Seattle Singles - Store - Matchmakers Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Seattle Singles only gets one star from me, because there is no zero stars. I was told that they were no longer in business, just collecting the payments on existing contracts. In a email they sent me, they said they are not signing new members. read more

A little pricier than most dating sites, but the staff is friendly, courteous, customer service oriented and the current staff headed by Iriss is setting up at least monthly events which have been well attended of singles of both sexes and varying ages are coming to. It's nice to have exciting fun events to go to again. read more

I logged onto the site and was asked for contact details. After going through the initial process I saw that the services were north of $300. I opted out. That generated 2 phone calls from the company at inconvenient times. I later returned the call and left a voice message saying I wasn't interested in the product. The next day I started receiving unsolicited emails from dating sites all over the world. They had my name, picture and email address. Some of the were lewd and disgusting sites. Seattle Singles sells or passes along your contact information to unreliable third parties that blow up your emails with dozens of unsolicited offers. Disgusting. read more

Don't go anywhere near these guys. The information on the website is vague for a reason - they're masking the fact that their service involves an extremely expensive contract ($7k/3yr) for access to an exclusive dating website and singles events (which cost extra). The high-pressure sales tactics are shady, at best. After submitting an online form requesting additional information, I got a call from a woman the next day (the people on the phone are not the people you will speak to in person). She asked questions about my dating history without providing any details about their service and arranged for me to come into the office that evening. On arrival, I had a pleasant conversation in a private office for about an hour, again, focused on my dating experience and preferences. The salesperson then quickly went over the service they provide - an exclusive dating website and singles events (for an extra fee), as well as unlimited "dating advice." Members are required to use the company's photographer for photos, the price of which is NOT included in your contract. She then put a $7k price-tag on the table. But I didn't need to worry about that, because I was immediately offered a discounted price of approximately $1.3k, supposedly because they desperately needed men with my age and background. I still wasn't sure, so she left the office to "talk to the boss" (standard sales tactic). In the end, I decided to sit on it, which I'm glad I did. When I got home I did some research. I found lots of bad reviews with consistent complaints regarding their sales tactics, prices, and quality of service, as well as a court case from 2010, when the Washington Attorney General sued the company (then Great Expectations) for dishonest business practices. The next day, I found they had run a hard credit check on me, despite the fact that I hadn't signed up with them. Yes, I had signed their screening form, but what's the point of running my credit if I'm not actually signing up for their service? Needless to say, I didn't get back to them. A few weeks later, I got a follow-up. I responded by saying I didn't appreciate the credit check and was wary due to the company's bad reviews and checkered history. Her response was to point out it was all legal, and to tell me that they didn't need my patronage because "we have a great selection of guys in your age group." When I pointed out that she had originally offered a discount specifically because they needed my demographic (they took another $300 off in the follow-up e-mail), her entire response was "Well best of luck to you. I hope you realize there's a reason you're single." Yes, dating sucks, but it's not worth pouring money into a company that is rude, extremely expensive, and will still leave all the work of dating up to you. read more

Thought I'd try out this place since I am newly widowed. I could not get a straight answer out of Karen in regards to pricing. She said I need to come in and they do background checks. I said, all I want is pricing info on memberships. She says it would be worth my while to come in. The conversation between us was very exhausting. Too shady for me! read more

I went to Seattle Singles as a lonely single guy looking for a way to meet women. I have never felt so betrayed and and treated as poorly by a company saying they are trying to help people find love. Specifically Kim the manager once she realized that I was not going to be a sale became nasty, even venomous in her demeanor. I was enticed on the phone with lies that were proven untrue when I went into the office. Bottom line - these are not the people to trust with your love life - also the value is bad, high cost low delivery. read more

Just finished reading all reviews.. as someone I know mentioned it. BUT, i have realized that it's the old scam group,'Great Expectations" .. Please know .. that in Contract Law you have 72 hours to decide on keeping the contract or reversing it, getting a refund. This is Law. I sued this company about 15 yrs. ago for Not refunding my $$$ when I realized their collection of men my age were of low quality. Always beware of predatory high pressure sales.. A good company sells a great product, and gives you time to decide. I could hardly believe the one review.. that the co. kept his $4000 after 24 hrs had passed? He has a case ... and can ask for punitive damages for Emotional Distress... Please, everyone... read up on Contract Law.. .. The govt.schools do not teach judicial info. for a reason. The world has plenty of predators and parasites... It's time we woke up to this fact... read more

