I paid the money and after the second date meet a very nice man. We had a lot of fun but he was not my soul mate. I tried to reach out to Detroit Singles . Because of their contract I was to be able to ask for more help in finding someone . To may avail I be leave they are out of business , leaving no way to contact them. Be aware of Dating sites. Now I am 75 with a lot of energy and hopefully many years ahead . Where is Mr. Right!! read more

Don't waste your money! I signed up with Detroit Singles 10 weeks ago with high hopes. My experience with the interview process and the sales people was fantastic and despite the high cost (several K's) they absolutely sold me on how exceptional the service would be. There is a 30 minute phone interview followed by a 90 minute in person interview in which you answer all kinds of questions and bring in a list of must haves vs. deal breakers. After this point the good service and high hopes die. After being told how easy it would be to match me I have had no dates. After 6 weeks of silence from the company I called to see what the hold up was and was asked to ease up on simple things like age or height restrictions, after doing that I had one date that was a complete waste of time and didn't meet any of my must haves. After this experience I asked how this happened and found out that my matchmaker doesn't even have my list of must haves. The salesperson never shared it with her, that of course was not the story I was sold when signing up. At this point I have requested a refund and been told they don't do that... of course they don't. 10 weeks in and no matches, no customer service letting me know why it's taking so long or what the issues are in finding a match. This service is a scam, don't fall for it. read more

They take your money without any regard for compatible matches. I went on a date with two women and asked them about their experiences, and they claimed that I - a normal, employed and responsible adult man - was BY FAR their best experience. They had dates with foreigners looking for green cards via a wife, guys with no social skills, and veterans with severe PTSD (no disrespect to our men in uniform). My dates went fine, but there was no connection. That's fine... but I would have liked more than two matches before Detroit Singles vanished with my money. read more

I wasted my money on this place before I found these bad reviews on yelp. I reported them for fraud to my credit card. They say that it is individually match but I think every thing is computerized and they keep passing the same names around. Something ought to be done to stop this company. read more

Detroit Singles - Matchmakers Near Me - Bingham Farms, Michigan

A total rip-off! Was promised quality, like minded professional women that were educated, professional, in great physical shape and mental well being. Was provided the opposite! - Overweight, uneducated, Debbie- owners! They refused to refund my $1000. I didn't go on a single date. read more

DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THIS COMPANY! It is a complete scam! They use high pressure sales tactics to get you to sign on the spot and they have not had any referrals for me that anywhere closely matched what I was looking for! In over a year I only met 2 guys who were completely not my match or met the criteria I was looking for and talked on the phone with one other. I am disputing now and trying to get my money back! Don't fall for it! Do not be deseperate! You will find someone. I still have not but it's ok. This is not the route to take. read more

One of the big selling points to me was they emphasized that most of their clients were not on dating sites. It was expensive, but I figured if it led to something, that would be great. I spelled out some specific requirements that were non-negotiable when I met with them - specifically non-religious and liberal. First date was the exact opposite of my requirements since he was an extremely Christian right winger. It was like they didn't listen to anything from when we met and set me up with the only person they had available. Second date I had seen numerous times on dating sites (even Detroit Singles/Ann Arbor Singles they told me that wasn't the case) and always passed on him because a) the attraction wasn't there and b) he came off just pretty awkward. That was exactly how the date went with the added bonus of him telling me women shouldn't do manly stuff like get tattoos, have short hair, or play golf. After this second non-stellar date, Detroit Singles/Ann Arbor singles forgot about me for 4-5 months. There was zero contact, zero introductions. I emailed them what was going on. Not long after the email was sent, I started to date someone on my own. About a month later, they sent me info on another date. However, I was already at the start of something with someone else. I went for the heck of it since things weren't physical yet, and third guy was just bad timing. I had seen him numerous times on dating sites/apps so once again, they aren't offering anyone different than show up on local dating sites/dating apps. This one was more just bad timing since they forgot about me and finally happened to contact me after I started seeing someone else. They were very expensive, didn't listen to a thing that was requested, and basically forgot I was a client until I reminded them. This led me to believe they had a very small dating pool. I don't have trouble meeting people but was tired of trying to filter people myself (find ones that met my requirements while I met theirs and that were also looking for a relationship), but they didn't seem to have a lot of people registered so they just seemed to throw whoever was available at a given time my way. 2 out of 3 people were people I had come across on regular dating sites/dating apps so they aren't really offering anything that people can't find on their own. The getting to me interview was useless given they didn't listen to anything about me that would lead to a successful match. read more

