Give It a Chance!

There’s been three weddings, two engagements, and heaps of partnerships. She’s not J Lo. She’s Sasha Madarasz - owner of Two’s Company, an Auckland based dating agency. While she’s told these are good statistics for only having been in business for 4 years, the weddings and engagements aren’t what Sasha talks about when asked if she has any interesting stories about Two’s Company. What she finds most interesting is that all of these successful couples, every last one of them, had to be talked into a second date. They just didn’t do it for each other the first time around. The thing is, all humans want instant gratification. Some people are better at actually working for their success, but in the end, if we could all snap our fingers and instantly get what we deserve, we would.

This attitude applies to dating as well. Sasha has found single adults work for years getting a picture in their head of the perfect partner. They create this imaginary perfect partner’s personality and image, and build them from the ground up like Dr. Frankenstein. Then, the magical day happens when they actually go on real date, and mentally, there’s a third wheel because “imaginary partner” is tagging along to play “WHO DO YOU LIKE BETTER?” Things go well at first, he or she likes sports, and this fits “Specification A”, but then, all of a sudden, he/she mentions they prefer red wine, and IT’S ALL OVER. Date finished. Imaginary partner is throwing back a celebratory glass of champagne.

The clients at Two’s Company are not desperate. They’re not uneducated or suffering from awkward social ticks that send other people screaming in the opposite direction. They are, for lack of a better word, “normal” adults. They’re successful, professional, funny, good looking, sane people who are single by circumstance and wanting to date. The clients at Two’s Company are 1,200+ deep. Don’t ever let anyone tell you Auckland doesn’t have any good single people. It’s rubbish!

Sasha is good at her job, because she listens to her clients. “There isn’t any paper work to fill out at Two’s Company. We talk. You tell me what you would like out of a partner, and I go from there. I can say I’m good at my job because I’ve had three weddings, two engagements, and numerous partnerships. I know I’m good at my job because I had the foresight to convince those people to have second dates. I know to give people a chance” says Sasha. She offers the same advice to you. Pick up the phone this Valentine’s season and be her third engagement!
