Why Matches Are Mutual
At MyCheekyDate, every connection begins with mutual interest.
This isn’t a technical rule or a formality — it’s a core value that protects comfort, consent, and the integrity of the experience. This page explains why matches are mutual, how that benefits guests, and what it means for your speed dating experience.
What “Mutual” Means
A match occurs only when two people independently select each other.
That means:
Your interest is private
Their interest is private
A connection is created only when both align
One‑sided interest does not create a match, and no contact information is shared unless both parties opt in.
Why We Don’t Force Matches
Attraction can’t be negotiated, persuaded, or assigned.
Forcing introductions — or overriding someone’s choice — would undermine:
Personal comfort
Emotional safety
Genuine chemistry
Our role is to facilitate opportunity, not to manufacture outcomes.
Consent Comes First
Mutual selection ensures that:
No one feels pressured to respond
No one receives unwanted follow‑ups
Every connection begins on equal footing
This approach creates a more relaxed, respectful environment — both during the event and afterward.
Why Preferences Aren’t Guarantees
Preferences help us design events — such as age ranges and group balance — but they don’t guarantee attraction.
Chemistry is personal and subjective. Two people can meet all stated preferences and still not feel a spark.
Mutual matching respects that reality.
What This Means for Your Results
Some events result in multiple matches. Others result in none.
Both outcomes are honest reflections of real‑world connection.
A lack of matches does not mean:
You weren’t liked
You did something wrong
The event failed
It simply means interest didn’t align that evening.
What We Will — and Won’t — Do
To keep expectations clear:
We will:
Provide a structured, host‑led event
Offer a private way to express interest
Share contact details only with mutual consent
We won’t:
Override guest choices
Create matches without mutual interest
Pressure guests to connect
These boundaries are intentional and essential.
Why This Makes the Experience Better
Mutual matching leads to:
More comfortable follow‑ups
Fewer awkward interactions
Higher‑quality connections
A more enjoyable experience overall
When interest is shared, connection feels natural — not forced.
One Last Thought
Speed dating works best when it mirrors real life: choice, consent, and mutual curiosity.
By keeping matches mutual, MyCheekyDate creates space for genuine connection — and protects the experience for everyone involved.
