About Us - The Crush Confidential


A Matchmaking Company
Vs. A Relationship Curation Company

It was the same story, over and over again. Single people meet through a matchmaking service, and then are not guided or coached about what to do next, or how to properly build a relationship after the first date. The Crush Confidential was birthed from this concept…we launch RELATIONSHIPS, not just make matches.

Did you know that when matchmaking companies talk about their high success percentages, they are referring to just the first meetings, where both people said, “yes” to a second date? That’s it. That is the definition of “success” in the matchmaking industry. Why? Because matchmaking companies do not follow their couples’ journeys and gather data after their first date. These organizations are simply introduction services, and frankly, there are a ton of them, all with an identical business model. That is why we launch new relationships after three successful dates with the same person.

A traditional matchmaking company functions primarily as an introduction service, but The Crush Confidential operates as a full Relationship Curation Agency—an entirely different and far more effective model. Our signature 3-date framework, which has produced outstanding success for clients nationwide, ensures compatibility is evaluated through real-world interaction rather than one-off first impressions that often lead to ghosting or miscommunication. Every package includes personalized date coaching to help clients navigate early-stage connections with clarity and confidence. Behind the scenes, our dedicated team of coaches, recruiters, and matchmakers collaborates to curate meaningful matches, guide each step of the dating experience, and support clients as they move toward lasting partnership. This holistic, hands-on approach sets a new standard in the industry and delivers measurable results.
