Success Story: Love in the U.S.

David, 48, New York & Lily, 42, San Francisco

David:
“When I joined WUMA, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. As an architect in New York, my schedule was always packed with projects and deadlines, leaving me very little time to meet the right person. I had tried dating apps, but they all felt too casual conversations would fade, and I never felt anyone was truly serious. At 48, I was ready for something real.

That’s when my matchmaker introduced me to Lily, a university professor originally from China who had been living in the U.S. for several years. From our very first video call, I felt something different. She was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely curious about my life. It wasn’t small talk she really wanted to get to know me.”


Lily:

“I had been living in San Francisco for a long time, and although I loved my career, I hadn’t found the right partner. When I met David through WUMA, what stood out immediately was his sincerity. He didn’t try to impress me with his career or achievements. Instead, he listened, shared openly, and made me feel comfortable. I could tell he was serious about building something meaningful.”


David:

“As our conversations continued, we discovered so many things in common our love for travel, our passion for jazz music, and a desire to build a future rooted in family and stability. Of course, there were cultural differences, but WUMA helped me understand them. My matchmaker guided me on how to approach certain traditions with respect, which gave me confidence and showed Lily that I truly valued her background.”


Lily:

“What impressed me most was David’s willingness to learn about my heritage while also appreciating who I am as a woman living in the U.S. His openness and respect made me feel secure about our relationship. I knew he wasn’t just looking for companionship he wanted a real partnership.”


Together:
“Today, we are planning our wedding. We’ll celebrate with our families and close friends here in the U.S., blending our cultures in a way that feels true to both of us. Looking back, what we value most about WUMA is how it took away the guesswork of modern dating and connected us with someone who truly matched our values and goals.

We are deeply thankful to our WUMA matchmaker, whose care, patience, and guidance made this journey possible. Thanks to WUMA, we didn’t just meet we found the love of our lives.”
