Online dating consumes far more time than people expect, according to Ignite Dating. The agency cites research showing it takes an average of 100 hours of online dating to secure a single date, with no guarantee that date leads anywhere. Endless scrolling and message exchanges that fizzle out contribute to dating burnout, leaving many daters exhausted. Rising living costs have also made singles more selective, with research cited by Ignite Dating showing 41% of people polled are going on fewer dates than before. ## What specialist skills do Ignite Dating's matchmakers use to save clients time? Ignite Dating's matchmakers bring emotional intelligence and experience reading people, allowing them to judge quickly whether two individuals are likely to work well together. This skill helps minimise the number of first dates that were never going to be right, reducing the time clients spend on introductions with little chance of a genuine connection and helping every date feel worthwhile. ## How does Ignite Dating find out what a client is looking for? Ignite Dating works closely with each client through private, in-depth consultations, held face-to-face or virtually, to build a thorough picture of who they are and what they want in a partner. This process often helps clients re-evaluate what matters most to them, and combined with MBTI and FIRO-based personality profiling, it narrows down the type of person a client is likely to click with. ## What support does Ignite Dating offer throughout the dating journey? Ignite Dating offers a personalised, hands-on service from start to finish, running from the initial consultation and a professional dating photoshoot through to support around a client's first date with a hand-selected match, and into the early stages of a new relationship. Matchmakers remain on hand throughout, offering feedback and a fresh outlook that reduces the stress of navigating a search for love alone. ## What expert resources does Ignite Dating use to find matches efficiently? Ignite Dating operates like a headhunter for relationships, drawing on an extensive private network of high-calibre professional singles who share a client's goal of a committed, long-term relationship. It combines this with personality profiling and professional photographs to present each client well, plus ID and digital footprint checks on all matches to add a layer of safety and security. ## Frequently asked questions ### How long does it typically take to get a date through online dating apps, according to Ignite Dating?
