Her Business Magazine - February 2008

Using a professional service to help find a compatible companion is fast becoming the norm as pressured business, professional and sports people increasingly turn to specialists for advice.

"What these people lack is time." says Sasha Madarasz. They are mostly putting long hours into a career which may not offer them many opportunities to meet someone compatible.

"All of these people are motivated, positive and competent, but as someone once said - you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince!"

By using a specialist service, clients of Sasha's newly - established Two's Company are meeting only pre-screened potential partners.

Sasha interviews every one of her clients personally so that she can be confident that all clients meet only people with common outlooks and interests. She is well suited to doing this after six years managing a database of 9000 people to provide candidates for television, film, modelling and photographic work.

"Relationships are about chemistry in the end," says Sasha, "and it's true that sometimes opposites attract, but you are much more likely to find what you're looking for quickly when you are spending your precious time interacting with partners that have been professionally researched and selected as being compatible.

"Any stigma there may once have been about using a 'dating agency' seem to have gone," says Sasha. "Most of our clients are well used to using professionals for many aspects of their life, so as to make best use of their time, and they're simply looking at the most efficient way of finding enjoyable company.

"Their common characteristic is a very busy, pressed lifestyle, and a determination to have an enjoyable social life as well."
