How early do you disclose your family situation and financial situation?
Matchmakers require you to disclose all of this information upfront, which I assume is then shared with all prospective matches.
I've recently realized that my sweet spot for dating is through offline meetup events, especially those where I get a chance to speak. I've made at least one connection in these offline settings, but have had basically no success with OLD (Online Dating), possibly due to a lack of effort. Crucially, in these offline settings, they don't know my full situation upfront, such as how many children I have.
Now, when I go on dates with these single women, sometimes we hit it off and sometimes we don't. Unlike the matchmaker process, I don't go in disclosing a laundry list about myself. The key things Asian matchmakers typically look for are: age, assets, income, previous marriage, and children. I disclose none of that unless asked. By the second date, no one has asked me for my income or assets. However, by the second or third date, if the vibe is right, I will casually share some information about my child, allowing them to assess the situation for themselves.
What do you guys do?
