About Entre NousEntre Nous was established in 1991 by Rosalind Baker, author of best selling books Dial A Woman, Dial A Man and Dial A Personality.

These one-on-one introductions have an 89% success rate. This is how Entre Nous became Melbourne's premier professional introduction agency.

Our Process The Entre Nous process includes a complete support program for you, managed by your very own Entre Nous relationship Consultant... Entre Nous' method has proven to be successful. With an 89% success rate for one-on-one introductions and over 1000 marriages we know that our process of helping clients form relationships works. Firstly, you visit us to consult with one of our highly qualified consultants where we are able to gain an initial understanding of your personality and your needs. We then discuss how best we can help you attain your goals. For instance, we set a realistic goal and an achievable time frame in which to achieve it. Entre Nous only accepts single men and single women whom we believe suit our style of dating service. Because, unless our clients have similar values, there will be no compatibility. Entre Nous only accepts single professionals or successful business people; people who make things happen for themselves and who would rather spend time with a partner rather than searching for one. All prospective single men and single women are qualified before enrolment. Shortly after you enrol as a member and after you have attended a one-on-one New Members’ Briefing with your Personal Consultant we are able to provide you with your first introductions. At Entre Nous we recommend that you attempt to meet your introductions at least twice – to become acquainted often takes longer than some people imagine. Our clients are coached to look for the specific core values that they are seeking in a partner. The particular style of meeting prospective partners, that we recommend allows our clients – even the very shy ones – the opportunity to get to know members of the opposite sex without feeling confronted or obligated in any way. At worst you make a friend and at best your friendship develops into a relationship. The first meeting should be brief (perhaps a coffee). The aim of this meeting is simply to organise the second meeting, which should be an activity where the focus is not on each other but on the activity. We do not encourage dinner dates and there is a very important reason for this. If you date a person three times and then either of you feel that the relationship is not worth pursuing then it must end. Whereas after you meet for coffee, a game of tennis or a bike ride, if either of you feels that the other is not ideal for a permanent relationship you can still continue the friendship because that's what it is - a friendship. This way you may gain a friendship, a networking opportunity and even the possibility that the friend may introduce you to prospective single men or single women. We find that often times at Entre Nous, what initially started off as a friendship develops into a long term relationship. During the process you may attend the Entre Nous' Power of Attraction workshop and or avail yourself of our counseling service, life coaching service and the Entre Nous Relationship Education Course for partnered couples. In addition, we provide our members with a monthly newsletter and our website and email correspondence provide a wealth of information. Our many dating services are designed to improve your chances of relationship success. We ask for feedback after each first meeting and when you attend your personal reviews we can provide you with feedback from the single men or single women you have met when you attend your personal reviews. This ensures you are on target and achieving your goals. Of course Entre Nous' Relationship Consultants are always readily available to assist you between reviews. Entre Nous conducts a high-speed search of our state-of-the-art database to find single men or single women to suit your needs. We have an extensive search facility to provide us with a list of people that we can actively pursue if you have very specific needs. We also offer an executive search service for single men and single women with even more specific dating service needs. Once you have formed a committed relationship Entre Nous offers you and your partner a Relationship Education course because, for Entre Nous, ensuring you sustain a long-term relationship is just as important as finding you the ideal partner. It is Entre Nous' commitment to high standards and values that maintains our reputation as Melbourne's leading introduction service. The Entre Nous process includes a complete dating service support program for you, managed by your very own Entre Nous Relationship Consultant...

Differences between online dating & Entre NousEntre Nous offers one-on-one introductions because we believe these are most effective in helping you form a long-term relationship. Conversely, the dangers of online dating are very real and its success in helping people form a committed relationship is at best questionable. With online dating you can never be sure who you are meeting. Are they married? Older than they say they are? Are they showing realistic photos of themselves? Are they being honest? Entre Nous' members feel very comfortable and confident in the Entre Nous dating process because we know each single men and single women we know each person we introduce you to. We have seen proof of their age, we know exactly what they look like and we know their personalities. Entre Nous takes the role of a friend introducing you to someone they know and trust who is compatible with you. Most online dating sites provide no support at all. They do not know you, what you require and who would best suit you. It isn't a personalised service and, for busy people, online dating can be time consuming with little end reward. Entre Nous' one-on-one introduction service is so successful because our Relationship Consultants, who know your needs, values and lifestyles are actively matchmaking with suitable single men or single women. Your time is not taken with trawling for possibilities such as online dating or speed dating rather it is spent enjoying the company of potential suitors – hand picked for you. It may be quick to add your profile to an online dating site but if you don't spend time working on your profile you are unlikely to have much success. Each person Entre Nous introduces you to is a single, professional person who is as equally interested in forming a relationship as you are. Entre Nous requires involvement and investment from you. If the end result is that you are in a committed relationship, surely this is better than having your time and emotional energy wasted online. Our members find our relationship enhancement programs, regular reviews and close contact with their personal consultant, monthly newsletters and other services to be helpful elements of the dating process. Many single men and single women enroll at Entre Nous after trying online dating with little success (and we have heard some not-so-good stories). So if you are serious about forming a relationship join Entre Nous to ensure that your goal is achieved promptly.

