According to Radboud Visser, everyone is looking for love. And he should know. After all, Visser is Managing Director of People & Relationships and NOBCO-certified coach. Hence the question: what is the state of love in the Netherlands?
"With love, things are not so good at the moment. Too many people long for it. And that doesn't make life more fun," Visser knows. "Because don't we all want a partner with whom it clicks? To be happy together and enjoy life? But there are about 2.5 million singles walking around in the Netherlands in the meantime."
All in house
Today's singles don't have it easy. And sometimes it seems like we just haven't come across 'the right one'. Radboud sees it differently: "If it was so easy, it wouldn't be so difficult. After all, there are a few million singles in the Netherlands. So you could bump into him or her at any moment. But in practice, it does not work that way. Because nobody has a 'I am single' sign hanging on their stomach. And you don't want to date the first the best. Because there is so much choice, we therefore often choose nothing. Or the wrong one."
Searching for the right partner
"At Mens & Relatie, we come to your home for a comprehensive intake interview and then select a partner that suits someone based on their own needs. Then the introductions follow. Only when it turns out that there is no mutual click and they will therefore not continue together, we continue the search for a new potential partner. In this way, we prevent our clients from losing sight of the wood for the trees and make sure they only meet candidates who, like them, are seriously looking for a long-term relationship," Visser explains.
"Mens & Relatie has the right expertise for that. With two GZ psychologists, an Applied Psychologist, an educator, a lifestyle coach and thirty matchmakers, we can assist you in all areas. Many of our clients need only one of these disciplines. We take a good look at that. Then we work with that. And because we really know who you are and can therefore advise and guide you very specifically and match you very well, the chances of success with us are so high".
Moreover, after a successful match, Mens & Relatie has the knowledge to help the new relationship move forward. "This is important," Visser continues. "Because if someone has previously been in a relationship for 25 years, for example, starting a new relationship can be quite difficult for a while. For Mens & Relatie, it's daily business, so here too we can help where necessary."
Unique concept
What sets Mens & Relatie apart from other Dutch relationship mediation agencies is its personal, thorough and discreet approach, taking it just a few steps further.
To this end, it has developed a unique concept that goes deeper into personality. Specifically, it focuses not only on a candidate's strengths but also on his or her weaknesses. "We support our candidates in this with love and attention, coaching, e-coaching, webinars, workshops and with lots of matching. Moreover, for matching in domestic and abroad a network of reputable matchmakers to work with. Thus, we offer a lot of different opportunities for our candidates to succeed and achieve a high level of satisfaction."
Distinction Success Award
Visser proudly continues, "Mens & Relatie has therefore been named the best relationship mediation agency in the Netherlands by the National Business Success Award. In addition, Mens & Relatie has been named The Best Matchmaking Agency several times by Benelux Enterprise Award."
