Anyone tried professional matchmaking service?
Main Post:
Hi all, has anyone tried professional matchmaking service and what are the results if you don't mind sharing? I just want to know if it's worth the payment as it is very expensive.
I have been using online dating websites/apps since my early 20s and I have to say it didn't work out.
Thank you everyone for your inputs, I appreciate hearing your opinions and experiences.
Top Comment: I did have a meeting with a matchmaker (Jewish, full spectrum), and that consult with her helped me better understand that I’m kind of an odd bird, and that the $250 to be in her exclusive database was likely better spent doing paid OLD. For full-service matchmaking the contract is around $1,000 but not sure what it entails. It’s much more common in orthodox Jewish circles to use matchmakers but there are many very marriage-oriented events and the community is very tight.

A sexual active person dating an Asexual
Main Post:
I'm happily in love with my girlfriend, I identity myself as a bisexual person, while she doesn't explicitly identify as any sexual orientation in particular, but if she had to she would identify herself as an Asexual person. While she mostly rejects the idea of sex she still lets me experience a part of it,sort of. We often talk about sex, since we don't want to hurt each other and force ourselves in sex/not sex situations. Is there anyone who has a healthy relationship with someone who is not asexual? Any advice in how to improve our situation would be welcomed. Thanks in advance for your advice.
Edit : Thank you very much for all answers and suggestions, even though I don't reply to everyone I certainly read all comments

I have a sexual partner and it turns out it works out for us quite well. Being open about what each of us needs is very important. I see sex (the general act) as an intimate activity like dancing. I think the most important thing here i should mention is that traditional sex (PIV) is off the table, but I’m sure you’re aware there’s a lot more to sex than that. The sex is often one way... but that’s ok with both of us. I understand it’s something they need and I do enjoy watching them enjoy it.
