Im only in the general dating pool. Something does not feel right. I was told I was a potential for two specific "vip" men over a year and a half, but then nothing. No set up to one person. I was even told we have so many great people in our database, so don't worry if you don't match as a free member. But in 1.5 years not one intro and no follow up after supposedly introducing me privately (through my profile) to 2 men that I was supposedly a fit for? I've never been invited to a mixer or anything like that. I'm not exactly a loser, so it's just not making sense. Total waste of time, and if what some of these reviewers are saying is accurate, makes sense. Very unprofessional and seems to be about image and fluff. Some prompt emails and excitement, only then to assume the guy didn't like my profile, and no follow up. I'm starting to think it's all a sham. read more

Amy is an amazing and thoughtful human and well connected match maker. I met Amy years ago and even though I am not on the west coast where I could use her, she still helped navigated the waters of match making for me and found an excellent match maker in my region. I whole heartedly recommend Amy and Linx. Her true desire to find the perfect match and love for those seeking it shines through in her work. read more

TL;DR: the Link & Drink networking mixer that I attended earlier this month greatly exceeded my expectations my expectations and introduced me to great people whom I never would have met otherwise. Another matchmaker put me in touch with Amy when she found out I live in the Bay Area. I didn't know what to expect when I was invited to Amy's Link & Drink event at the Rosewood Hotel--I've never been to a networking mixer like this one, let alone one to celebrate twenty years of matchmaking success. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and show up by myself. I'm glad that I took a chance because I had an absolute blast at the event. I was immediately greeted by someone on Amy's team, and within minutes was wrapped in multiple conversations with new connections. Everyone was dressed to the nines and there appeared to be an even ratio of men to women and seasons to less-seasoned daters. What I enjoyed most about the party was how natural it all fault; instead of being paired with potential matches or having to do perfunctorily go through ice breakers, people were allowed to make connections naturally. Overall, I'm so happy I attended Amy's event and had a great time meeting new people. And this was absolutely free, which was a shocker! I'll definitely be looking forward to the next event that Amy hosts. read more

I recently attended a Linx Mix & Mingle event. This event was thoughtfully planned, provided excellent food and drinks and included many upscale and interesting people to meet. Amy (the owner) promptly welcomed me and followed up with an introduction to one of the guests. With all the clients she works with, I was very surprised she knew who I was as we have never met in person. The time Amy takes to genuinely connect with her guests is impressive. I have been in contact with Amy over the past few months as I am in her database. Amy has made herself available via email and text and her responses are always prompt and gracious. I enjoyed meeting new people and look forward to attending future events. Thank you Amy! read more

Amy is the most thoughtful, substantial, and effective matchmaker and networker in Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, California... and probably the entire country. Her network ranges from literal princes and tech titans to artists and restaurateurs. The thing they all have in common is character and interest in real connection. What I appreciate about her approach most: she spends the time to get to know people and vet them so when she introduces someone, it's not just based on superficial metrics like age or life stage, it's based on a deep understanding of the full person. She has introduced my friends to several genuinely quality men and women, and has created multiple marriage matches for friends in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and even 80s. In an area where everyone is often overworked and hidden behind laptops, I appreciate her so much because she's developed a culture of fun, warmth, and genuine community. I also love how her Linx events are not just about socializing anymore-they're about impact. She's become a "cupid for a cause," gathering together Silicon Valley's most thoughtful people to connect and to give back... I'm drawn to her events because it's truly where the heart meets impact. I think that she frankly deserves a medal from our district supervisors for quite literally building the social scene in the Valley. read more

Adding an update to my past review - Linx Dating has relaunched their "Mix and Mingle" events in the peninsula, and I was fortunate enough to attend the latest gathering for a fun evening filled with drinks and dinner. The atmosphere was vibrant, with a fantastic blend of interesting and sophisticated individuals. I'm really grateful to have been invited; I had the chance to connect with several intriguing matches that I wouldn't have met otherwise. A big thank you to Amy for curating these wonderful events that attract highly educated and like-minded people. It's refreshing to engage in meaningful conversations and foster connections in such a welcoming environment. I'm already looking forward to the next event! read more

