Why do you think Kopi Date worked so well for you?

F - The onboarding call was actually very helpful. It helped to filter incompatible dates beforehand, which actually saves me ton of time. The matching of interests was also very helpful. The physical connection and meet up also help play a part in getting to know someone better rather instead of having preconceived thoughts. This allowed me to find a really compatible lifetime partner that will elevate me and my career goals (probably) instead of drag me down.

I think the chats and advice from the team helped me in making practical decisions. To help me think through what is practical and also to help build connections that are not superficial or time wasting.

XF - It felt more intentional because Kopi Date allowed me to meet them face-to-face and quickly get the vibe-check from the first date and saved me a lot of time especially with the help of the curation of the dates hence it was personalised and feedback from each date helped further curations as well. I learnt that I enjoyed talking to new people and being open to building new connections. This experience was definitely a pleasant one and the Kopi Date team also helped immensely with the Bar Chat provided for follow-ups.

[I took the time to] be intentional to knowing the person first and physical appearance to be secondary helped me to make better objective and practical decisions in my dating.

XF - Recommend Kopi Date! It reduces the time spent on swiping especially in the adulting stage where work is so busy and the time can be better spent doing other things. Taking the first step may initially be scary but try stepping out of your comfort zone and it’s definitely an experience worth trying and also discovering more about yourself!
