Meet people who share your interests

Turn shared interests into a personal first conversation.

Make your interests specific

A concert you would like to see or an activity you want to try gives someone more to respond to than a broad label. Choose interests that reflect you on Matchin and explain what you would like to share. Curiosity matters; you do not need to be an expert.

Start a personal conversation

Read the other person's profile and ask a simple question about a shared interest. Avoid copying the same message to everyone. A common interest starts a conversation, but does not guarantee compatibility. Respect differences and an unanswered message.

Move at your own pace

Matchin suggests profiles based on your interests and preferences. Mutual interest can lead to a conversation. If you both want to meet, agree on a short activity in a public place. Keep your home address and sensitive information private.
