Matchmaking Services
A different way to meet people: instead of swiping yourself, a professional matchmaker sources, screens, and introduces candidates on your behalf. It costs far more than a dating app — often thousands of dollars — and works completely differently. Here's everything on this site about matchmaking.

Who matchmaking suits
Matchmaking tends to make the most sense for busy professionals who want to outsource the searching and screening process, people who've had limited success with apps and want a more curated approach, and anyone with a specific, well-defined budget for a serious, time-boxed search. It's a poor fit for casual daters or anyone not ready for a real financial commitment. See our dating for professionals hub for related guidance.
