We handpick the people most compatible with you, then invite you to an evening to meet them for meaningful conversations.
While dating apps optimise attention and speed dating optimises speed, MATCH & MEET optimises compatibility, so you meet the right people.
What frustrates people, and what we do about it
Tap a problem to see how we answer it.
These describe common experiences with typical apps and speed-dating events, not any one company. We do not guarantee a match or a relationship. The Compatibility Passport and your matchmaker help you meet people worth meeting.

Our assessment draws on a 23,000-person study of couples in Australia, the UK and Germany, a 43-study analysis of what predicts relationship quality, Thai research on couple bonding and family responsibility, and research on same-sex couples. It shows that how each person relates, and how two people cope together, matter more than simply being alike. We keep a register of every source and only cite what we have checked.

We do not match on one score. Your non-negotiables, your fit across seven areas of real-couple research (emotional fit, communication, values, lifestyle, intimacy, practical plans and attraction), what matters most to you and a matchmaker’s own judgement each narrow the list before anyone is introduced.

Who you meet is decided by how well you fit, not by who photographs best. Your photos are seen only by our matchmaking team.
04 of 5
When you meet people who already fit your values, your expectations and the way you handle life, there is far less to second-guess: fewer mismatched dates, fewer heartbreaks you saw coming and less wondering whether this person is serious. Every guest is reviewed, and a matchmaker checks every shortlist.

A host guides each evening and you get time to talk properly. If the interest is mutual afterwards, we make the introduction, so a good evening does not end at the door.
How we choose who you meet
Chemistry gets two people talking. What keeps them together is how they build and live a relationship, day after day. Our compatibility model looks at seven areas drawn from research on couples who last, and arranges them like a house.
Shared values are the foundation. Lifestyle and practical plans are the floor you live on. How you feel together, talk things through and stay close are the pillars that hold it up. Attraction is the roof: it matters, but it rests on everything below it.
What the research says
45%
Relationship-specific factors such as appreciation, commitment, conflict and sexual satisfaction explained up to 45% of the differences in relationship quality, against 21% for individual traits. Across 43 studies of couples.

In a study of this many people in Australia, the UK and Germany, similarity in personality added little. What each person brings, and how they treat each other, mattered more.

85 years
The Harvard Study of Adult Development, begun in 1938, found satisfaction in relationships, especially marriage, was the best predictor of who would be happy and healthy at 80, ahead of midlife cholesterol.

Looks
In speed dating, looks drew interest in the moment, but what people said they wanted in a partner did not predict who they actually liked. Ideal lists are a poor guide, so we match on how people really relate.

Research shows what tends to predict satisfied couples. It cannot promise an outcome for any one person. Physical attraction is real and we include it, but it does not decide who you meet.
The wait is over!
What if your next first date felt different? Choose an upcoming event and meet the people most compatible with you, not people picked at random.
