(Free-Press-Release.com) August 20, 2008 -- NEW YORK MATCHMAKING COMPANY EXPANDS THROUGHOUT THE NORTHEAST

Many Singles Choosing Matchmakers To Find Love

Purchase, New York, August 20, 2008 – The traditional art of matchmaking that helped previous generations of couples find their life partners is fast becoming a lucrative business. Great Date Now, a personalized matchmaking company is proof. The discreet service for upscale, single professionals that started as an entrepreneurial venture in suburban New York just five years ago is now one of the largest and most successful offline matchmaking companies on the East Coast. The company, which has offices throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, has expanded to Philadelphia and will soon open in Baltimore and Washington DC.

Great Date Now‘s matchmaking service is fast becoming popular among busy, professional singles with high-powered careers that consume much of their time, and newly divorced men and women who need help learning how to date again. It is also becoming the preferred dating service for successful single men, who because of high-profile careers, want to keep their dating lives confidential.

Gary Ferone, founder of Great Date Now, launched his privately-owned company after going through the frustrations of online dating. Between his long and arduous search for a second wife and a friend who had been in the matchmaking business for 11 years, Ferone decided to start a matchmaking company of his own.

“Our clients look at our service as an investment in their future.” states Ferone. “We want our clients to consider their matchmakers 'Personal Shoppers for the Heart' and they’re fulfilling their roles. Just last week, we had six clients call to tell us they are walking down the aisle.”

Unlike online dating that require lots of time searching profiles and pictures before ever talking to or meeting someone, Great Date Now matchmakers meet privately with their clients, carefully screen them and conduct background checks to make sure their personal information is accurate. Candidates considered suitable must be professionals with certain education and income levels. Once matchmakers conduct a series of confidential interviews to learn about their clients and what they are seeking in a mate, Great Date Now hand selects potential matches, and if both parties agree to meet, matchmakers arrange the date.

Great Date Now has locations in Mid-town Manhattan, Purchase, Garden City, and Hauppauge, New York, Englewood Cliffs, Morristown and Red Bank, New Jersey and Philadelphia.