SCAM!!! I'm glad I did my research. I had a phone interview and as soon as I asked the cost this woman lied her ass off saying she didn't know. Who sells something unaware of its cost. I told her to call me in two weeks so I could ruminate on the idea and she tried to get me to call them. I said no and to call me. She said she would. I hope she does! read more

I just signed up with them and am hopeful. This is a little discouraging to read. So hard to find a decent man online. If this doesn't work I am at wits end. I don't know how ppl meet over 40 anymore ??? read more

Michael O. 12/08/2017 I signed up with Detroit Singles back in 2014, yes I wen't through screening processes just like everyone else.I am very glad for the process. Were my first few few dates perfect? No, It was not the women's fault or mine. No one is God. Then they sent me on a date with with someone that was so opposite of me I thought you have got to frigging be kidding me. After we talked for hours that night, I new I was in love. I am happy to say I got married to this same women on July 16th 2017 and I fall in love with her more every day.. There are no guarantees in life and I'm sure DS cannot warranty your happiness, But they certainly changed Michael and Elizabeth's life forever. I am Michael writing this and I thank you DS and I love you my beautiful wife Elizabeth O'Guin read more

Absolutely awful service. Signed up in August 2014. First date already matched with someone. Between August and December ONLY 1 match! Contacted them December 2014, and they were still unable to provide match and unwilling to refund. I had to go right back to the other dating sights through which I had no trouble finding matches. I would strongly recommend staying away from this service. read more

Do not give them a dime. Rip off company. They lied about security checks they lied about a personal service agent. They are bogus

3.30.17 Hang in there.... Don't give up! I have been with Ann Arbor Singles (Detroit Singles) for 2 years, 10 months. At times it was difficult in the sense I was not sure the matchmaker would actually be able to match the right person with me. It required resilience, faith in their process, and maintaining enough contact and feedback to develop a closer relationship with the matchmaker. As a result I had several dates with terrific men and only a few that were not such a great match. Each time I gave detailed feedback either through the website or on the phone. At any rate, they were professional and respectful, kata poling me back into the dating scene and providing me with several opportunities over time. * * * * * * * My professional matchmaker Dee is exceptional at what she does. Dee and I have shared several deep conversations in which she truly listened to my feedback and interests. In September of this past year, Dee provided me with the perfect match, an exceptional man who appears to possess every characteristic I desire. My story: Dee called and told me she had the perfect match for me, proceeding to list the characteristics of this man, which captured my attention immediately. Trusting in Dee, I took the referral right away. The call between Dee and I must have been under 2 minutes. It took a while for this gentleman and I to get together due to our travel schedules, however, it sure did not take long for me to figure out Dee was right! We had our first date on 10.14.16 in which we met in Ann Arbor, Michigan for drinks, which led to dinner. We talked for ~ 5 hours; both went off to international travels and met again 11.17.16. Our relationship has been blossoming ever since. He appears to be the perfect man for me, and Ann Arbor Singles was the catalyst. read more

Do not join this service! You are required to pay up front and sign legal docs so you can not request a refund or sue when the service virtually ignores you once they have your money! They sent one supposed match my way after a few months passed who did not have even one of my "must haves". A few months later I phoned them to confirm they were still in business because I hadn't heard from them... They indicated they were having a hard time meeting my requirements... Of course when they were trying to sell me on the service they supposedly had plenty of candidates but now with cash in hand no one exists and it seems I don't exist as far as they are concerned... read more

