A traditional dating agency works in a vastly different way to online dating and has a much more personal approach with your own matchmaker working with your preferences in mind, searching for your potential partners. This saves you time, money, and heartache as all members are ID checked and vetted before joining.
Avenues was launched in the 1990s, way before internet dating appeared in the UK and is a personal matchmaking service for over 50s, a world away from connecting with strangers through the internet. It is a highly personal and very human service that centres around you, working with an experienced and professional Personal Matchmaker, who will get to know you thoroughly and perhaps as importantly, will get to know too, the type of partner you would really suit. It is also very confidential and private, with you being supported throughout by your Personal Matchmaker and treated as a highly valued individual rather than just a profile name or number.
Most of our clients come to us and say that they have already tried online
dating, but because of bad experiences or safety fears they realise that it's
not for them. Fake profiles, fraudsters, violence, blackmail, extortion – sadly,
we have heard it all. Operating in a very different way, here at Avenues Dating
we get to know you through an in-depth interview process that enables us to
then capture the real you in the complimentary dating profile we will draft
for you together with your photographs. After this, we begin an extensive
search of our database to connect you with individuals that we feel will
fit really well with you for a potential future relationship.
Your profile and photographs are always totally private between you and your
Personal Matchmaker, they will never be seen on any public website and only
shared with carefully vetted members with whom we think you may have a
connection and on some membership levels – only once you have said yes
to their profile first.
All of our members will have been personally interviewed and vetted to ensure that they meet our strict membership criteria. We set the bar quite high to ensure that Avenues Dating has the quality of an exclusive members club and we get to know every single member, so that we can recommend you to others of similar backgrounds to your own. Almost all of our members are comfortably off and you will see that careful thought and planning has gone into every match by your personal matchmaker, one of the reasons that we have enjoyed so many successes over the years and become one of the UK’s oldest and most trusted dating brands.
We check everyone out very carefully; their ID (we always insist on photographic evidence), their residency and who they live with, we search for any record of involvement in fraud or any type of money crime globally and look for other evidence of crime. So you can be confident that we know the person well and are able to recommend them to you wholeheartedly in every instance. Safer dating is a cause that all members of the Dating Agency Association get behind and it is always at the very forefront of the minds of our Matchmakers, so you can date with confidence, knowing that our database is probably one of the most carefully checked in the whole of the dating industry.
Because of the quality and highly personal nature of our service, it does cost
more than online dating, although if you choose a high end online service and
pay monthly for over a year, then the Avenues Dating service may actually be
cheaper. However, with Avenues Dating you’ll be getting our in-depth interview
and profiling, then other vetted individuals recommended to you by your own
personal matchmaker, who will be there to speak with and to support you on
along your dating journey.
When compared to our competitors within personal matchmaking for over 50s, we
know that we offer excellent value for money. In a recent survey, our membership
options were all considerably better value than the UK average and typically
just a fraction of the cost of many London based matchmaking agencies - great
news and might be a little surprising to many.
With Avenues Dating, taking the next step is simple and straightforward. We are open from 9am until 9pm most days, including the weekend and most Bank Holidays. You can call us on 0800 644 4170 or fill in our contact form on this website and one of our friendly Membership Advisers will get back to you as soon as they’re next free, to talk you through our over 50s matchmaking service, without any obligation or pressure. They will answer honestly any questions you may have. It could be the start of changing your life for the better, so please make that call or complete our enquiry form whilst it’s at the forefront of your mind – right now!
Safer And Risk Free Dating: Are you looking for that perfect partner for a wonderful new relationship? If so, Avenues is a very well established traditional, off line dating agency which has been introducing people over 50 and including those 60 and 70 plus, very successfully over past years, since our formation in 1995. How we work – finding a new partner the Avenues way, means that we never compromise our standards, in terms of the quality of members and our personal service provision to our members.
Every Member Interviewed & Vetted: In these days of uncertainty about the safety of online dating, it is refreshing to find a credible alternative with a strong human element to it. Through Avenues Dating, you are assured that everyone you meet will first have been vetted and interviewed, so you can be sure they really are who they say they are.
Excellent Value For Money: Our over 50s dating service works in a way that is heavily people focused and very personal, but that doesn’t have to mean that it is expensive. We are based in rural Warwickshire, rather than in London or the South where office space is at a greater premium and consequently, we keep our costs low as possible.
Our Initial Meeting With You: We will arrange a consultation appointment to get to know you. We will then ask you to provide us with photographic proof of ID and at least 2 current photographs. The next step is then creating your complimentary matchmaking profile, which we will ask you to approve before the matchmaking gets underway. When a potential match has been found we send you the details in a confidential email or if preferred, by post.
We believe that the most important aspect of the matchmaking process is that very first conversation with us. That's the start of our relationship with you and helping you to find a new partner. We want to make it as easy as we possibly can for you and see the real you, as you are today. Our interview process is very friendly and informal, whilst we build a comprehensive picture of you. Only knowing you in depth can enable us to properly understand you and the hopes and dreams you have for the future, in order for us to begin to seek out that perfect partner from our extensive database from every corner of the UK.
