As you have all experienced, COVID-19 brought with it changes to the dating scene. Specifically, increased difficulty in meeting your potential match face to face.
Misao san asked me to write a few words about my experience so far, which resulted in me meeting a beautiful female (presently in Japan), who I am in an exclusive relationship with.
Like many of you have probably done, or thought about doing, after joining Ozmatch I initially started looking for female clients living close to me. I thought that seeing someone close to me, or someone who was already in Australia, would increase my chances of successfully finding ‘the one’.
I talked to a couple of female clients, including Australian based ones, but they were not ‘the one’ for me. Don’t get me wrong, Misao san has really nice clients, and would not accept any ‘bad’ clients, but the ones I talked to were not meant for me.
Misao san was very supportive through the process and suggested that I broaden my horizon to include her overseas based female clients. By now she knew my personality and she recommended me talking to one specific female client. At first I had to think about it but I knew Misao san would do her best to find me a match and I decided to follow her recommendation. If I could only say one sentence, describing that decision, I would say including an overseas based female in my search was, and will be, the best decision I made in my life.
The female client she recommended for me is a perfect fit to my personality on multiple levels, far too many to mention in this message. However, I can say that she is beautiful, intelligent and has similar views and values as me etc. It just clicked from the start (first omiai) and I quickly realised this female is the one I searched for in my life. We quickly progressed into an exclusive couple, speak daily and are taking active steps for her to later move to Australia. Neither she or I had this connection (we have) in our previous relationships. We both feel that we have found the missing ‘link’ in our lives.
Looking back at it now, I wonder why I did not follow Misao san’s advice earlier to include overseas based females.
As I see it, what will be a big factor in whether you find ‘the one’ will be your personalities and how well you match, not where you currently live. It is easy to move somewhere but it is harder to change one’s personality. If I may offer some advice it will be not to hesitate to include overseas based females in your search, and trust Misao san’s recommendations if she suggest (virtually) meeting an overseas based female.
The wait to see your female overseas match is only a short-term issue. If you have the option to meet someone perfect for you, would you not be willing to wait a short time if it meant that you would be happy for the rest of your life?
But, instead of emotions let us talk about facts/numbers. Finding one’s soulmate is a process of trial and error. The more females you are willing to meet (even if only virtually), the bigger your chance is to find your match. As the majority of Misao san’s clients are based overseas, there will potentially be more matches for you if you expand your search.
I wish you all the best of luck in your searches.
