How it works
Matchmaker is built on one idea: people are forced to invest — to get to know each other as people — before they ever see a face or set up a date.
Your profile is your voice
Instead of a photo gallery, you write a short paragraph about nothing — at least 100 words of you just sounding like you. Add a profile picture, the facts from your driver's license (age, sex, eyes, hair, height, weight), a few categories about who you are and what you're looking for, and answers to personality questions in your own words. That's what people fall for: your voice.
10 likes, total
Set your search criteria and browse. You can have at most 10 likes out at a time, so each one means something. When someone likes you, you see their full profile and decide.
Hearts need a yes from both
When two people like each other, both get a heart — and both must accept it. The moment you both say yes, you go exclusive: your other likes pause, browsing locks, and it's just the two of you.
Write letters
Message as much as you like, any length. But only messages of 200+ words count as letters — and only letters move you forward. Short notes never add up to one. Imagine you are talking to your best friend.
Earn the photo
When you've each sent 3 letters — and you've known each other at least 3 days — the full body photos unlock. Letters and days match: you can't rush it, and neither can they.
Then the real world
6 letters each and day 6 unlock contact info — email and phone — plus the first-date planner, where you propose a time and place and your match accepts. From there, it's up to the two of you.
The exit ramp
Either person can end the conversation at any time. Your paused likes come back, the people who liked you are re-notified, and you're browsing again. No hard feelings — that's the point of finding out.
