It is my pleasure to write a testimonial for Michal, the senior Matchmaker for Three Day Rule in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. We started working together before COVID-19 hit. When the pandemic arrived here, she worked with her company to make a transition to virtual dating. In a very short time, Michal matched me with two women, both of whom had the important qualities that I had told Michal that I was looking for in a lifelong partner. Beyond that, Michal was able to intuit or sense deeper or composite qualities that I needed in a partner - qualities that I never described explicitly to her. To anyone of any age who is serious about finding a partner, I categorically recommend working with Michal. She is perceptive, understanding, incisive, and genuine. If you are looking for someone who is both talented and skilled at matchmaking, look no further.

I can't say enough great things about Three Day Rule. I became a paid member in October of 2018. After my first match, my Matchmaker had to move to New York because of family concerns. I was so impressed with how Three Day Rule handled the transition. Not only did they make sure there was a continuity of care, but they handed me over to Michal, who is (in my personal opinion) the best Matchmaker out there. Michal was so thoughtful in getting to know me, in understanding what I was looking for, and in pushing me to go deeper and rethink my approach to dating. I've tried other matchmaking services before, but Three Day Rule is by far superior. The personal, caring, committed approach is second to none. While none of the matches have led to a relationship, the men Michal set me up with were a breath of fresh air. I had met so many men through online dating, but none of them were even remotely compatible. I simply could not see a long-term relationship with them. It had been so long since I met people that I actually wanted to see for a second or third time. On the other hand, the men I met through Three Day Rule were looking for serious relationships. They were ready to start their lives and were willing to date with some intention. They were complete gentlemen and, although we weren't ultimately suited for each other, were so much fun to get to know. I also truly appreciated the conversations I had with Michal after every single date. She listened intently to my feedback and challenged me or comforted me, depending on the situation. It is like having a best friend whose only concern in life is to find you love. If you are on the fence, I hope you take the plunge!

As someone who was totally disenchanted by the dating scene and no longer confident in my abilities to find myself a partner, Erika was the breath of fresh air I so desperately needed. She is like having a supportive best friend, cheerleader and dating coach all rolled into one. I felt completely at ease to discuss anything about my dating life with her. Knowing she had my back throughout our time together gave me the chance to relax a little bit and trust the process. Whenever I would start to overthink things and get anxious, I could always count on Erika to take the brunt of my frustrations and get my head back in the game. I honestly think if I didn’t reach out to Three Day Rule I would still be making the same mistakes and cheating myself of the opportunities that are out there, but I just couldn’t see. I am forever grateful to Erika and her team!

I worked with Michal in Philadelphia and had a fantastic experience. I had been dating online for several years and the last three serious relationships I was involved in were a result of online dating. I've had fun with the process, but I found that it really takes a ton of dates and work to find someone worth dating. Still, what I came to realize is that, in order for me to really go the distance with someone, I needed someone truly spectacular. Enter Three Day Rule... When I met Michal, she was incredibly warm and did a great job of extracting the right information from me in order to find not just the type of person I was asking for but the one I really needed. I could see that she was really assessing things on another level. I don't think it always works this way, but all it took was one match for me to get everything I could ever ask for and more (sniff sniff, single tear). Really grateful to Michal and her Three Day Rule team in Philly! I was hesitant about taking the plunge, but grateful I jumped in!

I met Michal years ago and we instantly hit it off. I had dated men from dating apps and by meeting men in person, but with my busy work and social schedules it was difficult to find a connection. I was always a little wary of working with a Matchmaker. Being Indian, I’ve had my fair share of family members, friends, and others in the community attempt to set me up and all of them wildly missing the mark. I’d been on so many blind dates that were so tedious and boring that I was exhausted and didn’t want to date anymore. Michal made the matchmaking process natural, easy, and NOT awkward! I felt totally comfortable and actually looked forward to the dates she set up. Talking with her is like chatting with your best friend, and you can tell that she is really listening. She’s able to go that extra mile and extrapolate meaning from what you say, and makes connections between people you might never have thought of yourself. Most importantly for me, she helped me stay open to a possibility I would have otherwise overlooked and now, thanks to her, I could not be happier. 
 My boyfriend and I are now dating in the time of COVID-19 and when I talk to my single friends I feel so lucky that I have someone so amazing in my life. I am super social and an exercise fanatic so with the social isolation and lack of exercise, it was really nice to be able to lean on one another. Being together almost 24/7 during COVID-19, we certainly learned a lot about each other fast. Then my boyfriend tested COVID-19 positive and we were forced apart for what felt like forever. Even while sick, he made sure to message his friends to buy me groceries and goodies since I was forced to quarantine. He even had my favorite pasta delivered to my place for dinner along with a bottle of wine. He set up movies for us to watch together on FaceTime and when he was finally better he had cleaned his entire house to make sure nothing had residual contamination. I can’t thank Michal enough for finding me such a perfect match!!!

