Private matchmaking, made in Texas
Everything’s bigger in Texas. Especially the standards.
Personal introductions for Texas singles who are done swiping and ready for the real thing.
Why Lone Star Match
Not a national franchise with a Texas landing page.
Texas-born
Most matchmakers here serve Texas from somewhere else. We are built for this state, its cities and the people proud to call it home.
Personally vetted
Every person you meet, we have met first. No bots, no ghosts, no wasted Friday nights.
Online and in person
We run your dating apps for you and introduce you face to face. The best of both, handled by one team.

The territory
One state. Every city.
From the Metroplex to the Gulf Coast, the Hill Country to West Texas, we match singles across the whole state. We meet you in person, wherever in Texas you call home.
