Matchmaking & Date Coaching Service In fact, her grandmother once conducted Greek coffee readings to predict the romantic future for her clients.
Maria Avgitidis is the owner of Agape Match, a matchmaking firm based in NYC, which caters to New Yorkers and Greek- American singles. As a fourth generation matchmaker and professional dating coach, her clients seek out relationship advice and tips and tricks to proper dating etiquette to find and introduce them to their perfect match. Her dating expertise has been featured in numerous publications, including Esquire, MSN, Reuters, CBS, Seventeen, The Hellenic Voice, AOL, and many others. Her success as a matchmaker has gained national recognition and awarded best matchmaking service in New York City by CBS News. She was also awarded as a finalist for best matchmaker, most innovative company, and best dating site design at the 2012 iDate Awards. Maria Avgitidis followed in the footsteps of the women in her family, all of whom share a sixth sense about love and relationships. Just as she tells most, she didn’t pick matchmaking, matchmaking picked her! When Maria was younger, one of her aunts taught her that while we all have intuition, few have the ability to tap into it. For those who do, matchmaking comes naturally, and given her lineage, it’s not surprising that Maria has quite a knack for it. In fact, her first match was in kindergarten between two classmates —who ended up dating all through elementary school, middle school and most of high school. Since then, scores of couples have spawned through one of Maria’s introduction, many of which have led to engagements and marriage! (and babies!)
In addition to understanding her intuition, Maria is an astute observer of how various personality types interact with each other. Together these skills allow her to find and nurture romantic relationships for her clients. Interested in being set up by Maria? Go to the Agape Match website: http://agapematch.com