I've worked with Three Day Rule for three years and I've finally found the love of my life! You really have to trust the process. With each match, you learn more about what you are looking for, and more importantly, you learn more about yourself. The coaching I received was not just about dates, but also more about life lessons (overall outlook on life, confidence building, and understanding love languages). Not all of my matches were great, but they were good matches that really pushed me out of my comfort zone. With each match, I found characteristics that were similar to mine but just not exactly what I was looking for. I have worked with four Three Day Rule Matchmakers, and Michal was my last Matchmaker. Michal is very honest, cuts through all of the bs, and ultimately wants you to find someone you can see yourself with for the rest of your life. She is EXTREMELY passionate about her job, works hard for her clients, and it shows. She really did push me out of my comfort zone, which was a good thing (after all, if I was doing things correctly, then I would not need a Matchmaker!). In the first thirty minutes, we discussed past relationships, where I could improve, how to boost my confidence, past mistakes, and what I am ultimately looking for. None of that "someone funny, caring, nice, etc." packaged responses, but really, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? The time came for my first match from Michal. After each date with my match, I had a recap with Michal, which I really valued. By the fourth date, I knew Michal had found someone amazing. She is everything I could ask for and more. I do not know how Michal did it, especially after one face to face and a few phone calls and email exchanges, but she was able to see something in the both of us that made us compatible. I am very thankful for what Michal and Three Day Rule has done for me.

I have had a great experience working with Michal and Three Day Rule. As a young professional with a busy schedule who was sick of the online dating scene, Three Day Rule seemed worth a try. Once I started working with Michal I knew I made the right decision. Michal took the time to actually listen to what I was looking for, and was always available to chat. Through the process and with the feedback I received after each match I was able to gain a much better understanding of what I’m looking for in a match, which wouldn’t be possible without Michal. I can tell Michal truly cares about finding the right person for me, and I would highly recommend working with her!

I started working with Erika after 6 months of being single. I had some dating fatigue from the apps and thought it would be a nice to have someone on the lookout for me. There were three parts of the process that I really enjoyed. Number one - the feedback: Erika gave me honest feedback about my pictures and image which turned out greatly magnifying my success with the apps. It's the honest feedback that people close to you won't always give. Erika also knew a lot of people on the apps so I could ask her advice before going out with them. Number two - the support: dating can get stressful and she always responded quickly and positively when I wanted to discuss my dating life. It's also nice after a bad date to know you have a friend in your corner that is extremely qualified to get you an amazing date. Number three - the Dates: all the dates were what I was looking for and good matches with my personality. With the apps you can go on a lot of dates and only be excited for a few, I was excited for pretty much all the dates she set me up on. It's pretty hard to get a perfect match each time, so I would suggest being patient. 6 dates didn't seem like much when I started working with Erika, but I'm glad I spent the extra money and did 6 instead of 3. Overall, Erika became a friend and someone who I will keep in touch with. So far, I haven't met the love of my life, but she put me in a good position to do so.

Michal has made it feel like dating and developing a meaningful connection during COVID-19 are both possible. Options may feel limited because you can't meet people in social settings during this time, and it's easy to feel like you've swiped through the entire world of eligible daters since you can't leave the house. Actually, feeling like I had swiped through the entire world of eligible daters is one of the reasons I started working with Michal anyway, and that was before COVID-19. So in reality, Michal has delivered during COVID-19 what she delivered before COVID-19, better matches who I am more compatible with. Michal has made it feel like just because we're socially locked down, we don't have to be on dating lockdown.

