make one another laugh and sometimes we just get the fits of the giggles! Andrea was right - we do have a lot in common. We accept that our beliefs are different, but respect ‘the other’ for the integrity of their view. Something I thought was a deal-breaker turned out to be anything but. The advantage in lockdown is that you have the time to talk, and listen - which we are still doing every night. So thank you Andrea. This book, with its questionable cover, appears to be a good enough read .... and we are looking forward to living life to the full! JP

Joining DDM changed my life - a positive experience from the outset working with dedicated professionals who got to know me and what I wanted for the next stage of my life. I am so grateful they partnered me with the man I'm delighted to now call my fiance. Thank you so much DDM, I am so grateful to all the team!

Becoming single after many years of marriage was an unnerving experience and the adjustments to a completely new way of life took a goodly while. Finally the time seemed right time to start look for a new relationship, but the landscape had changed completely over the decades since I was single. Internet dating was a strange and alien land, and whilst some people are comfortable there it certainly wasn't the place for me. This led to DDM after quite a bit of searching and talking to a variety of agencies. I have been a member now for a couple of years and have certainly met some interesting and stimulating individuals. The team at DDM is engaged and supportive; trying to match individuals is clearly a challenge and DDM rises well to that challenge. The journey continues and I remain positive about seeing where it takes me.

The Covid-19 pandemic has posed particular problems in terms of meeting new people, but Andrea, Senior Matchmaker, and her colleague Matilda have not let it stop them doing their excellent work. Andrea is very skilled at matching people and thinking creatively about compatibility, and has introduced me to a lovely man with whom I'm developing a happy relationship. Zoom is proving very helpful in getting to know each other. Thank you, Andrea, and keep up the great work.

My sincere thanks to Andrea for her exceptional ability to listen, understand, guide and match when it comes to matters of the heart. It’s rare in life that we meet someone in whom we can entrust our inner most thoughts, hopes and vulnerabilities. Andrea has been an absolute rock, patient and empathetic and quite amazing in her ability to bring together like minded souls.
