Look through the yellow pages. To use the yellow pages, navigate to YellowPages.com (found in the Resources section), enter your zip code and the keyword "matchmaker."

Try an online matchmaking site such as eHarmony.com. If your search for a matchmaker in your area yields unsatisfactory results, try your luck online. Online matchmaking sites are perfect for those who are too shy to involve others in their dating lives, or those who have busy careers. You can enter your preferred traits for your mate, and get results for people to contact through a quick online search.

Ask close family or friends. Though you may cringe at the thought of involving your mother in your dating life, she might be a very helpful matchmaker. As the one who has observed you from birth, she has firsthand knowledge of your character. Let her know that you're interested in finding someone. You might also suggest that she recruit your aunt who lives in another city. She might be able to introduce men or women who are different than those in your area.
