Ancient Wisdom, Modern Love:
Chinese Wisdom for Dating Success
For centuries, Chinese people have been distilling everything from philosophical ideas to folk wisdom to advice on relationships into short, memorable, and often humorous sayings called “chengyu” (成語).
These ancient phrases and their relatable wisdom that I myself heard growing up are a core part of my matchmaking practice as I advise my clients on successfully navigating dating and building relationships.

Testimonials
“Getting married during pandemic was an adjustment and we made it work. Now you can add another success story to your list!”
“Cassie has been a matchmaker since her college days at Wellesley. There she built an impressive database of eligible singles and again and again proved an innate knack for making great matches among students at Wellesley, Harvard, MIT, Yale, etc. She helped me identify my now husband. He is my one true love. He understands, accepts, and celebrates me. Without her sage advice, I would not be married today.”
“Cassindy introduced. Our backgrounds were very similar, and we had lot in common, yet we would not have met without her nudge. We fell in love the day we first met and we’ve been married ever since. Cassindy is a friend for life!”
