The first matchmaking service of its kind
We are the very first matchmaking service to incorporate your friend's approval in the process.
Research shows the social network effect is one of the strongest predictors of lasting love. We are active in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and London.
Step 1
We learn all about you.
This includes a personality test, love language assessment, a unique questionnaire, and more. We take the time to truly understand who you are before we ever begin the search.
Step 2
We find your best matches.
We are always looking for your person, and we will go up to anyone, anywhere. Let us do the vetting for you across LA, San Francisco, and London.
Step 3
Best Friend Approved.
Opt-in for your best friend to come into the picture. We will not match you unless your best friend approves. Because the people who know you best, know best.
Step 4
You go on your dream date.
We will set up your first date from start to finish. Leave the planning to us. That pre-first-date feeling — butterflies, nerves, real anticipation — that is what we are here for.
"Across several different research groups, something referred to as the social network effect has emerged. The social network effect states that our relationships with romantic partners are enhanced when our other social ties approve of the partner — and that social network disapproval can lead to the end of a romantic relationship."Psychology Today
