partner the reason i started this matchmaking platform is through my own experience when my parents were looking for someone for me i didnt like the criteria like age height and income and i disagreed with dating and matrimonial sites where looks matter more than knowing peoplethrough andwemet we are relooking at relationships marriage should not be the only acceptable form of a committed relationship there is a domestic partnership or living companionship which is as committed as marriage you cannot box relationships and if a relationship fails its okay lets start looking at the health of the relationship rather than longevity says shalini when you signup we ask you things like are you willing to live with parents whats your sex drive what kind of relationship are you looking for exclusive open discrete etc along with your kyc and then we approve or disapprove it based on ones preferences they find a partner themselves from among genuine ones she adds the offline events include fun activities interactions games and social service activitieswhile there are a lot of takers for courses to enhance the dating experience that may pave the way for longterm relationships there are people like jeeviya natarajan a bengalurubased entrepreneur and sales consultant who feel most the dating siteapp users dont know what exactly they are looking fori have been on and off dating sites since 2019 what i feel is most of the people want to go with the flow rather than have clarity in what they seek says jeeviyait is not about being in a relationship there are people i met through the apps who are my very good friends today so when two mature people meet today you cannot predict what is going to happen tomorrow all that one can do is to have good connections she addstraining may help with etiquette many want the other person to take the lead all the time some ghost you during the middle of the conversation which gives a bad feeling of rejection it wouldnt hurt to drop a single line saying hey this is not working out sorry says anita agarwal working with a branding consultancy
