A FRESH START

A new NZ dating community for what comes next

For more than two decades, FindSomeone has been a familiar name in New Zealand online dating. Its closure leaves many Kiwis looking for somewhere new to meet people locally.

FindMyPerson is being built around a simple idea: give New Zealand singles enough useful information to make better introductions, without turning dating into an endless stream of superficial swipes.

You'll be able to tell us what you enjoy doing, what your ideal weekend looks like, the kind of relationship you want, aspects of your personality and relationship style, and what matters to you in a partner.

Important: FindMyPerson is not FindSomeone. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or connected with FindSomeone or Trade Me.