SCAM STAY AWAY.... They will tell what you want to hear! To get as much money they can extract! Once you write the check and they get the money then you have to chase them for everything else.... read more

I joint a year ago and had seven referrals. #1 - #6 was out of my target group as I clearly communicated at the beginning, one didn't even want to meet ... so clearly no match from the women's side. The big issue is they just don't listen to you what are you seeking and match you (in my opinion) randomly, too old, too far away, out of weight class I saw it all and I really regret that I have joint. My advice ... stay as far away as possible !!!! My match maker office was at 13th mile - Telegraph ... at the beginning it sound very promising and I had very high hopes ... maybe other offices can listen better to you and do a better job than them. read more

Run, don't walk. During a very vulnerable time in my life, I caved into a high pressure sales job. I I was told they would weed out the prospects and find one that matched my criteria I signed up in Dec. and they finally made a referral this week but he is does not match my criteria. At 500 plus dollars a pop, you would think they could find someone close to what I told them was important to me. I manage to meet people every time I leave the house. If I wanted just ANYONE I could save my money and go on Match. I requested a refund but of course that is not their policy. I offered to reimburse them for any time spent but their contract is iron clad. RUN. It is 8 months into the process and still no referrals. RS read more

I'm terrified after reading these. I signed up for "Ann Arbor Singles" which is the same company, but I didn't see reviews under that name. I came across it in a google ad and put my info in not knowing what it was. I got a call like 20 minutes later that was a screening call and I was told that I "sounded awesome" on the phone and that they would love to meet me in person for a 90 minute interview. I was told to bring my ID and form of financial identity but that I would not be charged for anything. First off, I was asked to come back during a later time because an employee called in sick (I should have seen that as a sign). During the meeting, I filled out a simple profile and talked to the recruiter about my likes/dislikes. She made it seem like there was a main matchmaker who approves everything, though she has 2 assistants. And we talked about how matchmaking is so different and so much better then online dating. I was also told that because of my age (28) and that I was never married, educated, and extremely "open" as to what I would be willing to date that I was a hot commodity and that the guy pool was very large. I felt really good about the program until I was shown the prices. I'm a college student and can by no means afford a program like this. I signed up for the most basic package (8 referrals...aka "matches") and was given so many "discounts" to get that price down to $4000! I was pressured into paying because my life was going to change and the person selling the service missed her chance to have kids and I needed to find someone before MY time ran out. I handed over my credit card that was already out for identification verification thinking that it would be worth the money for "Happily Ever After." I went home and felt so bad about charging that amount but I was told there was no way to get a refund...so I pushed forward and filled out the detailed online compatibility questionnaire (of 20 some ?s). I was also able to write a paragraph about my ideal match. A couple of days later, I received a call from one of my matchmakers just welcoming me to the program. She went over my compatibility questions and convinced me to check more boxes (which would essentially broaden her search). For example, she said "you don't like bowling?" To which I said, "not really...I mean I've gone before and would go but I don't really enjoy it." And she replied "I'll check that box under hobbies for you." She then went on to say "I found your first match." She also said that since I was already on the phone, she would allow me to take advantage of "Pre-approval" and tell me about him. Pre-approval is in a more expensive package and is where you are told about the match before meeting and you can say if you are interested in meeting (which counts as one of your referrals). She told me about my "match," by basically saying which boxes he checked in his questionnaire. There was not much compatibility on paper at all! I know music interests are not that important, but she said "uh-oh...he likes heavy metal" (and I don't), but immediately said, "it's okay, my husband loves heavy metal and it's loud but as long as he doesn't play it in the car it doesn't bug me." She then asked what I thought of him. I told her I wasn't impressed and that he sounded like an "average" guy as a nice way to reject him. But she clearly didn't respect that and said she would send out the email that we are matched and that he will contact me in 72 hours or less. It's been a week. And that is when I was going to update my profile before notifying the service so they could offer me a better match--only to come across these reviews. And now I feel like I will never get my money back, nor my money's worth. Here's to finding Mr. Right who can give me back my $4000 and some of my dignity (seriously...if you're a single guy and I just saved you some $$$ and a whole lot of headache, hmu). read more

zero stars....it is a scam to get your money....high pressure...can't simply say don't want....don't deal with people like this.....thousands of dollars you would think you are dealing with a reputable company....they are horrible. They pay someone to erase reviews....how come they don't have a single good one??? read more

