A common question asked of Chief Psychologist Dr. Jason Camu is, “what sort of guarantee does Valenti International offer?”

Forming a romantic relationship is potentially one of the greatest experiences in one’s life. However, the fantasy of a dream partner must also be reconciled with the basic reality that finding, selecting, and courting that person is inherently challenging. A promise or guarantee of a romantic outcome trivializes how difficult it may be to select the right partner. As an ethically responsible organization Valenti International would never make such a claim or promise. Rather, the organization strives to work diligently with their clients to reach a collaborative goal of a romantic union.

Promises of romance or matching often play on fantasy and wishes. Clients may be led to believe that because a service is involved they can merely check boxes and order a partner like a commodity; often what is missing is the basic realization that the person they have selected (from a dream) must select them in return. What becomes evident is that the reality of a relationship is lost in the promising glow of romance. Conversely, Valenti international makes no promise or guarantee of romance or success. Rather the organization makes a concerted and sincere effort to select a suitable partner.

Of course, psychological sciences are profoundly limited when considering the millions of variables that constitute human character and personality. Thus, services making promises are simply playing on fantasy. We make no assurances or guarantees, except that the team with the best of intentions will try to help our clients achieve the romance they want.
