Just a conversation.

Cupid is a matchmaker you text. It gets to know you like a friend would, then introduces you to someone it actually believes in. Video date first, 15 minutes, first names only. Numbers move only when you both say yes.

Hey! I'm Cupid. I get to know you by texting, then introduce you to people I think you'd actually click with. No swiping, no profiles, just this.
Honestly a mix. Love a good hike but also happy staying in with a movie. I'm 28, work in tech
A mix like that is rare, noted. What kind of tech work? And after a year of being single, what made you want to try this out now?
Looking for someone curious, kind, doesn't take themselves too seriously
When you say "curious", what does that look like in real life? Someone who asks a lot of questions, reads a ton, always trying new restaurants?

How it works

1

Text Cupid

One phone number. No app, no account, no photo grid. Just start talking.

2

It learns you

A few honest conversations. Values, humor, dealbreakers, what you're actually looking for.

3

Anonymous video date

When two people are genuinely compatible and both say yes: a private, time-limited video call. No names. No pressure. No exchanged numbers.

4

Connect for real

If you both felt it, Cupid swaps your numbers. If not, no harm done. Nobody got your number.

How matching actually works

No black box. Here's the real algorithm.

Hard filters first

Some things aren't preferences, they're requirements. These eliminate a pair entirely, no matter how good the rest looks:

  • Mutual gender preference (checked both directions)
  • Age range (both directions)
  • Location
  • Stated dealbreakers. A "no smokers" is a wall, not a weight

Then weighted compatibility

  • 30% Relationship intent alignment
  • 25% Shared interests
  • 25% Shared values
  • 20% Personality complementarity

Two people both looking for something long-term, with overlapping values and a compatible sense of humor, beat a hundred mutual right-swipes.

Privacy is structural

  • Phone numbers are SHA-256 hashed, never stored in plaintext
  • Reverse lookups use AES-256-GCM encryption
  • The database accepts zero client connections, server only
  • Video rooms are anonymous, time-limited, auto-deleted
  • Your name is shared exactly once: when you both consent

Pay for introductions, not subscriptions

Your first introduction is free. After that:
