Time to take it slower . . .

The New Year is here, and everyone’s talking about resolutions, fresh starts, and all the things they want to accomplish in the next 12 months. But here’s the thing: while it’s tempting to dive headfirst into a whirlwind of new goals and ambitions, sometimes the best way forward is actually to slow down.

Take a moment. Breathe. And think about where you want to be by the time next Christmas rolls around. Sure, professional growth and personal development are always top of mind, but have you thought about where you want to be in your love life?

By slowing down, you give yourself the chance to really focus on what you want and who you want to be with. Rather than hopping from date to date, take the time to reflect on what you're looking for in a partner, and set intentions for the kind of relationship you want to build. This will help you make better, more meaningful connections—and ultimately set you up for success in the long term.

If you’re single and actively dating in New Zealand, you're probably already familiar with how challenging it can be to meet people who are genuinely interested in long-term relationships. The fast-paced, swipe-right culture of many dating apps can leave you feeling like you’re just another face in the crowd. But if you slow down and focus on quality, you can actually put yourself in a better position to meet singles who are truly looking for what you want—something real, something lasting.

That’s where we at Two’s Company come in. Instead of spending endless hours on dating apps or feeling frustrated by bad dates, a matchmaker can help you focus your energy on meeting compatible people who are serious about finding a relationship. It’s a way to be intentional with your dating life, rather than just hoping for the best. We have been connecting like-minded singles since 2003, and we take the time to understand who you are and what you're looking for in a partner.

So, let’s take a step back and ask yourself the big questions: where do you want to be next Christmas—and most importantly, with who?

Do you want to still be searching for someone who ticks all the boxes, or do you want to be with someone who shares your values, your dreams, and your vision for the future? If you're serious about finding a partner who’s on the same page, now is the time to start building the foundation for that relationship.

In New Zealand, there are plenty of amazing singles out there who are also looking for genuine connections. But sometimes, the challenge is finding them. 

If you’re tired of the casual flings and want to put real effort into finding a meaningful relationship, consider sending us an inquiry.

Here’s to a year of intentional dating!
