1. How is the service provided by Samantha's Table
different from just going on a blind date that one of your friend's arranges?
--The service
provided by Samantha's Table is very different from the blind dates your friends
arrange for you because I strategically choose the people who you will be
dating after screening the many single people whom I know. Your friends,
on the other hand, tend to introduce you to people who are simply single and
available and they spend very little time thinking about whether or not you have
anything in common other than the fact that you are both single and looking to
meet someone.
2. How is the service provided by Samantha's Table
different from online dating?
--The service
provided by Samantha's Table is very different form online dating in that my
service is very personalized. I work as an intermediary between you and
the people with whom you will be going on the dates with and I provide accurate
and verified information about them. Given the fact that I get to know you, I
choose people for you whom I think are appropriate for you. With online
dating, you, on your own, must verify that the people are who they say they are
and you yourself must make the determination as to whether or not it makes sense
to meet a specific person. In addition, online dating can be
time-consuming, whereas I spend time sifting through potential people for you,
so you, as a busy professional can maximize your time.
3. How is the service provided by Samantha's Table
different from other Dating Services?
--Samantha's
Table is different from many other dating services in that I do not simply set
the clients up with each other, I set my clients up with any single person
with whom I come in contact whether or not they have enlisted my services or
paid us money as long as I think the person would be appropriate. In this
way, I can use all the country as a potential venue for finding
appropriate dates for my clients.
4. Do "normal" people really use Matchmakers?
--Matchmaking
has become a very acceptable and "in vogue" way of meeting people. My
clients are very "normal", they are attractive, intelligent, successful,
interesting, and social. They date a lot and often but they are also very
busy with work and with hobbies so they are choosing to maximize their time by
hiring a professional to help them locate their mate.
5. Where do you find the people who I go on my dates with?
--I find the dates for my clients anywhere and everywhere I go. I
attend charity events, art openings, restaurant and store openings, fashion
events, cocktail parties in an effort to find appropriate dates for my clients.
I put out "feelers" to friends and friends of friends for certain types of
people that have been requested by my clients. And I approach interesting,
attractive people that I see in my everyday lives like at the health club, in
the Doctor's office or in an office building in an effort to locate the right
people for my clients.
6. How do people who are not clients feel about
going out on dates with ymy clients?
--Samantha's Table has been in business for close to nine years. In this time,
I have sent
out thousands of dates in and around the NY and LA area and have helped
countless people get into meaningful, long-term relationships. As a
result, almost everyone in these cities has already experienced a Samantha's
Table date or has a friend who has gone out on one of my dates. and "survived it".
Hence, people are flattered and excited to be asked to go out with one of my
clients as they know from personal experience that my clients are interesting,
attractive and very desirable.
7. Is there a particular religion you work with?
--I work with all religions. If you are interested in only dating people
of your own religion, this is fine. And if you are not particular as to
the religion of the person you are dating, I can accommodate this as well. The
key is that I can provide the type of people you want to meet.
9. What if I don't live in NY or LA?
--If you do not live in NY or LA, you can still work with me. I offer two
options for this:
(1) You can become a "Bi-city client." I have many clients who do not live
in NY or LA full-time yet come through one of the two cities regularly for
business or personal reasons. These clients are interested in being introduced
to people in NY or LA because their life is such that meeting their significant
other in NY or LA could work for them. In this instance, I would make
introductions for you according to your travel schedule when you are in town and
I would introduce you to people who have a flexible lifestyle and who are open
to the possibility of being in a relationship that takes place in several cities
and/or ultimately relocating for the right person.
(2) I can do a "Hometown Search" for you. This option works Ill for someone who
does not come to NY or LA regularly but who nonetheless would like to work
directly with me. In a "hometown search," I come to where you live and actually
customize a database of eligible people for you. I do strategic and discreet
outreach for you to identify the people in your greater hometown area (you and I
will decide how far the reach will go) who closely match the criteria you are
looking for in a mate. These searches are very effective because the database
has been created just for you, keeping in mind who you are as an individual,
your lifestyle and the type of people you are look to date.
10. Do you take every person who contacts you as a
client?
--My service is very popular. I get contacted by close to200 people every week
who are interested in becoming clients. I make sure that when I take on a
client that I will be able to provide them with the type of people that they
are interested in meeting. Therefore, I do in fact turn down many
prospective clients if I think that their expectations are not reasonable.
