Dating in Toronto
can feel like this

Many of our members
told us the same things

01
Growing anxiety
Another year goes by
and friends are settling down
02
Pressure from parents
Every video call ends with
'so, anyone special yet?'
03
Not sure how to start
Hard to make the first move
and dates go quiet
04
Too reserved
Sincere but slow to warm up,
so people miss the real you

A Toronto story

The right person
was ten minutes away

She was born in 1997 and teaches early childhood education. Past dates hadn't been serious, and she had almost stopped hoping. He was born in 1999, a software engineer with few chances to meet women. While matching them, their matchmaker noticed they lived just ten minutes apart. They saw each other six times in the first week. The matchmaker helped her let go of old defences and showed him how to put his feelings into action. Today they are house-hunting together.