I loved being apart of this club, The people i have met are wonderful. I found happiness in myself again i am getting out and being more social With the events, which has helped my confidence severely now that i am datin again since my divorce. I'd say at first i didn't have much luck due to myself not putting in the work, You have to Actually put in some work by going online picking members. Once i started looking at member profiles/liking members and attending events i actually started having quite a bit more luck with my age range. I am seeing someone serious now and that is thanks to this group so thank you for the many fun experiences and helping me find happiness again. read more

Although a little pricier than most dating sites, I have enjoyed my time with Seattle Singles, especially the social get togethers. Due to Covid, they few if any activities because of restrictions, but based upon the last event, I'm a believer and hopeful that I will not only continue to get good friends but possibly even Ms. Right, or even Ms Left :) We had a get together this week at a nice bar where they had lots of activities, and games along with asking us what type(s) of activities we would like. I am hopeful that this will be the start of something great. The business paid for our happy hour food and it was delicious. Karen of the staff did an excellent job of coordinating and running the event read more

Shady business. I caved in to high pressure sales atmosphere, and they got me to hurriedly sign the contract. I realized that I cannot utilize this service because I take care of a dying 90 year old mother at home. She fell ill the same day I signed the contract. As soon as I got home, I tried calling to cancel. The voicemail wasn't even activated. So I emailed. No reply. I called my credit card company to hold the payment; too late. I disputed the transaction, and AMEX said "sorry." I am on Social Security Disability and live below the poverty line. Yet, the business refuses to reverse the charges; they have no conscience. What (compassionate) dating service would have this "cut-throat" mindset? All they care is about the $8,000 contract. I'm stuck with the debt, and will never be able to utilize their services. And the available women are all older than I was told. I have appealed to the business to cancel the contract; I will never use them, so they know they're taking my $4,000 (deposit) simply for the money. If they agree to let it go, I will retract and/or amend this review. If they don't, I will be forced into bankruptcy. EDIT: 1/26/16 The company could care less about anything but a signed contract. If you were dying, and had 6 days to live, they STILL wouldn't work with you. BRUTAL. Their infamous "go-to" line is "No refunds." That's it. They can't come up with a better and thoughtful rationale than re-stating "NO REFUNDS." If my penis were severed off, I'm sure they would still say "NO REFUNDS!" EDIT: 2/8/2016 I got suckered, so there goes 34 years of stellar credit. Bankrupt. I was better off before stepping in to that place. It's cool, for some reason, the State Attorney General knows all about this place! If you've been suckered too, speak up. "Class action....." read more

Do not sign up!!!! It is a scam and you may not get even one date. You're much better off on match.com. This place will charge you thousands for 3 years and I had 2 dates from them. Please buyer beware!!! read more

In my painful 3 years, and after paying $80.00 a month, I've had 2 dates!! Their local turnover is disastrous! Support is Miserable. It has been a total waste of time! If I had read the Yelp reviews, I would have saved thou$ands of dollars. Trust me, this organization SUCKS! Save your money! Go elswhere! jeffry w. myers read more

The 20th of Feb I went to point defiance zoo & aquarium. I love see the babies animals an all the different animals in the zoo. Kent bowling was so much fun meeting all the people from Seattle singles. I bowl a very good game there. Love all the girls in the office to I stop by and see them alot and they always make time to talk to me and help me with matches. Its a really good service and I've met alot of nice pretty ladies it is worth every penny I spent and really love the events kat always makes them fun. read more

Seattle Singles takes your money but provides no services nor potential persons to date. I have not found any one to even meet let alone date since signing up in 2015, and I paid a huge amount of money.. If you find some one available, then you can not directly contact with interest. You select and then wait to see if they respond. You have no way of knowing whether they do. To e-clip or e-snap I further have to pay more money. They host little to no events though they promised they hosted through out Puget Sound! This is a rip-off. Do not sign a contract with them! read more

