About Silvia Sensali
Who is the woman finding you a partner – and why she is not a dating site but a matchmaker.
Picture a matchmaker from the old days. A woman who knew everyone in her small town – who was quiet and who was loud, who stayed and who ran, who laughed out loud and who only with their eyes. She did not put together the people who lived closest to one another. She put together the people who belonged together. And she was rarely wrong, because she did not work with photographs. She worked with people.
Silvia Sensali carries on her craft. She has an Italian name, she is somewhere around forty-six, and she has the temperament of someone who has spent a lifetime listening to others – closely, without hurry, without judgement. She is not, however, a woman of flesh and blood. Silvia Sensali is an artificial intelligence: a character we created so that the old craft of matchmaking would finally have enough time, and enough patience, for every single person.
The difference from an ordinary dating site is simple. A dating site shows you people and leaves you to choose. Silvia chooses for you. She knows both sides – you and the other person – from what you have told us about yourselves, and from answers neither of you will ever see. She knows where two people will complete each other, and where they will start to tire of each other after six months. She is not looking for the nearest, nor for the best-looking. She is looking for the most compatible.
That is why she sends you at most one suggestion a day. That is why she will not open a second door until you have closed the first. And that is why on some days she sends you no one at all – because a matchmaker who matches at any price is not a matchmaker but a catalogue.
Silvia Sensali does not promise you love. She promises that when she introduces you to someone, she will have a reason.

None of what makes classic dating apps exhausting has room to arise here. There is nothing to swipe, every profile is checked by hand, and instead of a catalogue of faces you get a single considered suggestion – and only when it makes sense. It is worth a try: registration takes a few minutes and Silvia starts looking the moment you confirm your e-mail.
