Inside DateSpot Matchmaking
Discover how we work, meet the matchmaker behind the introductions, and see why our process succeeds where the apps fail.

How Does It Work?
Create Your Account
Complete a fun and insightful questionnaire so we can understand your background, lifestyle, and preferences. This helps us identify deep-level compatibility among our members.
Get A Match Review (or Wait For Free)
You can pay for a $49 Match Review, where we assess your match potential within our network. You’ll receive a personalized overview of your opportunities, including top Recommended Dates.
If you qualify to be a Client with 15+ potentials, we'll invite you to book a Match Strategy Call ($295) for optional dedicated support.
Otherwise, you can just join the database and wait for any future matches to be identified.
Select Who You're Interested In
If you get a Match Review, you select who you’d like to meet, if there's mutual interest. Those who pay for a Match Review receive one proactive search and ad hoc options after. Clients receive at least one Recommended Date per week for four months.
Whatever tier you're in, you always get a say in who you meet based on detailed profiles with photos. You only pay when there is mutual interest.
Meet & Share Feedback
We intro people via text for you to arrange the video or in person date, or we can coordinate for an add-on fee. Afterwards, share feedback via a quick form so we can refine with future matches if needed. We share relevant feedback to Clients to provide clarity and opportunities for growth.

Who Is Matching Me?
Your initial evaluation and matching process is led by Carla Guarnay, founder of DateSpot and a Silicon Valley-based matchmaker with over 12 years of experience (since 2014). She is the Founder of The Matchmaker Directory for industry professionals, making her one of the most well-connected love connectors in the field. She is also a wife, mom, and tennis/pickleball lover.
Unlike matchmaking services that separate sales people from matchmakers, your full experience is personally directed by Carla, with her as your main point of contact, so your process stays consistent with the same expert from start to finish.

How We Match Members
We are extremely thoughtful and efficient about how we match people, combining profile data, compatibility research, advanced tech, and personal intuition.
We know that most successful partnerships are within 15 years and use that as a max range. We also think your match should balance you in personality and energy.
Here is a partial list of what we take into account and can filter by:
- RelocationPeople who are open to moving to you anytime or eventually.
- EducationSimilar levels are common in couples, but we ask how important it is to you.
- Drinking habitsDrinking “socially” is too general. We break it down into five dimensions.
- Drug habitsFrequency of use & what you’re open to in a partner, even by type.
- Smoking habitsHow often you smoke cigarettes and what you're open to in a partner.
- Fitness levelHow frequently someone works out to help determine lifestyle alignment.
- PetsWhether someone has a dog and/or cat and how they feel about them.
- Eating habitsWhether you eat everything, are health-conscious, a vegetarian, etc.
- PersonalityTraits like intellectually curious, kind, growth-oriented, athletic, adventurous, etc.
- ValuesWhat do you prioritize in your life - independence, family time, ambition, etc.
- InterestsThere should be some overlap, and we can filter for any hobbies you love.
- Religious viewsHow do you identify, how do you practice, and how important is alignment?
- Political affiliationWhat you identify with politically and importance of alignment
- Love languagesWhich of the 5 Love Languages do you give and want to receive most.
- FamilyFamily-oriented, close with their birth family, froze their eggs, etc.
