Who arranges my date? |
|
As we find people
we believe to be suited to your requirements, we’ll contact
you with their profiles. |
|
You can rest
assured that each person we recommend to you will have been
thoroughly vetted by Guys 'n' Gals. |
|
Once you’ve
decided that you would like to meet another member, we pass
on your profile to them and if they’re happy to hear from
you, contact numbers will be provided. At no time will any
of your contact details be passed on to a prospective match
without your full consent. |
|
We will ask you
if you'd rather call/text/email your prospective date
yourself or we can ask them to contact you. If you'd prefer
us to make the date arrangements on your behalf, then that
would be our pleasure. |
|
We would advise you to chat on the phone with your selected date
prior to meeting in person. This gives you a better idea of
them and makes that all important first meeting far more
relaxed. |
|
Before going on
your date we strongly advise you to read the
safe dating tips or call us before
you make any arrangements and we’ll gladly go through them
with you. |
|
After you’ve
spoken to or dated another member, it would be great to get
your comments. We can also obtain feedback from them, if you
wish. |
|
All you have to
do now is contact us and we’ll do
the rest. |

Online dating - The risks |
|
Online dating for many is fine. A lot of our online dating
clients seem happy to accept that several of the photo's
shown online are probably 10 years out of date and may in
some cases not even be of the person themselves. Many people
lie about their height, particularly men, weight is a
favourite untruth with both men and women, income, where
they live, age, the list goes on and on. |
|
Of all the downfalls of online dating, the biggest in our
opinion is your personal safety and financial security. Not
only are you putting yourself at extreme risk when meeting
an unknown person from an online dating website, your also
opening yourself up to the possibility of that person
trying too and in many cases succeeding in,
fraudulently obtaining money from you. |
|
|
|
Why do you prefer to visit my home? |
|
We like to meet you where your most comfortable and that's
generally relaxed at home. We want to learn about the life
you lead, your passions, aims, dreams and goals. |
|
Meeting you in your own home also goes a
long way to confirming your true identity. |
|
Security is a huge part of our service.
We don't apologise for being a little 'over the top' when it
comes to the safety of our members. |
|
When we recommend you to one of our
existing clients, both you and your fellow Guys 'n' Gals
member will have the
reassurance of knowing that we have thoroughly qualified
the other person, leaving you to enjoy each others company
without the worry that is associated with other forms of
dating. |
|
We will also require 2 forms of identity
1) Passport or Driving licence 2) Current utility bill. |
|
|
|
I'd prefer us not to meet at a
my home - is this ok? |
|
If you'd rather we didn't visit your
home, then naturally this is not a problem. We do feel
however that you'll probably be more relaxed in your own
home environment. In this case we'll meet in a mutually
convenient location and will still need to see 2 forms of
identity 1) Passport/Driving licence 2) A current utility bill. |
|
At no time will we accept members without
first meeting them in person, as this goes a long way to
confirming a persons genuine identity. |
|
If we are not entirely happy that you are
who you say you are, or we believe you're not currently
available to date (your in a relationship), your membership
application will be declined. |

Client
advertising |
|
As soon
as the
fees are fully paid, either monthly or by you taking
advantage of the great discounts available for upfront
payment, advertising, if required will commence. |
|
In many cases advertising is unnecessary
as a suitable 'match' will have already been found (more
info). |
|
Please note that advertising is limited to 6 classified
adverts (6 newspaper or 3 newspaper + 3 magazine) placed in
local Somerset publications, this
should be ample to achieve the desired results. |
|
|
|
Why do you charge a
consultation fee? |
|
There is an initial consultation fee of £29 payable prior to
our meeting. This is refunded in full when you're ready to
join us. We charge this fee to recover some of the costs
incurred. |
|
Payment of this fee also proves your
serious intent. This first meeting is a large expense to us and
can take as long as 3 hours, if you live 30 - 50 miles from
us. £29 is merely asked for as a sign of good faith. Once
paid we know we are not wasting your time or our own. |
|
This meeting will take around an hour, during which we will
provide you with our honest advice as to how our matchmaking
service would work for you. |
|
We'll answer your concerns and questions about the current
local dating scene. You may have been in a long term
relationship and feel, quite understandably, a little
'rusty'. As you personal matchmakers, we can show you the
way forward. |
|
Whether you decide to join us or not, you will have received
some excellent personal dating advice on how you can move
forward in the search for Mr or Ms Right. |
|
You will be under absolutely no pressure or obligation to
join us. |
|
Don't forget, when you join us your £29
will be refunded from your membership
fee in full. |
|
|
|
What is the Dating help
line? |
|
This is a number
which is available for you to use at any reasonable hour. |
|
For example, you
may have arranged to meet a date and are unsure what to
wear. Call us and we'll guide you. |
|
You may be in the
middle of a date and want a little advice, call us. |
|
You may be trying
to decide on the best location to meet your date, have a
chat with us. |
|
The morning after
a date you may want to talk about how the date went and what
should be your next step. |
|
You may wish us
to call your date and find out how they felt about you and
whether or not they'd like to see you again. |
|
There will be
many reasons for you to use our dating help line and it will
be answered at most reasonable times. It will also be
available during most evenings and weekends. |
|
We want to give
you the best possible service and to that end we will NOT
simply close down at 5pm like most companies. |
|
|
|
Do you have a brochure? |
We do have a brochure containing
information about our services. It's content can be
found here.
|
|
If you'd like a brochure,
email us your details and
we'll put a copy in the post. |
|
|
|
How do you know someone really is available? |
|
A difficult question to answer. We do however, have our ways
of making 99% certain that each client is available. As you
have read above, we go to great lengths to qualify all our
members and are as satisfied as we can be that they are not currently in a
relationship. |
|
We will decline a membership application
if we believe a person to be unavailable. |
|
|
|
When do you work for me, is it just part-time? |
Many dating services are only part-time, in other
words operating only when the agency principle
finishes their main job. This is fine and there are
several good 'part-time' agencies around the UK.
However Guys 'n' Gals is NOT part-time. In
fact it's true to say that working on your behalf is
all absorbing. This is what we do for a living and
as such are able to dedicate ourselves completely to
finding your perfect partner.
|
|
|
|
Do you accept everyone as a Client? |
|
There
will also be occasions when we simply have too many clients
and will have to come back to you when our portfolio is
lower in number. |
|
It's all about giving you the very best
service, if we have to many clients we will be unable to
give each one the time they need and deserve. |
|
There are also rare occasions when we
feel it necessary to decline a membership application for
other reasons, as detailed elsewhere in our faq's. |
|
|
|
Do you ever remove a member from your portfolio? |
|
This will only occur were there has been a qualified
complaint from another member, or we are asked to by
the authorities. Both cases are very unlikely, particularly
the later. |
|
In the event of a complaint from one
member about another, this will be thoroughly investigated
anonymously (without causing embarrassment) and acted upon
fairly. |
