When We First  Reviews 19

I've been working with When We First for a couple of months now and I'm very happy with my experience so far. They are super professional, very thoughtful in their approach, and always looking to go the extra mile to help you find connection. Dating isn't easy in 2026 and I appreciate having the extra care and attention to detail that When We First brings day in, day out.

Bottom Line: I absolutely recommend When We First.

Dating with When We First feels different because you’re not just being set up with someone who, on paper, is a match; you’re getting thoughtful support before and after each introduction (tips, coaching, and real guidance).

I’ve been working with Claudia for a few months, and the experience has truly renewed my optimism about dating. She listens without judgment, offers honest insight, and is genuinely your biggest cheerleader.

It’s a slower, more intentional dating process, but it has been the most meaningful dating experience I’ve ever had. Without endless swiping or wondering if there’s a “better” profile one click away, I feel more confident owning my dating goals and trusting the process. I have complete faith in Claudia and the team to help me achieve them.

Dating will always have its ups and downs, but with When We First, you have a team not only helping you navigate it, but also cheering you on.

It’s been the most refreshing dating experience, and I truly believe they’re helping me get closer to my last first date. 😊

I've been working with Sheri for a few months and really appreciate her. She's always available to check in and answer any questions, and I feel like she genuinely cares and is very willing to take feedback! I've had a few first dates and all have been great first dates. Though I haven't yet met my match, I'm appreciative because I know I'm going on more dates with Sheri's help than I would on my own!

First date with When We First and it was absolute perfection. We had so much in common we were laughing and talking the whole time. He was such an amazing person and we already have our second date planned. I don’t think I’ve ever been on a date with someone who has so much in common with me.

Available for any questions, engaged in susbtatnial outreach for clients, hosts an interesting and engaging variety of social events for members and new guests, overall exciting and a good way to get guidance in navigating a murky dating scene

When We First is premium and 2nd to none. Highly Recommended!

I signed up in February, really excited to explore matchmaking! However, I quickly learned not all they pitched is true. The company is very new and seems to have limited men available to match you with. From 4 dates I went on, only 1 was a potential match.

I have found the matchmaking experience soul sucking and unpleasant. I wish whoever wishes to try this luck, but I would have preferred simply going on a vacation to meet new people.

When I first joined When We First, I was excited to try a service that offered a truly personal, human-centered approach to matchmaking. They focus on getting to know you beyond just a profile, pairing you with matches who align with your values, personality, and relationship goals. It felt refreshing to work with a team dedicated to both finding quality matches and helping you grow in the dating process.

For the past 7 weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of working with my matchmaker, Claudia. She is warm, kind, and incredibly easy to talk to. From day one, she’s taken the time to understand who I am and what I’m looking for, then thoughtfully explained why each match she presents could be a great fit. Getting matched has been my favorite part of the process. I look forward to hearing her describe the women she’s found for me and the character qualities she sees aligning between us.

So far, I’ve been matched with two amazing women—one where I had a fantastic first date, and another with a date coming up soon. Along the way, Claudia has also been an incredible coach, helping me shift from putting early pressure on myself and my matches to simply enjoying the connection and letting things develop naturally. She often reminds me of my strengths, from being a respectful gentleman to a creative, romantic, and fun guy to go on a date with. Plus, she encourages me to bring my authentic self into every interaction.

When We First has been a genuinely fun, growth-filled experience, and I’m grateful for how intentional and encouraging Claudia has been in this journey. I look forward to where our partnership together could lead.

Sheri has been incredible to work with. She's kind, thoughtful in her questions, and really respectful of the process. She made everything feel easy and natural. 10/10 I'd recommend her to anyone looking to find a meaningful connection. 🤍

A wonderful experience and different than any other dating platform I’ve tried. My matchmaker Sheri has been a delight. Very helpful and engaging throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend When We First to anyone looking to find their person.

I worked with Sheri. From the first interview, she took the time to ask insightful, curated questions grounded in emotional intelligence and a deep understanding of compatibility. The company is new, and I heard that only selected individuals were invited to be part of their exclusive network. Sheri was always available and attentive on the follow-up calls. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a matchmaking service. Worth it

I’d highly recommend Sheri to folks navigating the early days of a new relationship and making sense of their thoughts over time as the relationship evolves. Checking in with her for coaching each week has been really meaningful. It’s helpful to have an expert and outside listening ear and thought partner who can ask thoughtful questions and create a safe place to explore my thoughts and feelings, especially since there’s no concern that she’ll then see my partner and I in regular life and be biased by anything I shared (like a friend or family member might). I’m really grateful to have the dedicated and consistent time to check in, think, and talk about the relationship in a different way than I would on my own. Especially for some of the more challenging things to process as the relationship develops, Sheri has been really supportive and offered exceptional guidance. She has great energy and is very positive, funny, and thoughtful. I’ve had a wonderful experience with her and am so grateful for her coaching as I navigate a new and deeply personal and meaningful experience.

Sheri is amazing! She is thorough, really gets to know you and what you are looking for in a partner. Once I found someone, she was extremely supportive and provided helpful advice on how to navigate a new relationship. She has been a huge support helping me navigate a new chapter in my life.

I was hesitant to sign up, I meet people well on my own and several years ago worked with a similar service without results. "When We" was a completely different experience and produced excellent results. Sheri takes the time to get to know you and has the resources to find a quality match. Saving me time and energy so I can focus on my business while Sheri professionally interviews and searches for my match is priceless!

When We First was truly a great experience! My matchmaker Sheri, really takes the time to get to know you and what you're looking for. Her personalized approach and genuine care made all the difference - I felt supported and understood every step of thew way. Highly recommend When We First!

here is my story. My name is Tom. I’m divorced with three amazing kids married for 30 years. after my divorce I was resigned to the fact that you don’t get second chances to fall in love and I thought well I get to live my life with my three wonderful kids and I’ll just be happy watching them fall in love and live their life. One day by the grace of God, I happen to meet this beautiful person named Sandra. I told her my story and that I was resigned to the fact that you don’t get second chances to fall in love she disagreed with me immediately. She said Tom there might be a woman out there who just wants exactly what you want and you’re never gonna know unless you try. I procrastinated for quite some time and she took the time to come out to visit me and said let’s do your profile. Let’s see if you match with someone. At that point I jokingly was like what the hell it’ll be a laugh. I think maybe four or five hours later she said Tom I think this woman would be perfect for you. she initially said she wasn’t even thinking about me for this woman, but she said something to her that automatically made her think about me. So we went on a date. It was just dinner, but it was wonderful. She was beautiful, smart funny and I was nervous. I’ve been out of the dating scene. I was really unsure of what to say and what to do and try not to talk too much but I knew there was something there. We’re on our fourth date and making future plans. I feel like I’m 21 years old again . It’s a wonderful feeling. The best advice I could give you don’t wait when given a second chance . Life is wonderful when you shared with somebody that you want to be with

Sheri has been fantastic. She has taken the time to really get to know my preferences and match me accordingly with people who really fit what I am looking for in a partner. She is extremely thoughtful, understanding, detail oriented, and supportive and I’m happy to have her on my team. Looking forward to what's to come!!

Feeling motivated and open to getting back into dating. The support of Sheri as my matchmaker has truly resulted in an excellent introspective journey and she has demonstrated such a high level of understanding and focus. I have full confidence that When We First will ensure meaningful connections. Looking forward to what's to come.
