Dating in Melbourne
can feel like this

Many of our members
told us the same things

  1. 01

    Growing anxiety

    Another year goes by
    and friends are settling down

  2. 02

    Pressure from parents

    Every video call ends with
    'so, anyone special yet?'

  3. 03

    Not sure how to start

    Hard to make the first move
    and dates go quiet

  4. 04

    Too reserved

    Sincere but slow to warm up,
    so people miss the real you

A Melbourne story

Two people far from home
found a home in each other

She was born in 1991 and works as a barista in Melbourne. After a long-distance relationship ended, she stayed away from dating for a long time. Her matchmaker listened to every worry, helped her rebuild her confidence, and introduced a French-cuisine chef born in 1989. Both are from Malaysia, and she felt at ease from the first date. He later met her parents, and the two set a date for their wedding.