This is a scam. First they gave me the name of a woman who was in a dating relationship. They never called back to see how it went. Two months went by without a second meeting. Then they said that there were no 'pictures' of the women from whom I would be able to chose 'date'. Then Dee called me to agree to refund my money as contractually nothing had been done; then Jennifer said 'no way' leaving me no option but to file litigation and complaints to the State of Michigan for Consumer Protection. How do these companies stay in business? When will the State of Michigan close them down? read more

Yesterday Kevin and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary, after meeting through Ann Arbor Singles. It was the second date for both of us and we have been traveling and celebrating our good fortune every day since. After many years of being alone we feel so blessed to have found each other and can't thank our matchmakers at Ann Arbor Singles enough. The system and support they provide is directly related to the honesty you have with yourself in what you expect and are looking for in a partner. Both of us were never interested in online dating and after much research we found that this was a much better process, as it takes many steps to assure a better match for each client that elects to use their services. We are living proof that this system works. read more

Telephone Interview questions were mostly interested if 1) I have bank account; 2) is it in my name; 3) what type of bank accounts: checking / savings. 4) Do I have a credit card? Is it in my name?; 5) Do I own my own home; Is home in my name; 6) Do I own a car. Who is listed on the title. When I agreed to go to office I was told to bring 3 pieces of verifiable ID - driver's license, 2 credit cards. I said I can bring my passport, and provide driver's registration. Interviewer continued to state they needed copies of my credit cards as valid proof of my ID. Its a sham and a shame! read more

This place deserves no stars. The dates they did give me were not at all compatible. I've heard nothing from them in 1 1/2 years other than an occasional "we're still thinking of you". Curiously since I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, they now have all kinds of men who are perfect for me. They will not give you the contact info for the owner or officers of the company, how shady is that? You'd have better luck on Craig's List and a whole lot cheaper. read more

I just wanted to do my due diligence and informing the public about this place. I too agree with the previous people who stated that this place is a scam. I was contacted by one of the people after I filled out a questionnaire online and she proceeded to ask me then a series of questions which I had already answered on the online survey but then she got to a question about my income and she wanted to know what income bracket I fell into and I pause at that point and I asked her what difference does that make in reference to matching you with someone. Then she skipped that question and went on to explain how the an office visit was to work where they do not disclose any pricing over the phone however when you have your appointment in the office that will be determined based on the package that you signed up for so then I went back and asked her is that why you asked me about my income level are you pricing the packages to individuals based on their income bracket so there's not a clear flat rate that is being charged to everyone and when I began to question her about the transparency of their operation then she started to pause and I said that as with your service asking me questions about full disclosure I too am expecting full disclosure from your company and being upfront and honest with your business practices she then went on to ask me when can I come into the office and try to rush an appointment and then when I asked her just give me a second what is the name of your company so I can check the reviews as I started to check the reviews then she started to say well you can just I'll check back with you next week and follow up to see when you would be available to come into the office I truly suspect that I will never hear from her again after she knows that I have been checking the reviews and what I have found. I believe that it is a scam operation I believe everything the previous people have written is correct and accurate and I just want customers to be aware keep your money if someone is asking you about your income and before they are giving you prices for their services be aware read more

Same here. Paid big money 8 weeks no response. Went to bingham farms office, was told there was a person in mind for me. Haven't tried to get a refund yet but it seems like a scam. Maybe not enough people on their database? read more

