Our philosophy based on excellence leads us to a work methodology based on 6 phases, always linked to close collaboration with our client, being a dynamic process with continuous feedback.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

We are people with strong principles. We are honest when accepting or declining a match. Validation is fundamental at AURA Matchmaking. In this initial phase, we analyze the target profile of our client and assess whether or not we can fulfill our commitment. Validation determines whether the match is accepted or rejected. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our professional matchmaking method evaluates 47 scientific compatibility criteria across 8 key dimensions:<\/p>\n

1. Fundamental values \u200b\u200b(family, children, religion, ambition)<\/p>\n

2. Personality (introversion\/extroversion, conflict management, emotional expression)<\/p>\n

3. Life project (family calendar, location, professional ambitions)<\/p>\n

4. Communication style (frequency of contact, depth, need for space)<\/p>\n

5. Lifestyle (social life, sports, food, travel, hobbies)<\/p>\n

6. Intimacy and affection (libido, love languages, exclusivity)<\/p>\n

7. Practical compatibility (finances, tasks, in-laws)<\/p>\n

8. Chemistry and attraction (physical, intellectual, emotional connection)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We only present you with candidates who have 85%+ compatibility on the criteria that matter MOST to you. We’re not looking for perfection, but for real, lasting compatibility based on scientific psychology. <\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The typical timeline for the matchmaking process is:<\/p>\n

– Week 1-2: Complete psychological assessment (3 hours) + definition of criteria<\/p>\n

– Weeks 3-6: Dedicated active search (20-30 hours) in our exclusive network of 5,000+ verified profiles<\/p>\n

– Weeks 5-8: First qualified presentation<\/p>\n

Average time to first appointment: 4-6 weeks from initial assessment<\/p>\n

Average time to find a stable partner: 4-8 months (3-6 introductions)<\/p>\n

89% of our clients in Barcelona and Madrid find a serious partner in less than 12 months, compared to only 12% on dating apps.<\/p>\n

Each candidate goes through 5 layers of verification before any presentation:<\/p>\n

1. Mandatory face-to-face interview <\/strong>(2-3 hours) with a registered psychologist + ID verification<\/p>\n

2. Professional verification:<\/strong> Verified LinkedIn profile, current company, financial solvency<\/p>\n

3. Personal references: <\/strong>Minimum 2 verified contacts (friends, ex-partners)<\/p>\n

4. Background:<\/strong> Search of public records, social networks, delinquency<\/p>\n

5. Psychological evaluation:<\/strong> Personality test, emotional availability, red flags<\/p>\n

Guarantee<\/strong>: If you discover that someone lied about something verifiable (marital status, children, job, age), that submission does NOT count towards your fee.<\/p>\n

Zero fake profiles. Zero ghosting. 100% real people committed to serious relationships. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A lack of initial chemistry is normal. Only 30% of first dates have “instant chemistry”. <\/p>\n

Our post-appointment protocol:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. In-depth analysis 24-48 hours later: <\/strong>What worked? What didn’t? Was there minimal attraction? <\/p>\n

2. Feedback from the other candidate as well<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Joint decision: <\/strong>Second date? Next presentation? <\/p>\n

4. Refinement of criteria based on learning<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Additional coaching <\/strong>if we detect self-sabotaging patterns (nervousness, unrealistic expectations, fear of intimacy)<\/p>\n

We don’t guarantee “chemistry” (impossible), but we DO guarantee:<\/p>\n

\u2705 85%+ compatibility in values \u200b\u200band personality
\u2705 Verified and emotionally available person
\u2705 Coaching to help you be your best self
\u2705 Continuous learning that improves every presentation<\/p>\n

That’s why we include 3-8 presentations according to the plan, not just one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The BIG difference between professional matchmaking<\/strong> and traditional agencies: we work on your personal transformation, not just the logistics of dates.<\/p>\n

What our psychological coaching includes:<\/p>\n

BEFORE each appointment (45 min):<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Identifying specific fears\/insecurities
– Role-playing difficult situations
– Anxiety management techniques
– Personalized conversational strategy<\/p>\n

AFTER each appointment (30-45 min):<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Analysis of self-destructive patterns
– Identification of unconscious self-sabotage
– Improvement plan for the next presentation<\/p>\n

Common blocks we work on:<\/strong>
– Anxious attachment (fear of abandonment, constant need for validation)
– Avoidant attachment (difficulty with intimacy, sabotage when there is a connection)
– Extreme perfectionism (“no one is good enough”)
– Comparison with exes
– Low self-esteem
– Relational trauma (difficult divorce, past infidelity)<\/p>\n

For severe blocks: We refer to specialized EMDR or cognitive-behavioral therapy (additional cost).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Philosophy: We don’t introduce you to “the perfect person” who will erase your problems, but we help you be your BEST VERSION when you meet someone compatible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

<\/p>\n

YES. You have total veto power before each presentation. <\/strong><\/p>\n

How it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Your matchmaker introduces you to the candidate<\/strong> BEFORE the date (photos, profile, why you are compatible)<\/p>\n

2. YOU decide: <\/strong>“Yes, I’m interested” \/ “I’m not sure” \/ “I’m not interested”<\/p>\n

3. If you decline for a valid reason<\/strong>, it does NOT count as a submission of your quota<\/p>\n

Valid reasons (do not count):<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2705 Zero basic physical attraction
\u2705 Objective red flag (he smokes and you hate tobacco)
\u2705 Fundamental incompatibility (he wants children now, you don’t)
\u2705 Bad timing (you just ended a relationship)<\/p>\n

Questionable motives<\/strong> (we talked):<\/p>\n

\u26a0\ufe0f “I don’t like his haircut” (changeable)
\u26a0\ufe0f “I prefer him 2cm taller” (being compatible in everything)
\u26a0\ufe0f “I don’t know, something doesn’t convince me” (could be self-sabotage)<\/p>\n

Golden Rule:<\/strong> If they meet 85%+ of the fundamental criteria plus basic physical attraction, we recommend giving them a chance at least once. Real chemistry is only discovered in person. <\/p>\n

Reasonable limit: If you reject 10 presentations in a row for superficial reasons, we need to have an honest conversation about unrealistic expectations or fear of commitment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