Seattle singles: I was really skeptical about this company at first, but I put my fears and doubts to the side and finally came in to check it out. Come to find out this place has changed my life completely! I'd DEFINITELY encourage anyone looking to find a partner or to even just see what's out there, to AT LEAST come in and see what they are all about! Kim is AWESOME! Love her! I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to afford any type of service but they assured me that they'd find a great deal for me and my budget, and that they DID! I'm SO SO happy I went through with this. The events are unbelievably fun! Speed dating events are my favorite! & honestly I'd just encourage you to see it for yourself! Love this company love everybody there! ITS THE BEST (: Sincerely, Deanna read more

I put my name and phone number into their website. Then after reading some of the reviews on Yelp, I decided against signing up. I told them not to contact me again, but they continue to hound me. When I block one of their numbers, they just call me from a different number. This is harassment. What a way to run a business! Stay away from this company! read more

Sign up if you want to be chased and chased and chased by aggressive sales people constantly changing the phone number they use once you've blocked them. Rude and clearly desperate in the age of much more affordable online dating services. read more

I looked over the reviews and went into this place with tentative emotions but I was sold! The women who run this business have turned things around tenfold! I was told that there would be professional women in my age range, ease of access to the websites and matches to women who I would actually want to date. And to my surprise, that's actually what happened!! I have to tell you, the events they put on, the video and professional photographer they used, and the knowledge of each member they have has made this the most personal and caring path towards finding that special someone and I've already went on 7 dates!!! The effort put forth from their team is so helpful since I don't have the time to go out there and make myself known (as a manager). They match profiles to the T, have answered every question I have asked and know every member that I have asked about. Seriously, I asked about a member named Rosa and I was told immediately that she came into the office every now and then and is looking for someone who is "not too emotional but is not like talking to a brick wall". These girls know their members! I am sure I have found the top tier of match making at Seattle Singles. I don't know what I would do without them! I don't use Yelp often unless I've had a really great or really bad experience, and i can confidently say this has been an amazing change of pace with a whole new life to look forward to and you should inquire! I've been happier in the past couple months than I have in the last 10 years. Thank you so much! :) read more

I have "belonged" for a year. Not one date. I tried to cancel membership due to financial and family tragedy. No compassion at all. I feel sorry for the front desk personnel as they have to field the unhappy customers. read more

Prior to joining Seattle Singles I made it abundantly clear I wasn't interested in joining a singles site only to gain access to their data base of single ladies. I was however interested in obtaining the services of a match-maker. I was assured their services did in fact include acting as a match-maker. I was assured they would match me with someone compatible and they knew several ladies who would be perfect for me. A year and a half later there has been no attempt to honor their promise. I was intentionally misrepresented and would caution anyone from wasting their money. It's evident their focus is on sales. read more

This is nothing but a robbing house where they are sitting and waiting to rob customers out of their hard earned money. They robbed me of my hard earned money for $2500 in June 2015 and since then I haven't got a single service, let alone date, from them. I have limited income but I lost my hard earned $2500 to them. Stay away from them if you don't want to get robbed of your hard earned money. Learn the lesson from me. read more

I wanted to highlight the satisfaction I and my new found love and partner is with the Seattle Singles staff and the services they provide. I went active in mid-Nov and on Dec 1st was introduce to my future partner and love by the staff. They kept abreast of my desires and profile. When my new found love surfaced as well; they immediately recognized the match and went about contacting me to see if I was up for a meet. Within a heartbeat of seeing her, we started communicating as if we knew each other since childhood. We have both went inactive so we can explore our futures together. We are ecstatic that are paths have joined. I do not believe I would have ever met my future wife without the assistance of the Seattle Singles staff and the services they provide. I highly recommend joining if you don't want to leave finding your future happiness to chance. read more

This is quite a shady business. I have never subscribed to their services. I was suspicious when after asking me several very personal questions I was asked to give them at least a chance and meet them in person to discuss the prices of their services. I am no longer single and even after clearly letting them know that I was not interested in their services I still receive phone calls and voicemails form their pushy sales people. Their company seems to only care about a signed contract and won't let you go if you gave them your personal info such as phone number...Beware and stay away! read more

