Real stories from real first dates.

Amina, 34
Toronto
"Three years on Minder and nothing serious. Signed up here and had a real date in Toronto within a week. No drawn-out messaging phase, no wondering if the person is even serious. She was serious. So was I."

Ibrahim, 35
"Once we both confirmed, that was it — we were going. She showed up, I showed up. The date happened. That sounds obvious but it's apparently not obvious on any app I've tried."

Khadija, 33
"I was a little nervous explaining this to my parents — 'an app set up my date' doesn't sound great. But when I described the public café and the vetting, they were immediately on board. He was new to our community circles, which I liked."