Ed, 38

Michal was amazing. She asked good questions and was very insightful. She clearly listened to me, because I was enthusiastic about all of my matches. She offered a lot of good advice and suggestions that made me approach dating in a much more thoughtful manner. She's incredibly responsive and supportive, and was always available to answer questions and concerns. Working with her was great. I didn't feel like I was dealing with a Matchmaker. I felt like I had made a friend.

Hank, 50

Approaching the idea of hiring a Matchmaker was a difficult but exciting concept for me. The challenges of balancing family, a busy career, and meeting people were daunting and I had not had much success with online dating. Michal made me comfortable with Three Day Rule and the matchmaking process right away and gave me the confidence to move forward. She took the time to learn about where I am in life and where I want to go. She investigated my preferences for appearance, personality, education, location etc, and has found fulfilling matches for me. Michal has offered meaningful guidance on ways to approach the dating process which have increased my comfort level and enjoyment dramatically. I am thrilled to have partnered with Michal and Three Day Rule on this journey and I can’t wait to see where it leads.

Jonas, 50

Simply put - Michal was meant to be a Matchmaker. Michal’s warm and energetic personality immediately enabled me to feel at ease and open up. In our first meeting, I felt as if I knew her for years - telling my journey and the type of person I’m looking for to share my life. She has a natural ability to connect with people and you can feel her passion for bringing people together to find love and companionship.

Jared, 35

Erika has not only done an unbelievably good job of introducing me to a string of amazing women, but she has also done a great job of listening to my feedback and nudging me to expand my horizons. Overall, it's been a very healthy balance for me, and I'm excited to continue working with her.

It was a pleasure working with my Three Day Rule Matchmaker. From the moment we met I knew we would get along well. She listens and seeks to understand with true authenticity. We quickly and easily engaged in meaningful discussions about my goals and wish list for a relationship. She personally met with potential matches and screened thoroughly for the person who presented himself as the perfect fit for me. My Matchmaker never settled and had my best interest in mind during the entire process. In summary, Three Day Rule is caring, authentic, and goes above and beyond for their clients.

Lena, 56

I was extremely skeptical of the matchmaking process and fell more into the idea simply based on the energy, optimism, and positive attitude of my Matchmaker, Erika. She was a pleasure to work with and made the process feel more like two friends gabbing, which inherently made me more comfortable! Within a few months, I met my current boyfriend through Three Day Rule and am still very happily and exclusively dating him. The experience itself was eye-opening and helped me out of my comfort zone and on dates I may not have pursued through an online dating profile.

Madeline, 37

When I signed up for Three Day Rule, I was coming off a self-imposed 5 year break from dating. My first date was, in a way, with Michal herself. Michal is a great listener - she really takes things in and made a great effort to get to know me and tease out what I wanted in a potential partner. Over the next few months we would spend hours talking over not only my matches and dating, but also our lives. Michal struck a tricky balance between addressing what I said I wanted and what I was not saying explicitly, but needed anyway. As an example, my first match did not satisfy all the "criteria" I had outlined in the beginning, but he was extremely personable and so incredibly kind - a perfect first date for someone getting back into the dating scene after a long absence. Michal guided me through that entire relationship, from the morning we chatted about that first date, to helping me come up with replies to ambiguous texts. Each subsequent match was clearly carefully deliberated. I could tell Michal made an effort to use my feedback from prior matches in selecting the next one. As the months passed, my idea of what was truly important to me in a partner had crystallized into something slightly different and more defined than the original; I'm not sure I would have gotten there without Michal's help. I'm thankful that she made dating feel fun and safe again.

Rachel, 35

I was hesitant about matchmaking, but once I met Erika I knew I was in good hands. She was easy to talk to and really took the time to get to know me and what it is I am looking for. She didn't just throw matches at me, she took the time to make sure my matches were with quality men. I met some great guys that I would not have met otherwise. If you're sick of the online dating world, I would definitely recommend Erika and Three Day Rule.
