Don't take my word for it

Take theirs

MK messages everyone the morning after their first date. These are the replies, word for word. Names changed, nothing else touched.

How it works

  1. Step 01:Fill in the form

    Twenty questions, about ten minutes. The first one, "what do you love?", is the most important question on the form.

  2. Step 02:MK matches you herself

    No algorithm and no swiping. She reads every form and matches on her own intuition, the way she has done it from the start.

  3. Step 03:You get one email

    Your date, your time, your place, and a calendar invite. That is the whole thing. Turn up and be a smokeshow vibe.

Meet your matchmaker

MK is a writer, a lover of love & by her own description, a Smokeshow. If you want to know who is matching you, this is her. Every picture goes to the post it came from.

Straight answers

The things people ask MK before they sign up.

Is this an app?
MK

No. There is nothing to download and no profiles to browse. You fill in a form, MK matches you, and you get an email. That is on purpose.

Do I see a photo first?

You do not. It is a blind date. You meet over drinks in London and find out in person. That is the entire point of it.

What does it cost?

£35 for one date, up front, by card. Book three or five at once and each date costs less. The form shows you the prices. Your place is confirmed the moment the payment goes through.

What happens to my answers?

They are used to match you and nothing else. They are never sold, never shared outside the service, and deleted whenever you ask. See the privacy notice.

Do I have to drink?

Not remotely. It is a drinks date by tradition, not by rule. MK writes publicly about her own sobriety. Say so on the form and she will pick somewhere that works.
