Finding happiness through HEDER, even after a winding road.

A Winding Road — But Still Found Happiness Through HEDER

Although I continued to meet new people along the way, my naturally reserved personality and difficulty reading social cues made finding someone for a stable relationship even harder. I even encountered someone who was keeping their options open at my expense, which left me needing some time to heal.

After entering the workforce, free time became even scarcer, making it almost impossible to meet new people — let alone someone I truly liked. Fortunately, I came across HEDER through a chance encounter. Thanks to HEDER's help, they found me someone with a 'similar lifestyle' and 'compatible values' — and most importantly, someone who also wanted a stable, committed relationship.

HEDER specializes in gay male matchmaking with a paid membership model. I think everyone here is genuinely looking for a partner — otherwise it'd be a real waste of money (laughs). For busy professionals, I think it's a great option.

In my very first match at HEDER, I met my wonderful current boyfriend, a doctor. We are very happy together, and I truly believe joining HEDER was worth every bit.

We Met Through HEDER — and Were Drawn Together by Music

Since entering the workforce, I had always been consumed by work and never actively looked for a partner. Although I met a few people through dating apps, we never worked out due to incompatible schedules, values, and other reasons.

When I had achieved some career success, I realized my social circle had become fixed and there was no one to share life with. On a friend's recommendation, I chose HEDER — a real-world gay male dating service — hoping to find a truly compatible other half.

I've been deeply interested in literature, Western art, and classical music since childhood, so when I was setting my ideal partner criteria with my relationship consultant, that became the top priority.

After a few rounds of matching, I was successfully matched with a music teacher named Mr. Yao. Our first meeting was a fantastic conversation that left both of us wanting more — but since we both had work the next day, we arranged another date.

Even a Closeted Gay Man Can Find His Own Love

I'm naturally introverted and quiet, and my profession and being deeply closeted made it very hard to meet new people. I wanted to take a step forward but didn't know where to begin, and for a while felt quite anxious.

One day while scrolling through Instagram ads, I came across HEDER's ad. One-on-one in-person dating appealed to me — someone who wanted a real, serious relationship. I signed up with a 'let's try it' attitude.

Since I had no dating experience and wasn't great with words, the first date's atmosphere was a bit tense. But with my relationship consultant's guidance, I gained a clearer understanding of what I wanted and became much more confident.

Later, I met Mr. Zhuang — someone who loves travel just like me. We both enjoy backpacking and independent travel, have plans and goals for the future, and both want a stable committed relationship as our ultimate goal. After several dates, we successfully got together.

I Don't Have Much Time to Waste — So I Chose HEDER

Because of my age and working in the public sector, I found it difficult to meet new people. Although I worked hard to expand my social circle, everything seemed futile, and nobody matched the qualities I was looking for.

I tried dating apps, but because my age isn't in the mainstream demographic, people would often disappear or unmatch after just a few messages, which felt like a real waste of time. One day on Facebook, I came across HEDER's ad — and the ability to directly list the qualities I wanted was very appealing.

During my interview with the relationship consultant, I mentioned that I love outdoor activities. So in one of my matches, I was paired with a Mr. Chen of similar age. We were extremely compatible in both interests and personality. On our first date, we went cycling together to Kenting. After a few more meet-ups, we started a committed relationship.

We now live a very fulfilling life and get together to exercise whenever we can. I'm so glad I joined HEDER — now I get to live such a sweet life. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to find love efficiently and seriously.
