The Experience Begins With You

Matchmaking is more than an introduction — it’s a shared experience between two people who are meeting with openness, curiosity, and respect.
This page outlines expectations and etiquette that make each Date-Night comfortable and enjoyable for both daters.

Respect the Appointment

Your Date-Night is a real reservation at a real venue with a real person waiting to meet you.

Please:

  • arrive on time

  • honour the reservation

  • confirm attendance

  • communicate schedule changes early

A date cannot be successful if someone is left waiting.

Be Kind and Open-Minded

Even if you don’t feel chemistry, your Date-Mate deserves warmth and kindness.

Someone may not be “your person,” but they are someone else’s.

A successful date is not defined solely by romance — it’s defined by respect.

Show Courtesy to Venue Staff

Your behaviour reflects on you — and on us.

Please:

  • treat staff kindly

  • honour the reservation

  • follow dining etiquette

  • avoid unnecessary demands

Hosts and venues are our partners, and courtesy matters.

Dress With Intention

First impressions matter.

We recommend arriving:

  • well-groomed

  • neatly dressed

  • in attire suited to the venue

Effort helps you — and helps your match feel valued.

Honour Privacy and Boundaries

Do not request personal information during the date.

Your Date-Mate may choose to share contact details only after mutual interest is confirmed through us.

Respecting boundaries builds safety and trust.

Avoid Interview-Style Questioning

Curiosity is lovely; interrogation is not.

A natural, conversational approach makes the date more enjoyable than checklists or rapid-fire questions.

Stay Present — Not on Your Phone

Phone use during a date communicates disinterest.

Kindly:

  • silence your phone

  • avoid texting

  • put it away visibly

A Date-Night deserves your full attention.

Keep Conversation Balanced

A great date includes:

  • listening

  • asking questions

  • sharing stories

  • showing interest

Talking endlessly about yourself — or sharing nothing — reduces connection.

Balance invites attraction.

Avoid Oversharing or Trauma Dumping

Vulnerability builds intimacy — but a first date is not therapy.

Please avoid:

  • rants

  • trauma stories

  • bitterness

  • ex comparisons

  • highly personal medical disclosure

Warm, relaxed conversation works best.

Be Honest — Kindly

If you enjoyed the date, say so.
If you did not, be polite.

Honesty without cruelty is the hallmark of emotional maturity.

No Early Pressure

A first date should feel:

  • light,

  • curious,

  • and pressure-free.

Avoid:

  • discussing exclusivity

  • future marriage plans

  • sexual expectations

  • or rushing connection

The pace should unfold naturally.

No-Show Policy Reminder

If you do not show up for a confirmed date without notice:

  • your package may be forfeited

  • and the program may be discontinued

Respecting time is central to our culture.

Alcohol & Conduct

If you choose to drink, please do so responsibly.

Aggression, intoxication, or inappropriate behaviour results in immediate removal from the matchmaking program.

Financial Courtesy

Each dater is responsible for their own purchases unless they mutually choose otherwise.

There is no obligation for either party to cover the bill.

Post-Date Communication

After the date, you will:

  • share feedback with us

  • indicate interest

  • and decide if you want to continue

If both wish to see each other again, we facilitate contact.

If not, we move forward respectfully.

Remember: You Represent the Community

Your presence at a Date-Night reflects the tone of our entire matchmaking culture.

We’ve curated a community of kind, thoughtful daters — please uphold that standard with pride.

Closing Thought

Etiquette isn’t about rules — it’s about care.

Showing up fully, kindly, and respectfully gives chemistry every chance to thrive.

Even if romance doesn’t unfold, dignity will.