I commend Amy Anderson, founder of lLnx and prime matchmaker, for her extraordinary customer service. When I was exploring the possibility of working together, she devoted substantial time to answering all my questions and in a thoughtful, deeply personal way, where I felt important and was never rushed. She seemed genuinely to care about what I wanted and what would be best for me. For reasons of fit, it did not work out that we should work together, but then, even though I was not going to be a customer, she spent time looking for a matchmaker she thought would be a better fit. I thought it exceptional that as busy as she is, she took this extra time. It shows her dedication to what she is doing, finding romance for people, even if she will not personally benefit. Bravo and thank you! read more

It was an absolute pleasure meeting with AMY ANDERSON recently at her MIX & MINGLE EVENT, SILICON VALLEY. She is kind, friendly and very welcoming!! Had a really good time at her MIXER, which was fun and well-organized. Enjoyed some great conversations at the LINX DATING MIX & MINGLE EVENT !! Definitely recommend Linx Dating ! Yasmin A. read more

Amy nails the art and science of matchmaking and she is one of the best in the business. Her company, Linx, has a robust network of quality individuals--each one of my matches was intelligent, successful, and commitment-minded. I am time and time again impressed by Amy's intuition, her responsiveness to inquiries big and small, and her refreshingly honest advice about dating do's and don'ts. She is a savvy businesswoman who carries herself with grace, so I can't help but admire her for the network and reputation she has built over the last 20 years. read more

Amy is absolutely incredible. You can really tell she is pouring her heart and soul into what she does; this feels like her life's work rather than just a business. It was particularly apparent with the giddy sense of curiosity she seemed to feel right before I went on my first date with the wonderful gentleman she matched me with. I could just tell her excitement and that she knew this would be good and that she couldn't wait to see the outcome. I felt that she was so invested in us. She supported me all the way through, helping me with advice on what to wear when I asked and calming me down when he didn't text right away (lol) - all in just such a friendly genuine way that more than anything gave me so much confidence and made me believe more in myself. What perhaps impressed me the most with Amy is her unbelievable sense of intuition. I had been in her data base for a few months when her team reached out letting me know they had a potential match for me. Her wonderful chief of staff Dani and later Amy herself spoke through the match and highlighted things about him that they felt were a great fit for me. I was really taken aback - the entire time I was like, how do you know this about me! Amy would then point to the tiniest things I wrote in my profile and say things like, "see because you said X, I figured Y was the case". She is so absolutely brilliant in her understanding of humanity. The match she set up was without question one of the best first dates of my life. The chemistry was there and instant and I can't wait to go out with the guy again! I am in awe of who Amy is and what she has built. Having met her and experienced what she did for me, I'm not surprised in the slightest that she's matched the who's who in the tech industry and beyond, and that they call her Silicon Valley's Cupid. Anyone who is busy and frustrated with today's dating landscape ... you'd be amiss not to give Amy a shot. She's made dating fun again. Thank you Amy :) read more

I spoke with Amy Andersen at Linx . She called me and we chatted for about 20 minutes. Where she explained their database and geography. She was very friendly and offered references for firms that would be better suited for my requirements. She re-directed me, guided me, and matched me to a firm that I am hope works for me. It was nice to see such personalized service- and from the CEO no less! read more

I've had the pleasure of meeting Amy on several occasions. She is a kind, genuine, intelligent, and caring person. Her 20th Anniversary event at the Rosewood was impeccable. Such attention to detail and so beautifully done. The people who attended were top notch and fun to interact with. I'm looking forward to her next events. Her team is small but mighty and very professional. Definitely a well-run company with strong leadership!! read more

I attended the Linx Dating (Menlo Park) 20 year anniversary two weeks ago at the Rosewood Sandhill Hotel. It was a great event where I met great people. Amy is wonderful -- very professional, warm, and sincere. She truly cares about her clients, and it shows how many people support and care about her and Linx Dating. Looking forward to more! read more

Amy is awesome! She was very helpful and truly generous with her time. There really isn't a reason to look any farther than Linx.

