About Love Science

Our story

We're a group of friends in New York who love throwing parties and playing with data. Since 2022 we've been throwing matchmaking parties connecting people with new friends and potential partners.

The model

Instead of guessing what makes people click, we worked with a social scientist who randomly assigned people to have hundreds of interactions and then rated the quality of their conversations. From this, we created an algorithm to predict compatibility.

And it works! When established couples take our survey, they usually rank in each other's top 10% of matches.

How it works

It starts with a personality survey to get to know you. Once we have your responses, we recommend platonic and romantic matches that our model predicts you'll get along with well.

As you meet people, your feedback on these connections helps improve our algorithm and your future matches. The more people participate, the better we get at understanding which traits and personalities vibe together.

Previously we have always facilitated matching through Love Science parties. This is the first year you'll be able to receive and connect with matches on an ongoing basis outside of parties via this web platform.

Your privacy

We take data privacy seriously. Your survey responses are kept strictly confidential and managed by our core data science team. You have full control over what information is shared with your matches, and all research data is fully anonymized. At any time you can delete your survey data and any other information shared with us.