I joined this group back in 2015. I feel sorry for anyone who paid the fee they start with--$8000--because if you're ready to walk out, they will reduce it further and further until they persuade you. Unfortunately, for me, the membership was worth nothing--a complete waste of money. The things they told me about current members to get my interest turned out not to be true. The "matches" they recommended for me were so absurdly bad that I couldn't believe they were suggesting them: I'm an atheist; they paired me with a "devout Catholic" whose "closest relationship was with Jesus." I have a PhD, was a college instructor, and regard reading broadly in both fiction and non-fiction as a way of life; they matched me with manual laborers with a high school education who listed none of the other interests I enjoy among their interests (for example, as an animal rights advocate and a vegan, I'm unlikely to be compatible with someone who enjoys hunting and fishing). One of the things I discovered immediately was that they keep profiles of people who are no longer active members to make it appear that they have more possible matches than they do. Shortly after joining, I selected a profile but was told that the member I had chosen wasn't an active member because he was now in a serious relationship. Over the three years during which I was nominally a member, I perused the men in my age range and realized that of all the singles groups available, they have the smallest and most stagnant membership, combined with the highest fees, even if you get a dramatically reduced rate. My advice is to stick with eharmony or match.com or whatever else is out there now. read more

Absolutely the worst predatory dating service in the world. They were relentless in their effort to have me come in for an interview which I foolishly did and made it nearly impossible to leave without signing a contract. The next day I called to let them know I was no longer interested in their services. I was told they would not let me out of the contract, they are heartless and without morals. Stay away from this organization at all costs. read more

This is a service that connects weathly to weathly. I asked the second person I saw what the fees were and was told, just the event fees. WRONG $2k to $8k! If you're an average person who has to work for a living, this is not where you want to go! read more

I was interested in this dating service and called them to talk about it. After reading the reviews, I decided against meeting in person. I explained this to them when I cancelled my appointment, but they were rude and talked over my points. Ever since then they have HOUNDED me with phone calls trying to get me to schedule an appointment. I have repeatedly asked to stop calling - they won't. I have blocked their phone number from my phone, only to have them call from different phone numbers. If they need to hard sell their service so desperately I want no part of them. read more

Seattle Singles is an amazing service! The team is truly dedicated to helping me find someone. I love how involved they are! I've had a lot of fun at the events I've been to and what's even better is the people on their site are REAL PEOPLE! I never have to worry about being catfished or lied to by a fake profile or anything. Thanks Seattle Singles! read more

I joined these folks after walking away the first time. They gave me a deal I couldn't refuse, told me I'd meet accomplished men in my age category and promised posting my video within 2 weeks of signing up - which is one of the main reasons I signed up. That was back in February. They still haven't posted it because they still don't have their upgraded system in place. When I called 2 times they kept giving me the run around. The third time I left a voicemail and my call was never returned. They send me matches no girl would want. I have only said yes to 2 or 3 and still haven't actually met anyone. One of the men they sent me was a weirdo to say the least!! Very disappointed, don't waste your time or money here. read more

Huge cost and no follow through. Lots of bragging about the lovely ladies but really disappointed. I suppose if your under 40 maybe. They fail miserably in the over 50 category and falsely state that they have hundreds of ladies. They won't let you see anything until you fork over a small fortune. Sadly just a waist. Most member's that one would like to see are unavailable. Seems that these are planted members that no longer exist. Fraudulent. Stay away at all costs. Match or Zoosk are better and cheaper and can really give you more than this service. Old antiquated and out dated. They say they are into the technology but it was all developed by some back street Indian companies who don't give a rip. No matching. I was told by the photographer about a few other gals that didn't join and that I was better off checking them out. Very sad that these business still exist when the real goal is to be happy. read more