There are so many matchmakers out there. I know as many of them to reach out to me and want me to be part of their network, etc. The pitch is generally the same, the execution is the same, etc, etc. Some of these services work in volume (think Tawkify) and others are truly bespoke. Most are really there to sell a dream to people as priority one and deliver results as priority two. Amy is different. Amy has a large barrier to work with her (which is a good thing). This barrier is a very exhaustive questioner, an in-person interview, continued follow-up on status, and taking the entire process seriously. This weeks out the lurkers and the individuals that do not take the service seriously. It also weeds out those who don't know what they're looking for. While the terms of my agreement with Amy are confidential, I will tell you that Amy is worth every penny you invest in her services. She combines one of the most extensive networks of anyone I know, the uncanny ability to find the right match, and a sincere dedication to the art and science of top-level matchmaking. She is a master businesswoman and knows how to break down barriers to truly find the needles in a haystack. She doesn't expect her clients to settle to match what she can find, she excels to find partners that match the expectations of her clients...and her clients are of the pickiest, most discerning, and high profile of the bunch. She just delivers. Other matchmakers, in my experience, don't match the punctual follow-up and service that Amy provides. While she works with many, she has made me, one of her clients, feel as though I am top priority. I am able to communicate by text, phone, or email. All of these are fine by Amy. In summary, if you want the best, don't waste your time with others, go to Amy. I am writing this because I truly think she is of the few out there that goes above and beyond to be a true "cupid" and she succeeds because of the aformentioned. read more

I reached out to Amy after reading a posting that sparked my interest. Although the guy was not available, Amy asked me to share what I was looking for in a match so I could be a part of her network of singles. I liked the objective approach of Amy's intake process -- it made me really think about what I am looking for in a match and how someone else could actually use those criteria. Amy kept me abreast of another match she was just getting to know, sending me a weekly update on his status. I was surprised and delighted by Amy's attentiveness and communicative approach. Throughout my interactions with Amy, I felt a warmth, candidness, and sincerity that put me at ease and energized me. While I haven't gone on a date yet, I feel confident that anyone who Amy sets me up with will be aligned with my criteria and possibly a fantastic match. I highly recommend working with Amy! read more

Amy is so lovely! I live in another city and she went out of her way to connect me with other top notch consultants there. I highly recommend her! read more

For a person generally recognized as the Silicon Valley matchmaker, Amy's approach is decidedly traditional. At first glance, you might wonder if this difference is what enables Amy to succeed where online dating and other matchmaking services have failed. After working with Amy, though, it becomes apparent that her approach is a natural outcome of what truly makes her great--her drive to invest time and energy in each and every client she takes on. Amy's intelligence and creativity allow her to translate this passion into tangible results regardless of what an individual client's needs may be. My only regret in working with Amy is that I didn't start sooner! I note that most of the negative comments refer either to a) internet dating alternatives or b) Amy's perceived prioritization of higher-fee clients. All I can say is this: Amy would be the first to tell you that her service is best used as a supplement to rather than a replacement for online dating; and if you're shocked that a service provider spends more time on clients that pay more, you might have a different understanding of business than I do. read more

Amy is great. Terrific listener with superb insights. Good at offering advice and knowing when just a little constructive coaching can make a big difference. She carefully selects folks for you to meet and they are uniformly impressive (even if not always a romantic match). You will not have the situation we have all had with apps when you know in mere moments of meeting someone that the meeting is a waste of time. Not with Amy.... each intro leads to time well spent chatting with somebody polished and interesting. Clearly this is not a volume based business for Amy. She is hands on and there appears to be no delegation... not even an admin to field routine emails. But she is still responsive. She takes her time and thinks things through personally. Amy is the total opposite of apps and the endless waste of time they represent. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. read more

I was contacted by Linx as a potential match for one of their VIP clients. The process happened pretty quickly and I got to meet one of their American VIP male clients who was on business in Sydney. It was a fairy tale. We had dinners together, took walks, and spent many days together. Although it didn't work out in the end, I am grateful for such a unique opportunity to have met someone like him. I hope to be matched to more clients who are open to an Australian girl in the future! read more

Although my lasting match was ultimately made outside of Linx, I credit Amy and Michael for the relationship I've been in for 7 years. Insight into what I wanted in a partner and relationship permanently shifted as a result of our initial conversations. While I thought I was paying a bargain fee of $200 to enter a matching database and connect with well-suited men, it was the invaluable time basking in Amy and Michael's expertise, intense curiosity about what I wanted, and their kind and frank insights that made that initial fee the bargain of a lifetime. read more

