    You really need to explain what 'your level' is.

    Interesting to note that responses highlighting the reasons you may not be doing too well with dating have been removed.

    Looks like the thread has been pruned again today.

    I wonder if it has occurred to the OP that women reading his profile are not keen to meet him?

    You shouldn't be paying anything like that amount of money. No wonder you want the perfect person! For £3000 I think I'd be after my dream partner as well, but how is this agency going to magic up the perfect partner.

    For 3 grand I'd expect them to bring me Jennifer Lawrence, with Barack Obama chauffeuring us around!

    My PA did ask me why I thought she was not a good match for me, the first thing I said was: I do not think I am the right person for her, but I need to start by saying I have never worked with a PA before, obviously my PA wanted more details, and I said I do not think she is up to my level, but I do not think I was much higher than her as well, the reason why I gave this answer is because I did not want to give any offensive opinions. The real reason was I could not find physical attraction, she seemed not well organized for me and quite lazy as well, I do not like lazy people, this was the first impression I had about this lady.
    However if you look back up I did admit I gave to my PA not a good feedback according to what she was expecting, and I did also say I will give the right feedback as soon as I will call her again.
    However, again, if you look back up you can see I did also ask my PA if she was happy with my answers and she said I was doing well, she was happy with that.
    About the 21 days I had to wait to see my first introduction, I do not agree with you, if you are really interested to see a person you take 1hour off work, in dating you need to keep the fire going, in addition she is paying her monthly fee to the agency, as well as I am paying, so it should be in her interest to arrange a date as soon as possible to let the agency know if it yes or no and stop paying…
    Going through the bolded.......
    Wow, so you dont like lazy people, yet you pay someone 3 grand to find you a date? Your in your early thirtys for goodness sake.
    You expect people to take time off work to come and date you? Why?
    Keep the fire going? Your not even starting a spark in them by the looks of it.
    In her interest? She's not at your beck and call. You have an inflated sense of self.
    If you really want an honest comment i really think you need to look to your attitude as has been said before.
    It absolutely comes as no suprrise to me that you cant find a date, you need a long hard look at yourself and untill you do the ladies quite rightly will run a mile.

    Suggestions ? Seriously ? Go out and meet some real people whilst learning something about real life

    Any suggestion according this matter will be very appreciative

    I cannot imagine you will find a lawyer "up to your level" so I'd probably cut your losses at this point.

    Let it go!

    Either be happy within yourself, and with being alone,

    Or get up of your a££ and meet someone off your own bat, that way if they are not up to your standards, you only have yourself to blame!
