About Couple

Fun Fact: They both unknowingly play pickleball at the same local spot—proof that love really can be just around the corner… or across the court. 🏓💛

From their very first conversation, Cliff and Cristina connected with ease. Both brought rich life stories, open hearts, and a shared desire to find someone who could truly see and support them. What followed was a natural, meaningful exchange that felt less like a first date and more like two people remembering how to feel at home.

Cristina is a vibrant, accomplished doctor who lives life with generosity and joy. Whether she’s attending cultural events, hiking with friends, or planning her next international adventure, she brings intention and heart to everything she does. She’s passionate, witty, and open—hoping for a partner who matches her energy and depth.

Cliff is a devoted father and widower with a warm soul and a romantic heart. His weekends often include sports, a great meal with his boys, and ongoing home projects—but also time to reflect, laugh, and connect. He’s honest, grounded, and values emotional depth just as much as fun and adventure.

Their first meeting unfolded with humor, honesty, and unexpected depth. They traded stories about growing up in New York and Michigan, their careers, and what brought them to matchmaking. Cliff was especially struck by Cristina’s compassion, intelligence, and radiant smile. He described her as “vibrant and joyful,” with a presence that lit up the room.

Conversation flowed easily—touching on music, food, exercise, and books. Cristina’s love of travel and connection mirrored Cliff’s own passions. They even discovered they both play pickleball… at the same local spot. Talk about a small world.

What stood out most was how naturally they talked about meaningful things—family, loss, growth, and hope for the future. Cliff shared the loss of his wife with openness and grace; Cristina spoke honestly about her own life journey. It didn’t feel too heavy or forced—just two people with kind hearts, meeting each other where they were.

They laughed, listened, and lingered over stories, completely losing track of time. For both, it was clear that The Matchmaking Company had led them to something very special. This was a connection built on honesty, warmth, and full of possibility.
