You Want to Find Love, Just Like Everyone Else

But it's especially hard when you have an intellectual or developmental disability.

  • Dating apps can be unsafe, and online dating is hard.
  • It's difficult to know how and where to meet people to date.
  • When you meet someone you'd like to date, asking them out can feel scary.

The Benefits of a Matchmaking Service

No scary apps or online dating

We personally meet with everyone and their parent or caregiver so we guarantee your match is a real person, and they are who they say they are.

You choose who you want to meet

We email your matches to your designated caregiver, but ultimately it's your (and your caregiver's) decision who you choose to meet.

Caregivers are involved every step of the way

Designed to keep you safe, your parent or caregiver walks alongside you throughout the entire process.

"When our daughter joined Find Love Safely, we were hoping that it would help expand her social connections. What we have experienced is that she has been given a real-life platform to practice conversation skills, social norms, and communication reciprocity. It has managed to achieve in a few short months what she has been working on for years in speech therapy, all the while, having loads of fun and meeting new and interesting people. Thank you Find Love Safely!"

How It Works

  • Step 1: Fill Out the Intake Form

    Fill out the Intake Form. You can find the form on your city's page under the "Locations" tab at the top. IMPORTANT: Members must be 18 or older and have the full support of their parent or caregiver.

  • Step 2: Complete the Agreement

    Both the caregiver and prospective member will receive an email asking them to fill out the IDD Matchmaking Services Agreement. Please read the Agreement in advance by clicking on "Service Agreement" in the footer of the website.

  • Step 3: Schedule Virtual Call

    After the Service Agreement has been signed and paid, caregivers receive an email to schedule a virtual call with the prospective Find Love Safely member, their designated support person, and that location's Find Love Safely matchmaker. After this call, the prospective member is now an official Find Love Safely member!!

  • Step 4: Receive Matches!

    When we find someone who might be a good match for the member, we will email both caregivers to let them know we've found a match, and they take it from there!
