Two Paths to Connection — One Shared Purpose
MyCheekyDate offers two distinct experiences:
Matchmaking Date-Nights and Networking/Speed Dating Events.
Both are designed to create genuine romantic opportunities — but they operate differently, attract different goals, and offer different outcomes.
This page explains those differences clearly and transparently.
What Is a Matchmaking Date-Night?
Matchmaking is a personalised, curated introduction service.
It includes:
private blind dates
arranged venues
schedules coordinated for you
thoughtful written introductions
and a dedicated matchmaking team
Each introduction is:
privately arranged
one-on-one
human-curated
preference-based
designed for deeper alignment
It is dating built around connection — not volume.
What Is a Networking / Speed Dating Event?
Networking/speed dating events are:
hosted group evenings
with structured rotations
fun, energetic, social atmospheres
where you meet multiple people in one night
Every attendee meets everyone else (within event design).
Events are meant to:
explore
get comfortable
learn your preferences
enjoy social energy
and experience a room full of singles
Events offer access; matchmaking offers focus.
The Core Difference: Choice vs Curation
Networking Events
You choose who you connect with afterwards based on who you enjoyed in person.
Matches come from mutual interest after conversation.
Matchmaking
We choose who you meet — using your preferences, values, and compatibility data.
You are introduced one-on-one to someone selected specifically for you.
Both systems work — but they serve different needs.
Why Many Clients Use Both
Clients who attend events often:
match faster
receive matchmaking offers sooner
build confidence
refine preferences
become familiar to our team
and get to know the community
Events fuel matchmaking insight.
Matchmaking provides deeper, private outcomes.
Events Are Social; Matchmaking Is Intimate
Events are wonderful for:
breaking ice
meeting many people
having fun
trying new energy
and widening horizons
Matchmaking is ideal for:
depth
quiet settings
curated pairings
and one-on-one chemistry
Both experiences complement each other beautifully.
Events Show Us Who You Really Are
Many matchmaking insights come directly from:
how you interact with others
how people are drawn to you
how gracefully you communicate
and your social presence
This cannot be captured through forms or profiles alone.
Events are not separate from matchmaking — they enhance it.
Matchmaking Does Not Replace Events
Some clients ask why matchmaking doesn’t guarantee they’ll never attend events again.
The answer is simple:
Events and matchmaking are structurally different experiences.
Events bring choice to you
Matchmaking brings curated dates to you
One does not invalidate the other.
Networking Events Are Not Match Guarantees
It’s important to clarify:
A match at a networking event does not replace a matchmaking introduction.
Event matches are outcomes of mutual interest — not fulfilment of matchmaking service.
Matchmaking Is About Quality, Not Quantity
Events offer volume.
Matchmaking offers intention.
Event match potential depends on:
who attends
chemistry in the room
mutual interest
Matchmaking offers private introductions beyond event presence.
Which Option Is Right for You?
If you enjoy:
meeting many people
deciding for yourself
social atmospheres
Then networking events are perfect.
If you want:
curated introductions
privacy
personalised alignment
arranged date nights
Then matchmaking is better suited.
Most of our strongest love stories come from clients who did both.
Final Thought
There is no competition between event-based and matchmaking-based dating — there is synergy.
Events give you access.
Matchmaking gives you direction.
Together, they form a dating ecosystem unlike anything else available today.
