Global Love Report – August 21st, 2024
English summary by Margaret Wuwur
Finding a life partner in today’s fast-paced world is not an easy task. Social circles shrink, and busy work schedules make it harder to meet potential partners. This is where innovative matchmaking services like Blind Date Indonesia come into play.
Despite being less than a year old, Blind Date Indonesia has quickly become a popular organizer that arranges blind date events across various Indonesian cities, including Solo, Jakarta, and most recently, Malang.
Mahathir Al Afghani Al, the founder of Blind Date Indonesia, shared some impressive statistics about their services. Their most popular event in Jakarta attracted a staggering 4,000 registrants, highlighting the demand for such services. To incentivize successful matches, the organizer even offers financial assistance for wedding ceremonies to couples who find their partners through their events.
Recently, the organizer’s sixth event, held at Chatten Cafe in Batu City, Malang, showcased their growing popularity. Within just two weeks of opening registrations, over 200 applicants from the Greater Malang area and surrounding regions submitted their forms. From this applicant pool, 10 people were carefully selected to participate in the live blind date event.
The organizers matched participants according to their respective criteria. The event begins with blindfolded conversations, allowing participants to establish a connection without considering physical appearance. This approach emphasizes personality and compatibility over superficial factors.
Following the initial blindfolded interaction, participants remove their blindfolds and continue their conversations face-to-face. The event then progresses to a dinner session and various group activities, providing multiple opportunities for participants to interact and potentially form meaningful connections.
The organizer caters to a specific demographic, typically attracting participants between 25 and 46 years old. Al noted, “Our participants usually have stable financial and mental readiness. Most are working professionals who can afford the fee to participate in the live blind date event after being selected.” This focus on mature, established individuals increases the likelihood of successful, long-term matches.