Total scam! Zero stars as well......high pressure sales, they wanted THOUSANDS of dollars for no guarantee dating referrals. When I said no, the representative got nasty with me and said I wasn't serious about dating. I told her I did not come here to get insulted just because I refused to pay her 5K for a dating services. RUN, RUN, RUN away from this company. Scary company! read more

I joined Ann Arbor Singles which is the same as Detroit Singles... It is a scam!!! Run don't walk away... They have a great sales pitch and convince you that you will meet your special person.... I joined in August it's now February... I've had one date! Yes that's right ONE date in 6 months! I'm not sure why they go through an interview process they don't match people any better then 'plenty of fish' 'okcupid' or ''Tinder' all of which are FREE on- line dating sites!! Actually I think I've found better matches on-line then the ONE date they matched me with.. Unfortunately they make you sign a contract so I'm out the money!!! Save yours!!!! RUN!! read more

DONT DO IT!!! Ann Arbor Singles is another division of Detroit Singles. Hopefully you read these reviews before signing up for the joke of a business. I went to a consultation at Ann Arbor Singles and met with a "relationship specialist" who was very good at playing a warm, fuzzy, caring person who wanted to help me find that "special someone". I thought it all sounded really good, but then after this BS presentation the prices were presented to me and I was shocked! $4000 for the low end package (8 dates) . I said I needed to a couple of days to think about it at which point I was told that if I don't sign today that I would not be able to join the program. Keep in mind that when you considering joining a dating service it is a very emotional decision and why someone would demand you make your decision at that moment is for their benefit only... what kind of legit business says that?!... I signed (what an idiot I was!). I left the office feeling very uncomfortable about my decision and called them the next morning to rescind the contact (left them a message because they never answer their phones) . When I finally did talk with AAS the next week they were very condescending and said they would not let me out even though I had not completed my online profile and they had done nothing for me at all yet... just took my money. I will be reporting this company to Ann Arbor BBB as well as Detroit BBB. Hopefully you read these posts before being taken...As spoken by another reviewer - RUN, don't walk! read more

Very disappointed in this service. I had to spend time reporting my likes and dislikes, all of which were ignored. They set you up with people just to get you to your quota none of which were anything like what you requested in your profile. Total waste of time and money. I feel very taken....would love my hard earned money back. read more

This place is fraudulent. I can't believe I was so trusting to not check the reviews before purchasing a "package" from Detroit Singles. I bought a package from a high pressure saleswoman named Jen, who seemed so very sweet at the time. She confided her family life to me and made me feel like she had a special interest in me. I spent a lot of money thinking I would get what I payed for. Well, this place is fraudulent. First suspicious thing I noticed is how my very first phone call, after purchasing the package, was rerouted to Nebraska to interact with my matchmaker. She didn't call me back for days. When I asked who is the "Mother Company"? No one will tell me! They claim not to know! I said well, what organization is named at the top of your paycheck? They refused to tell me. Jen who was sweet as sugar as she sold me the Package, turned into an absolute WITCH. She began attacking me verbally, it was completely unprofessional. I can tell all she cares about is that she made the sale and she knows I have no way of getting my money back. It felt just this way when I've dealt with other high pressure sales people who change drastically after the sale-such a scam! This all happened back in October 2014. I've been waiting for someone to call and apologize or even to just start the process of completing the matchmaking for which I hired them. No call! It's now been three months. In the fine print of the contract it reads that I will need to travel to the state of Florida for all legal proceedings, which is impossible for me. This was a very costly mistake. I'm sure this place is fraudulent but they've covered themselves legally with all the fine print in their contract. I will never be able to recover the money I spent because I would need to travel to Florida to go to the proceedings. Please don't even walk through the doors of Detroit Singles they are fakes! read more

