Matchmaking Works Because Two People Must Choose Each Other
Matchmaking isn’t one-sided — it’s connection-based.
For a date to happen through MyCheekyDate, both people must express interest and willingness to meet.
Mutual interest is not a small detail — it is the foundation of authentic dating.
1️⃣ We Never Force Matches
We do not:
persuade people to meet
pressure individuals
insist on introductions
or guarantee acceptance
Every Date-Night happens only when both participants are genuinely open to it.
Dating without mutual interest leads to poor outcomes — and we protect against that.
2️⃣ Mutual Interest Protects Emotional Safety
Blind-date matchmaking involves vulnerability.
Both individuals deserve to know the other person:
wants to be there
is curious
is ready
and is open-hearted
This creates comfortable, respectful Date-Nights.
3️⃣ Mutual Interest Improves Compatibility
Interest is a meaningful predictor of success.
It reflects:
attraction
timing
lifestyle alignment
dating goals
and openness
If someone declines a match, that information reveals compatibility automatically.
4️⃣ Declines Do Not Mean Failure
A declined match offer means:
“Not the right timing or fit,”
not
“Something is wrong with you.”
Mutual interest narrows toward better alignment.
5️⃣ Why You May Wait for a Match
Sometimes, a prospective Date-Mate will:
need more time
be away
be dating someone
have scheduling limits
We wait until both sides are ready.
Speed should never replace sincerity.
6️⃣ Mutual Interest Determines Order & Timing
Matchmaking is human.
We do not distribute matches:
first-come
first-served
or randomly.
We match based on:
mutual readiness
personality fit
scheduling harmony
location
emotional availability
This takes thought — and nuance.
7️⃣ Mutual Interest Reduces Disappointment
When both people want to be there, the date begins with shared excitement, not comparison.
It changes the emotional tone of the entire evening.
8️⃣ Mutual Interest Is Our Ethical Standard
We refuse to manufacture dates by:
pairing unwilling people
ignoring preference conflicts
or pushing dates to fill quotas
Ethics strengthen matchmaking.
Quotas destroy it.
9️⃣ Mutual Interest Creates Real Outcomes
Great blind dates begin with:
curiosity
possibility
respect
Mutual interest sets the stage for:
second dates
relationships
love
This is why we protect it fiercely.
10️⃣ You Cannot “Request” a Specific Person
We do not deliver matches by shopper request.
You cannot:
point to a dater
choose them
or skip others
Because matchmaking isn’t one-sided selection; it’s two-sided alignment.
11️⃣ Declining a Match Does Not Reset the Package
If a match is declined, it still counts —
because the alignment work and mutual interest efforts have already occurred.
Declines do not remove the legitimacy of the match itself.
12️⃣ Successful Romance Requires Shared Yes
Love begins when someone says “Yes” back.
This is the heart of dating.
Our systems respect that truth.
Final Thought
Mutual interest isn’t just a step in matchmaking —
it is the truth that makes dating meaningful.
Two people must be excited to meet one another.
That’s why matchmaking feels human, not transactional.
It’s why our community works.
