Have any men here ever tried a matchmaking service? How did it work and how much did it cost?

I’m a 21[M]. I’m not ugly by any means, but I wouldn’t call myself godly attractive, but I’m at least average or above. I’m fit, blue eyes, I smile a lot, and I dress nice. Not suit and tie but I dress in nice clothes. I keep up with my hygiene too. I mean, I’m not very tall, but I already know and have accepted some girls will have an issue with that.

I’m also not into the whole casual dating thing that’s popular now. I don’t care for hookups. I’m looking for an actual, serious connection.

I really want to pursue a serious relationship, but I really don’t think I’m cut out for OLD. I’ve used tinder, bumble, hinge, you name it. I’ve given it an honest shot, even paid for the premium and some boosts. Out of the 3 years I’ve been on OLD, I’ve matched with a couple people each month. I never get responses. I get it though, I’m not gonna be everybody’s cup of tea and that’s ok. I think OLD isn’t gonna lead anywhere to be honest.

I didn’t limit myself to OLD either. I’m a very outgoing person. I have no problems getting people to laugh. I’ve asked female friends at my college if they had any single friends, but either they don’t know anybody in town, or they’re already in a relationship.

I’ve got my shit together. I’m in school for computer networking making straight A’s. I make around 38k a year after taxes working full time too. Which I know isn’t a lot, but it’s a decent amount for my age. I don’t have a “boring” job. I work as a vet tech. I am building my credit. I’m financially responsible. I put over 50% of my money into savings. I’m not blowing it. I’ve got my own apartment, and I drive a really nice Audi. I’m not stuck up about all of that either. I worked really hard for it so I’m proud, but I’m humble.

I’ve got hobbies. I like working on cars, drifting, racing, and going to see live music. And I have lots of traveling under my belt.

It feels like I’m doing everything I’m supposed to. I’m outgoing, independent, exceeding academically, and financially smart. I just seem to be having no luck. So I was thinking about giving a matchmaking service a shot. I know they’re stupid expensive, but maybe whoever I get matched up with is serious about dating if they’re using a matchmaking service. It would be well worth the money if it leads to something meaningful.
