Atlanta
"I was tired of apps where nobody shared my faith or my culture. Matched here and had a real date in Atlanta within a week — no endless texting first. She walked in and we just clicked."

Marcus, 35
Houston
"Both of us confirmed and both of us showed up. After years on apps where people ghost after matching, having that commitment built in was the one thing that made this feel real."

Darius, 36
NYC
"She already shared the faith and the cultural context — no slow reveal, no hoping she'd be okay with church mattering to me. Best first date I've had in years. Asked to see her again before I'd finished my coffee."

Frequently Asked Questions
How does pricing work?
$33 per date — pay only when you're matched and ready to meet. No subscription, no monthly fees, no hidden charges. One match, one coffee, one flat price.
How are matches made?
Our matchmakers hand-pick one compatible person based on your faith background, preferences, and values. Faith alignment is central — you never have to explain what matters most on a first date.
Is my personal data safe?
Absolutely. We use bank-level encryption and never share your data with third parties. Your profile is only visible to your match.
What happens on the coffee date?
You meet at a curated cafe for 60 minutes. No pressure, no awkward exit — just a real conversation. Exchange contact info if there's a connection.
What if I don't feel a connection?
That's completely fine. No obligation to exchange numbers. We respect your limited time — we'll find you another match that fits better.
How does AI photo enhancement work?
Upload a casual photo and our AI creates an illustrated avatar in 20 seconds. Your match sees your style, not your face — the real spark happens at the cafe.
