TOP DATING TIPS. ALWAYS contact at least two or three dating agencies before making a decision to join one. Ask for copy a of a contract BEFORE attending an interview and read it. Does it guarantee a minimum number of introductions and what happens if they fail, you could have just two introductions a year and your membership extended for ever! Some professional introduction agencies will charge you over £1000 if you cancel the next day, and some make members sign a legal declaration forbidding them to make negative comments about them to anyone even to your sister! Read it well. We know of one introduction agency for professionals that used to guarantee just one personal introduction within six months for your fee of £12K. Another bespoke introduction agency guarantees just two personal introductions in your entire membership (neither are ABIA accredited). As in all walks of life there are good dating agencies and unfortunately some rather dubious ones. A good professional introduction agency will greatly enhance your chances of finding a partner.