Detroit Singles, a.k.a. Mature Singles is one of the worst "match making" services I've ever been involved with. I only wished I had taken heed to the reviews I read prior falling for their line of bull. I first was phoned by someone from Mature Singles, who claimed I inquired about?, only to be offered an interview with the smooth talkers at Detroit Singles in Bingham Farms, Mi. Everything sounded so good, the support team (located in Nebraska) all the available senor singles. Two failed dates, a lot of non-refundable money spent, it makes me nauseous. I really wish all the victims would get together and file a class action suit. I truly believe their "BBB" rating of a B- is a lie.. read more

I recently filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, which of course was closed without any resolution. There have been MANY complaints filed-look out for this organization, you will waste thousands! read more

Was sincere about finding a true partner. Went to the initial meeting and listened to the sales hype. Just didn't feel it and politely declined. The price kept going down. I should of kept going out the door but took the bait. Met men that lived in with relatives, so they were not financially able to really date. Were matched with men over an hour driving distance one way and when I requested more locally they stated it didn't matter and it would count as a match. The men also stated that they preferred more local and were matched with women too far away to consider. Also was matched with a man and was his first match and he told me he was surprised that his background check came back ok. EEKS ! Paying for this was absurd and I would tell anyone to RUN. Have done better on my own and less costly. read more

I signed up in January and had two dates it took 4 weeks for the first match and then weeks went by and i didn't hear anything so i called. They didn't realize i wasn't dating the person i sent them feedback on. I told them no, two days later i got another match. This was March! Upon meeting the other match i found out that they didn't listen to my likes or his they just seemed to pull our names out of a hat. In June i called and put my account on hold. I was told i could do this for 6 months. I have since tried sept oct and now nov to call and get a hold of them i have left several message and never get a return call. Every time i go to the location 3 times now no one is there. I finally got though to someone with the company, they claimed they were in Nebraska and never got any of my messages. it cost me $4,000 and the packages go up. DONT DUE it there is no customer service after they get your money. It isn't worth the frustration. read more

this is a scam PLEASE do not do business with them. the person you meet in person will tell you everything you want to hear and make it sound like a really great idea. it's all lies. the two matchmakers don't even live in michigan. they should not even be called matchmakers. the last match i had before i told them i was a done, was a hunter who grew up on a working farm. i am an animal rights activist who wants to have a farm animal sanctuary one day. he actually asked me "what animals need to be saved?" i specifically made clear MULTIPLE times i didn't want to be matched with men who hunt. seriously these people don't deserve your money. read more

I went to Detroit Singles in Bingham Farms, MI hoping to find a different dating experience than I had been accustomed to. First, the woman I spoke with gave me a wonderful hope that I would find my perfect match. After our talk and numerous questions she told me how wonderful I am and that they have many successful men looking for someone like me. Then she wanted me to shell out thousands of dollars without giving me any referrals, testimonials, or pictures. Nothing but her word. When I told her I would think about it, the price kept getting lower and she mentioned the many men who are financially stable who have paid thousands of dollars just to meet me. I am not looking for money, I am looking for a Godly man to spend my life with. When I continued to say, I will think about it, the woman became angry, rude, and tried to make me feel that because of my age, no one will want me. She turned her back on me, handed me her card, booted me out of the door, and I never heard from this agency again. Do not waste your time or your money. read more

I signed up for the service because I am not one to find a relationship in a bar and I am toooo busy to sit around and wait on a park bench for a good man to pass me by. I have gotten NOTHING but men I am not compatable with. One man put my life in danger then the three other I actually met with was an alcoholic, one was a psycho, and a man still in a fantasy relationship with his ex. Fast forward.....I stopped paying them because not only did they send me those horrible matches but the other one's they sent were 100% out of my requests....So now they have me in collections for a scam. I cannot pay for a service that puts my life in jeopardy. I have never felt so insulted in my life! They asked for feedback and I gave it to them. I would have had no problem paying if they would have just told me they apologize and had no idea what they are doing. This whole experience has been degrading! I hope anyone going into this has low expectations, money to flush down the drain, and understands that you have a better chance of meeting your match in a dark alley behind an abandoned building in a Detroit rather than using Detroit Singles...!!!!!!!!!! read more
