matchmaking services

Pairing hopeful singles

Matchmaking services are businesses that help people find romantic partners or spouses.

Traditional matchmakers interviewed clients and proposed compatible matches based on criteria like background, values, and life goals.

Modern services range from dating apps with algorithmic matching to high-end agencies with personal consultants: She signed up for a matchmaking service after giving up on dating apps.

The term also applies to business contexts where intermediaries connect companies or investors.
