Matchmaking That Doesn't Stop
at the Introduction
The matchmaking vs dating service question comes down to one thing: what happens after the first meeting. A dating service hands you a phone number and disappears. We hand-select your matches, coach you through three real dates, and stay in it until the relationship is actually launched.

When a dating service advertises a high success rate, ask what they are counting. In almost every case, they are counting first meetings where both people agreed to a second date. That is the industry definition of success.
Nothing after that gets tracked. Most agencies never follow the couple past the first introduction, because the introduction is the entire product. Hundreds of firms run this identical model, a pattern documented across the industry by DatingAdvice.com.
The Crush Confidential was built to close that gap. We evaluate compatibility across three real dates with the same person, coach both sides in between, and only then call a relationship launched.
We saw the same story repeat: two people meet, nobody guides what happens next, and a promising match dies in the gap between date one and date two.

Amanda Hood, MBA, CLC
Two decades of marriage, three children, and an MBA. That combination is not a line on a resume. It is why I can recognize a relationship with real longevity in it, and why I refuse to call a second date a success.
I am not just a matchmaker. I am your love coach. My job is to make you comfortable enough to tell me the small, specific things that make you you, and then build a search around them.
You focus on your career, your friends, your family. I do the rest.
Get ready, singles.
