SHOW NOTES: An overview of Violet’s background [0:26]   How Violet decided to become a matchmaker [1:14]   How does actual matchmaking compare to the movies [3:40]   What is the art and science of matchmaking [6:44]   What role does attraction play in compatibility [12:00]   What role does mutual interest and values play in a relationship [16:42]   Do mutual values also mean mutual trust [20:46]   How to handle the check-in conversation [26:47]   If your date is unsure, should you give it more time [35:37]   What are good first messages that tend to get good responses [40:34]   The best (and worst) dating advice Violet has received [43:27]   RESOURCES: Violet Lim’s Company, Lunch Actually Group Violet Lim’s Instagram QUOTES: “It's nice to have common interests, but it's not going to make or break a relationship.” [23:18]   “Building trust and respect takes time. And from what we have seen so far, it usually takes between five to seven dates.” [28:03]   “Are you comfortable having the 'check-in' conversation with the other person? If you are not comfortable to even broach this subject, that could be a red flag.” [32:32]   “If you're in the right relationship with the right person, that person would be very invested in your emotions and wants to make you happy and see you smile.” [37:40]   “You need to make your intentions clear at some point. If the other person's intentions are totally different than yours, then you need to ascertain at that point, ‘What do I want?’” [38:40]   “As much as we love the other person and we want to support their dreams, goals, and aspirations – it's more important that we love ourselves more.”  [40:02]   “When dating, be the best version of yourself – just like when you go on a job interview. Prepare and put your best foot forward.”  [48:38]   “My best advice for singles would be two things: one is having the right mindset, and two is having a positive attitude.” [50:32]   “Nobody wants to go on a date with someone who complains about everything under the sun. The worst thing that you can do on a date is to complain.” [50:35]