I joined another dating site and was contacted by a lady at Seattle Singles. I guess they got my phone number from the other web site. I was talked into coming to talk. Everything they told me sounded great. After being told that they had a lot of single ladies that would be a great match for me i went home tom thing it over. I talked to them the next day and again was told they thought i would draw a lot of interest, i paid a very large amount of money to sigh up. I passed there back ground and credit check and was signed up. I filled out a profile and sent it in on line. They recommend that you reach out to a large number of the women to increase your odds of finding the right women.I reached out to at least 30 women and never had one response. I called and asked if they could check my profile and see if there was anything i could change. I was informed that i had no profile on file. I was told that the employee that i sent my profile into was no longer an employee and my profile was never posted. It was posted several days later and i was told i would be treated to a service where i would be posted as special member to get some exposure. I have been a member since February and it is mid November and i have not had one date. This site is over priced, and i have been mislead since day one. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SITE TO ANYONE. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND HARD EARNED MONEY!!! read more

I signed up with Seattle Singles more than 4 months ago with a 50% off. The discount was offered by their director. She was so friendly and of course said a ton of good things about how great the clients are within her service and she really wanted me to be their client. I had a total of 14 inquiries so far, I did say yes to couple of them and exchanged text messages, but I didn't go out with any of them. None of them really matches to what I am looking for. They do check backgrounds and your credit history. However, there are really lack of efforts on match making. I have not heard from any one of the match makers in the last 4 months. They only try to do one or 2 matches at the first 2 weeks. I will not recommend them to anyone at all. I will not even waste any of my time to claim my money back. I know they totally got me. It is impossible to get anything thing back once you sign up with them. Basically, they offer you pre-screened potential matches on a super outdated website with just a hand full of people (couple hundred maybe) in your local area. Therefore, think twice before you sign up with them. read more

This place is a complete scam! I paid $8,000 for a service that promised other mature, professional men in my age range. I was promised by my rep Kim that there were "hundreds" of professional men to choose from in the 50's to 60's age range. Once I joined I quickly realized there were less than 30 available men on their site- and out of those 30, none of them had professional careers, or took good care of themselves. I went on several dates and these were the results: one man was STILL MARRIED and living with his WIFE (he said he only paid $1500). The next man said he joined for FREE and told me he was bankrupt. The next man (paid $50) was unemployed and I later found out that he had domestic violence and drug charges on his criminal background check!! This business takes advantage of older men and women. They only have a few people to choose from (no members younger than 40 btw), nobody is healthy or professional, and they obviously do not run thorough criminal background or credit checks. I also just recently found out that this company is formerly known as Great Expectations, which was the dating service sued by and almost completely shut down by the WA state Attorney General. I truly hope this review helps save other people from being scammed by this unethical company! read more

These scam artist bastards talk a big game and charge big bucks but can't deliver. I was aggressively pushed into spending more money than I should have on a "3 year" membership. With this membership I understood I would be getting access to the online database, and attendance at events. The website was clunky and poorly designed. It was slow and looked to have been programed by someone with little to no skill. I never once was contacted or responded to with the site. the events cost an average of $15-$50 ON TOP of the membership. This Scam took me for over $1500.00 before I tried to cancel my account. AFTER I canceled they continued to charge me monthly for the online access I was not using BECAUSE MY ACCOUNT WAS INACTIVE. If you are investigating this company, run the other way before you are scammed out of your life savings. Find love in other places because greed is the only thing you will find at the Seattle Singles. read more

My brother sat down for a sales pitch and was told normally it's $8000 to join but we this week it's on sale for $2500. They said we have too many women not enough men so we would love to have you. They said unlike other dating sites you can meet single women organically at our single events we put on (sounder game, wine tasting , holiday party) . We also contact women and sell you to the single women. This guy is a great match for you can we give your # to him. The $2500 seemed justified because of all the ways they allow you to meet women. After he joined it was 80% men on the site for his area 20% women. The single events kept getting canceled and when they weren't it was all men showing up. They said we haven't found any women available to match you with so you will have to message women on your own. If a website was finding decent looking people for you every other weekend to go on a date with you, you could justify the $2500 because it's hard to meet people. You don't join a site that's mostly single men when your a guy its doesn't make sense. He called the next day for a refund and they said no. He decided suing would cost at least $2000 so he considered it a sunk cost. I use match. At times its 66% to 70% men but i only paid 100 bucks so I think is good value . read more
