Let a Real Dating Expert Weigh In

An algorithm can only work with what you tell it. Expert Picks adds something different, a real dating expert who looks at your preferences and hand-selects a profile they think is genuinely worth your attention. It's a second, human opinion layered right on top of your own search.

How does it work?

A human perspective, added to your own search

1

Share your preferences and goals

Your profile and stated preferences give our experts what they need to work with, your lifestyle, what you're looking for, and the kind of relationship you're hoping to find. The more complete that picture, the more useful their picks can be.

2

Receive a hand-picked profile

Every few days, a real dating expert sends a profile directly to your inbox, chosen specifically with your situation in mind rather than generated automatically. It's a short, thoughtful suggestion rather than another long list to sort through.

3

Decide what happens next

Not every pick will feel right, and that's fine, another will follow shortly after. When one does resonate, you can reach out just like you would with any other match.

Paid feature

A second opinion, from someone who actually looks

Self-service search works well when you know exactly what you're looking for. But sometimes it helps to have someone else's eyes on it too, someone who can think about your specific situation rather than run the same logic for everyone.

That's what Expert Picks adds. It doesn't replace your own search, Discover, or Highlights, it sits alongside them, giving you an occasional, thoughtful suggestion from a real person rather than an algorithm alone. A little more supported, a little less solitary.

Yes. Expert Picks connects your dating journey to an actual expert thinking specifically about what, and who, works for you.

You'll typically receive a new hand-picked profile every few days directly in your inbox, so there's no need to wait long between suggestions.

Not always. We can't guarantee this feature in every state, and it may not be available while you're traveling, so it's worth checking if it's not showing up for you.