Bill and I married in April this year and spent 6 weeks overseas on our honeymoon. We've told all our friends and family about how we met at Entre Nous - a bit of a challenge for me at first but ultimately liberating. Thank you for your service. I probably would never have found a partner any other way as I was far too shy (and truth be told, socially inept) to meet men off my own bat. Attached is a photo of the happy couple! Warm regards Maree 7/7/2007 Hello Rosalind, Thank you for your email. In a nutshell - P… and I are very happy together! I shall try and give you a call in the next few days to tell you more. In the meantime, could you please send me some more information about the relationship education course. Many Thanks! Many thanks also for introducing us! It’s been six wonderful months – looking forward to many, many, many more! Best regards V….

Kind regards F…. (name supplied) 3/05/2007 Dear Rosalind, Meeting different women Although Entre Nous has been an amazing, interesting, educational and a fun experience - you also learn a lot about yourself which you would otherwise not find out. There is no other way to find someone you can relate to – in fact doing it by ‘chance’- i.e. hoping you will meet someone in your daily normal life - is equal to the chance of lightening striking you in the driveway of your home. I have told this to many people in just this way. As you have correctly said, you usually cannot pick at first glance who you will get on best with – sometimes it is a great surprise. Then there are the occasions when you like someone and they don’t feel the same way- it would be nice to know why for your own benefit but you rarely know this- perhaps the other person may not want to say. Personal contact is so much superior to computer (impersonal and subject to misleading information) contact. The sound of someone’s voice is very important. Some women love incredibly enhancing voices and some have broad drawl (á la Julia Gillard) These are only a few thoughts – more to follow. Regards, S..... (name supplied) Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat makes you better than other introduction agencies? 1. The people we enrol are qualified, professional, attractive and pleasant. What are my chances of success?If you are successful in other areas of your life you will no doubt be successful in finding a partner too. With our large database and the expertise we offer - you can’t miss. Do you guarantee a number of introductions?Yes we do. Before you join you will enter into a written agreement with Entre Nous which includes the number of introductions we have agreed upon and your specified needs. Can you give me a guarantee that I will be successful?Yes we can offer you extra introductions if you have not succeeded. I have been divorced twice what chances have I of succeeding in a long term relationship?Every chance, our Client Relations Team has accredited qualifications in relationship facilitating and can offer you the necessary expertise in choosing a partner. Once you have formed a relationship we would encourage you to enrol in an Entre Nous Relationship Course for Couples which doubles your chances of success in the relationship. I am very very shy and have never even dated before how can you help me?Firstly you will not be dating, just doing informal activities. We have a special training program for shy people to help you overcome shyness. We recommend that you make friends rather than dating and will show you many techniques to make the journey more enjoyable, fun and relaxed. I don’t want to get married. I would just like to meet more people. Do all your members want to get married?Not necessarily. This is an ideal way of meeting new likeminded people – people with similar values, intellect and lifestyles. If you did happen to fall in love with one of them, it would be OK because as well as being attractive they would fit in with your lifestyle. I am very fussy; do you think you can provide a good range of attractive people?We can help most people. If you are seeking a crown prince or titled person you are better off to try an agency in Europe but other than that we have access to appropriate professional people. What say I don’t like anyone I meet?You would be the first person who did not like everyone. We normally weed out the types who do not like anyone. I am very busy and frequently out of town wouldn’t my membership be wasted?No, we would suspend your membership whilst you were away or too busy to meet people. Are you sure that your clients will like me?If we believe we can find you a partner, be rest assured that our members will like you. We do not enrol people that we would feel uncomfortable introducing to our valued members. I am going overseas for three months later in the year is it worthwhile joining now?Of course, start this exciting journey now. To avoid wasting your membership, we can place your membership on hold whilst you’re away. If you have any further questions please leave them below and we will be delighted to answer them promptly.
