About Tryst Introductions

A History of Tryst

To seek a long term and maturing relationship is a basic human instinct. Likewise the ‘Matchmaker’ has been an honoured role in communal societies from the dawn of time. Why should this be? The fact is that people often do not know their own selves well enough to identify a partner who has the potential for the kind of long term and developing union they both deserve.

My studies and my experience within TRYST have shown me that a loving relationship is too important to leave to chance. That is what we tend to do, isn’t it? We meet someone and, in the excitement of falling in love, we neglect to consider both sides of the equation. Would you buy a house after only looking at the outside? Doesn’t the investment you wish to make in the rest of your life warrant the best consideration? This is where I have helped in the past and can help you now.

DOESN’T THE INVESTMENT YOU WISH TO MAKE IN THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WARRANT THE BEST CONSIDERATION?

My mother, Helen Spain, was motivated to form TRYST in 1988 because her work with successful people in high-pressure careers showed her that finding a life-long mate is largely a matter of chance. She observed highly intelligent and skilled people so given to their careers or life styles that they did not have time or energy to go through the process of widening their net of contacts with a view to partnership.

More than that, the experience of TRYST is that the average person has never received proper guidance in what is involved in being permanently conjoined with someone else. How can you be expected to consider what it will be like if the person exciting you now ceases to excite you in the future. Is that what it is all about? Excitement and gratification?

I am not suggesting that finding a partner should be equated to buying consumer items. But neither do I subscribe to the Hollywood ideal that we should marry only for romantic love. While we do believe in romance at TRYST, we also supply the experienced and level headed advice that infatuated people can neglect. We see romance in a partnership as resulting from living long term with the right person for you, not as a temporary quality to spice-up the selection process.

The history of TRYST is filled with the delight of helping clients to break out of a ‘living rut’ wherein their powers of choice were constrained into repeating the same old mistakes. Why is it that so many people can separate from one incompatible person only to take up with someone very similar? Have you found that you needed to change someone in some way to make them more acceptable to your way of life? Did it work? It so often does not. Our achievements over the years include helping individuals to join with a loving and supportive partner in such a way that their individual life plans or ambitions meld into a joint expectation. We make sense out of the pain or fear of rejection. We can be the ones you turn to in moments of doubt, crisis or ecstasy.

I hope this brief look at the background and history of TRYST will inspire you to rely on our services, as have so many couples now living successfully and happily together.

The romantic meeting

The dictionary definition of the word TRYST is “an appointment; to meet secretly or confidentially; the romantic meeting itself”. From the start TRYST has been a completely confidential and personal support service. I undertake all interviews, analyse clients, match people for compatibility and suggest who meets whom. I always work with people as individuals. I can provide personal
development coaching to supplement the practical advice and guidance we aim to offer.
