The algorithm ranked her third, but Matchmaker Lin Peiwen elevated Michelle to first choice after the in-depth interview. Her judgement stemmed from a detail the data never captured:
"Ethan mentioned 'someone waiting for me to come home' three times — what he truly needed was not independence, but someone who is deeply loving without being clingy. Michelle's INFJ personality combined with her family business background made her exactly that: a woman with her own world, yet profoundly serious about love."
KL-based Matchmaker Xiaohua Chen also observed:Michelle's past disappointments all stemmed from overbearing partners — Ethan's sense of boundaries was precisely the respect she needed.Both Matchmakers confirmed through the collaborative mechanism: introduction approved.
During onboarding, Michelle specified "Preferred city: Singapore," indicating her intent to relocate. Both parties' location preferences were naturally compatible, triggering n03 Cross-Border MatchingProcess:
| Phase | What Was Done |
|---|---|
| Dual-Matchmaker Assessment | Joint review by SG Matchmaker Lin Peiwen and KL Matchmaker Chen Xiaohua. If either party declines, the introduction does not proceed |
| M3 Video Call | 3 sessions within 14 days. Get to know each other thoroughly before deciding whether to meet across cities |
| M4 In-Person Meeting | Michelle proactively flew to Singapore; Ethan planned the entire visit |
| Contact | Decrypted only after authorisation from both Matchmakers — members cannot access this independently |
In December 2025, Ethan made his official declaration at a restaurant along Singapore's Marina Bay. Michelle said, "Yes."
From the system's initial introduction (M2) to a confirmed relationship (M5), the journey took six weeks. Michelle is currently applying for a Singapore work visa and plans to relocate in the first half of next year.
"I thought the cross-city distance would be a major obstacle. But the Matchmaker helped us build enough understanding before we met, so when we finally did, it felt surprisingly natural."
"We talked for two hours on our very first call. I knew right then — this person was unlike anyone I had ever met."
Every genuine encounter begins with a sincere decision.
