Neurodivergent and disability‑affirming connections.

Most matchmakers stop at the introduction.

We offer personalized coaching throughout. Before each date, we help you prepare. Afterward, we talk through how it went and decide on next steps together. Everything moves at your pace.

Couples who met through us

Jessica & Andalib

Maryland

Andalib was finished with dating apps. He wanted to meet someone in person, so he came to a singles gathering in Bethesda, Maryland. That’s where he met Jessica. They each wrote down the other’s name and hoped they would be matched. They were. They’re now making plans to move in together.

“We just sort of flowed and connected. I just wanted to spend more time with her.”

Ralph & Sara

Virginia

Ralph was tired of dating apps. He joined one of our “Ask Kate” sessions on Zoom just as Sara asked about dating again in a new city. He wrote to her in the chat. She was moving to the same part of Virginia where his mom lives. Ralph and Sara set up a first date and, with coaching support, entered into a loving relationship.

“After he drove back to D.C., I drafted this super long text that was a little embarrassing.”

Sara

“Perfect text. No notes.”

Upcoming event

Slightly Awkward Singles

Wednesday, December 2 · 6:00–7:45 p.m. ET · Bethesda, MD · Ages 25–45

For the nerdy, the quirky and the slightly socially awkward. This isn’t your average singles event: you’ll arrive to a personalized match sheet with curated dating and friendship picks wherever we see compatibility with other attendees.

Is this the right fit for you?

This event isn’t ideal for adults who may benefit from more structure or a support person to accompany them. If you’re not sure it’s for you, contact us at member@harringtonmatchmaking.com to discuss. We want it to be the right fit for you. We’ll be hosting an IDD-friendly version soon.

Meet the founder

“In my experience, the matchmaking industry has been reluctant to take on adults who are already underserved by traditional dating environments and struggling to find their footing, especially neurodivergent and disabled adults. Harrington Matchmaking was created to address this gap and provide more supportive, affirming pathways to the relationships they want. No two clients are the same, so no two packages are either.”
