Internet dating not doing the trick? Try a professional matchmaker.

The next day, I set them up.

Danielle is thrilled. She writes, “This has just been added to my list of good things.” So is Joe. “Not sure how serious you are about this matchmaking thing, but I have to say you are putting a good foot forward,” he tells me.

Ronis is less pleased, but understands. “I am very possessive of my male inventory, but I never want to get in the way of fate,” she says.

And I have to say, for that morning, the joy of success justifies my various matchmaking adventures. I feel like Emma, Jane Austen’s quintessential cupid, when she says, “[Matchmaking] is the greatest amusement in the world!”

You could call it an altruistic high. But I’d be lying if I said that was all I was after.
