LinkUp Matchmaking: Let a Real Team Help Find Your Person

Not everybody has the energy to swipe.

If you work long hours, if you're past thirty and tired of small talk, or if you simply know exactly what you want and can't find time to look, you probably wish a trusted person would just introduce you to someone. That's the old fashioned way people met in Nigeria for generations: an auntie, a friend, a pastor's wife who knew a nice young man.

LinkUp is that idea, built into MyPerson.

What LinkUp is

LinkUp is private matchmaking. You tell the MyPerson team who you're looking for. Our team then delivers hand checked picks to your chat. It's a paid service, and separate from the swipe style Discover feed.

Who it suits

• Busy professionals with more money than time.
• People who've tried everything and still haven't clicked.
• People with a specific list: faith, tribe, location, career, family plans.
• People who want privacy and don't want to be on a public deck.
• Anyone who prefers a human touch to an algorithm.

How it goes

1. You describe the person you want and what you offer. Be specific, but honest. 2. The team reviews your request and checks profiles that could fit. 3. Picks arrive in your chat. 4. You decide whether to say hello, and the usual MyPerson tools are all there: free voice and video calls, SafeDate, verification badges.

Make the most of it

Be clear on your dealbreakers and flexible on the rest. "Must be Christian and want children in the next five years" is useful. "Must be 6 feet and own a car" is a shopping list. Tell us what really matters to you.

And be ready to put yourself out there. People you've been introduced to are still strangers. Keep your safety habits: video call first, meet in public, tell a friend.

LinkUp or Discover?

You can do both. Discover is free, fast and full of options. LinkUp is slower, more private and more selective. Try Discover to learn what you like, then use LinkUp to narrow it down. For tips on the free route, see how Discover works.

Small print worth knowing

LinkUp is a paid service. Check the app for current options and prices. It helps you meet people, but no service can guarantee chemistry. You still have to show up and be yourself.
