Great Date Now Takes Singles to Doubles With a Winning Match
 Internet dating has opened a new window in matchmaking, but, realistically, to find real compatibility, a more targeted selection process is likely to offer success more quickly. That’s why, according to Gary Ferone, owner of Great Date Now in Darien and Milford, Connecticut, Mamaroneck and Garden City, New York, and Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, many singles are finding that a more personalized, professionally-guided process is the way to get on the dating fast track. "I want people to realize that this is what people are doing today, especially men with busy schedules who don’t have time to search" he says. Why? Because searching for the right person, whether on the internet or elsewhere, can be frustrating and time-consuming. Many people would rather have some one with finely-honed, laser-like people skills do the leg work. That’s where Great Date Now comes in. "There is relentless prospecting that’s required," Gary says, adding that for many people, the kind of exposure internet dating requires also makes them uncomfortable.
 Those finely-honed people skills are a foundation of Great Date Now’s approach to finding the right person for their client, as is confidentiality. With its updated and expanded concept of a "dating service," that includes background checks, coaching, activities and even restaurant reservations, the former executive recruiter and Wall Street broker (Gary) married to a former finance industry realtor (his wife and business partner Lisa), bring their due diligence skills to the screening and selection and matchmaking processes. And with a database of almost 1200, from mid-20’s to 84, Great Date Now provides upscale people with a wide variety of potential partners, who span many professions and areas of interests. With so many potential partners to choose from, narrowing the process down to the top candidates can be challenging!
Once a match is identified, Lisa and Gary set up the time and place for the first date and offer many important tips to minimize the jitters that come with blind dates. Afterwards, they debrief their client about the date, getting important feedback about what worked or what didn’t, and the results are then incorporated into the selection process for any subsequent dates.
What has been especially gratifying for both Lisa and Gary Ferone is not only the number of successful relationships that happened because of Great Date Now, but also the way they’ve helped increase the self-knowledge and confidence of their clients. No wonder so many relationships have developed with their help. With its database of hundreds of single prospects, and its ability to help people navigate the dating maze, Great Date Now offers clients a winning strategy for a great match.
