How to use match in a sentence?

  1. Lillian Vilchez:

    The experts gave me confidence that they would match me with the right person. I probably answered I don’t even know how many questions [about] myself over and over and then so many interviews in person with them; so they did their due diligence on me. So I was just assuming they put all this thought and effort in matching me with someone else. I was nervous but they kind of gave me a little more confidence in making the decision. i decided to get married at first sight because the dating scene here in Miami is terrible. It is very hard to meet a quality person and to have the opportunity to have a panel of experts match you with someone that believe is an actual match to you, why not do this? I mean it’s amazing.
