    The first thing I do when I wake up is make a mental list of all things I have to do that day : I’m very organised ! Then I get up and have my bath．Often my best matchmaking ideas come while I’m in the bath．Sometimes I have a really good idea about who might be good with whom．

    Before I did matchmaking （媒人） , I was a social worker, but I knew I wanted to do something without bosses telling me what to do and that I am good at dealing with people．Also I had seen too many broken marriages and too many people go downhill because they were so lonely．So I gave up my job, did a bit of research and started the matchmaking business in 1970．

    Over the last few years we’ve been doing introductions throughout Europe as well as here in Britain．Europeans went to meet British people．For every 100 people who come to us, about 65 will settle down．We keep going until clients （委托人） find someone that they get on very well with．We’re great triers．Of course there are impossible people, those who will never settle…

    Sometimes I end up giving advice to clients．A few months ago, we had a highly paid scientist with a very nice face, but every woman refused to meet him a second time, It soon became clear that he did not like changing his shirts．So I had to be very honest and frank and told him, “But a woman can’t start to love you if your shirt smells．” The job is most satisfying when I get a call from a couple telling me they have fallen in love．

To all of you at Chinese love links.
I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.
I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don’t know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.
Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicate via e-mails 2-3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.
I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Yun and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry and bring her to the USA under the finance visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.
So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you’re not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.
Sincerely yours,
Arthur
