Q: Who are your clients?

A: They come from all over the world, and they are only very, very high end. We cater mostly to people ages 20-to-80.

Q: Why can’t they meet people on their own?

A: They’re very, very busy. They have anything and everything that money can offer, and they do not go to singles gatherings. They don’t have time for small talk.

Q: How is your business different from Match.com and all the other dating services out there?

A: We’re not video dating. We’re not computer matching. We’re not Internet matching. We’re not an escort service. We have a staff of six people and we give one-on-one personal matchmaking for marriage-minded people. I give a 100 percent guarantee that we’ll find your soulmate. The rest is up to you.

Q: How did you meet your husband? (Orly is 46 and has been married for 25 years to a surgeon. They have two children, ages 18 and 19.)

A: I didn’t go to a matchmaking service. I found him on my own. I went to temple to pray a little and met him.

Q: How did you get into this business?

A: My parents are matchmakers in Israel-they are still matching-so I grew up watching my parents and then I took their concept and the love of it and brought it to America.

Q: Do yo enjoy your job?

A: I eat, breathe and live matchmaking. I really love it. I’m sort of the mother of everybody.

Q: What does your family think of your business?

A: As long as I pay the bills, they’re happy. It’s a lucrative business. I make more money than my husband, and he’s a surgeon. He saves people and so do I.

Q: Is matchmaking more acceptable than it used to be?

A: Oh, yes. When I started 25 years ago it was like therapy - nobody talked about it, it was all very hush-hush. Some people wouldn’t come to my office. Now it’s in.

Q: Do you have some advice for first dates?

A: The first date must be over a quiet dinner, so you can look in each other’s eyes to see if you have any physical and emotional chemistry. Do not go to a movie. Do not have sex on your first date. On the second date, we advise you to go to an outing outdoors, like a picnic, so you can see each other not only dressed up but very casual. Then the third date you can go to an art show or a concert.
