Nigella and Jamie: A Match Made in SciMatch
Jamie, an investment analyst from New York, had nearly given up on dating apps, finding them
ineffective and impersonal. However, when he stumbled upon SciMatch, known for its
innovative face scan technology that promised to match based on personality compatibility, his curiosity was piqued. “The idea that a face scan could reveal compatible personalities sounded absurd enough to try out of sheer curiosity,” Jamie admits.
Nigella, an ambitious freelance writer, was focused on building her career but couldn’t shake off the hope of falling in love. The innovative approach of SciMatch, which used AI to match users based on personality types, sparked her interest. “The idea of connecting with someone who could genuinely understand and complement my nature was compelling,” Nigella shares.
Upon registering, Nigella and Jamie were immediately drawn to each other’s profiles, each
appearing first in the other’s feed with an impressive compatibility score of 96%. “Seeing such a high compatibility score right off the bat made me really curious about Jamie,” Nigella says. Jamie, too, was surprised by how quickly Nigella reached out, a refreshing change from the slow pace of other dating apps.
First Impressions and a Museum Date
Their initial conversation online was full of depth, discussing everything from favorite authors to personal aspirations. Jamie was particularly struck by Nigella’s insight during their chats. “Her perspective on things, the way she thought about the world—it was all incredibly attractive to me,” he notes.
After a series of engaging video calls, Nigella and Jamie felt compelled by their deep online
connection to meet in person. They chose the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown, New York,
for their first face-to-face encounter. The museum’s vibrant Friday night atmosphere was the
perfect setting, enhancing the electric connection they felt with each other and making for an unforgettable evening. “Conversing with Nigella was incredibly natural,” Jamie recalls. “We delved into personal stories, exchanged spontaneous ideas, and discussed a wide array of topics with complete openness. Despite typically being an introvert, I found myself remarkably connected and open.” They were so absorbed in their conversation that they barely noticed the museum closing around them. “We were almost the last to leave; I think a staff member even had to gently remind us that it was time to go,” Nigella remembers.
Deepening Bonds and Moving In
Their relationship blossomed quickly, with friends and family noting their strong connection.
“Friends started saying we looked like we could be siblings, and everyone was just so intrigued by our bond and how we met through SciMatch. I hardly have to recommend the app; people want to sign up just seeing us together,” Nigella laughs.
When Nigella’s apartment lease was up six months later, moving in with Jamie felt like the most natural next step. “It wasn’t even a question; it just felt right. We’ve never been people to rush things, but verything with us just feels so natural,” Jamie explains about their decision to live together.
Reflections on a Match Made by SciMatch
A little over a year from when they met, Nigella and Jamie celebrated their union in a simple yet elegant wedding attended by close friends and family. The ceremony, much like their relationship, was a genuine reflection of their personalities.
Today, Nigella and Jamie not only cherish their life together but also look forward to what the
future holds. Their journey from a curiosity-driven trial of a unique dating app to a deep, meaningful partnership is a testament to the unexpected paths love can take. Through SciMatch, they found not just each other but also a shared future built on understanding, respect, and mutual passion.
