Matchmaker Insight · Two people who "don't believe in matchmaking"

Xiaohua Chen uncovered James's true concern:

Matchmaker Notes · Xiaohua Chen · MM008

"James wrote on his form that he 'doesn't really believe in matchmaking,' but he joined because a married friend recommended it. He wasn't reluctant to search — he was afraid of meeting someone inauthentic. Lily is direct and unperformed — exactly the genuineness he needed. During the introduction, I didn't oversell; I simply told him Lily's true style."

Cross-City Framework

In Their Words

— Lily, 33, Singapore

"Chen Xiaohua didn't oversell Lily. She simply told me, 'She's very direct — you'll like that.' It genuinely made me look forward to meeting her."

"Lily's enthusiasm sometimes gives the impression she isn't serious. I helped James understand her own way of being earnest."