I had never worked with a matchmaker before. And never thought I would. When my friend referred me, I didn't take it very seriously. I also work 60+ hours plus side projects so I thought I have no time to deal with this. Little did I know there's this special person called Amy (and her assistant Talia) who are a joy to work with. Amy is incredibly thoughtful, detail-oriented and cares about each client as if s/he is one of her friends. Her and Talia are very professional yet super friendly and down to earth. We talked about every little detail but also joked about things which kept things comfortable. One suggestion I had for is to streamline all the data entry on her website so the paperwork is a littler easier. But frankly her delightful and thoughtful approach more than makes up for it. I would recommend Amy's services in a heart beat! read more

I have known Amy Andersen, the founder for Linx, for over twenty years. As a psychologist and a dating coach, I have sent many single clients to Linx when they want to meet "the one,", but don't want the stress, time requirement, and lack of vetting from dating apps and random encounters. I have attended several Linx events and have witnessed the high caliber of Linx clientele. My clients who have worked with Amy appreciate her integrity, matchmaking instincts, and access to wonderful introductions. Linx is a great matchmaking service! read more

Amy Andersen, founder of the Bay Area's premiere bespoke matchmaking venture Linx, is a true treasure in this potentially exploitative field. Her reputation is sterling, her intuition is spot-on, her network is extensive, and her success rate is unparalleled. Do your research and you will likely come to the same conclusion as I did: Linx is the go-to company for discreet high-end matchmaking services in Northern California. Before I had the pleasure of meeting Amy IRL, I had several months of correspondence with her. From our very first exchange, Amy was incredibly warm, authentic and genuinely passionate about her desire to help people meet the love of their lives. Even after nearly 2 decades in this ultra-competitive business (longevity is extremely rare in this particular niche), she continues to have an incredible level of enthusiasm for her work. I was scheduled to meet with Amy for 90 minutes but we were having such fun in her little "secret garden" that nearly three hours flew by before we parted ways!! As nervous as I was for this all-important, vis-à-vis first meeting, I ended up having a delightful afternoon drinking herbal tea, sharing stories/life dreams, and of course, being girlie girls, plenty of giggles! Read the other reviews and the common element you'll see is that EVERYONE ADORES AMY!!! She is fully present and engaged in learning as much as she can about her clients... necessary intake info so she knows exactly which spell to cast! I'm convinced successful matchmaking is equal parts intuition, attention to detail, and magic!! But beyond the personality, Amy is the very definition of a consummate professional: she is meticulous in her vetting process, highly organized and prepared for all events/interactions, responsive not only to her high-end clientele but to anyone who inquires about her services. Even individuals who are not a good fit for her model are treated with dignity and are often directed to other resources/services that are better aligned with their needs. I know this personally from friends who have reached out to her over the years. Amy understands her ultimate success is not strictly defined by the number of clients in her data base, but in being benevolent to all who seek her expertise. If you are reading this, most likely you are seeking a serious relationship. Remember the immortal words of David Viscott, "To love and to be loved is to feel the sun from both sides." If you are exhausted weeding through all of the dishonest posers online and are ready to invest in finding your life partner, Linx may very well be the service you need. You will at the very least become a fan of Amy Andersen, guaranteed. read more

I met a lovely guy through Linx by being in the database. Although not a long-term love interest, a very quality man. Amy spent considerable time on the phone answering questions and telling me about this client of hers to make sure I was comfortable. I loved the vetting involved. When I was looking to become a client, I reached out to Amy. Although it was pricier than what I could afford as a late 20's professional female, Amy helped me find two great firms to work with meeting my budget. I love how willing Amy is to help me! read more

This review is long overdue. I was searching for a personalized local matchmaker for a dear friend of mine. I found Linx and did an intro call with the founder Amy Andersen. She was wonderful, very personable, and made me feel comfortable from day one. I was very happy to introduce my single friend to Amy. Amy suggested meeting my friend for coffee a couple of times to ensure he was on board and making the right decision. Since he signed up, I can tell you he's had an excellent experience. While the first few introductions did not lead to "the one", he is now in a happy, committed relationship with a smart and kind, beautiful lady who is good to him. Importantly, they have a lot of fun together! The value add with Linx is that it provides a very personalized, professional approach for those who are either too private for dating apps and/or looking for someone spectacular. Linx cherry picks its member ensuring everyone is commitment-minded and serious about finding true, authentic love. It's great for busy executives/business owners who lead full lives and aren't inclined to swipe all day to find the right match. Although the service is not cheap, I am a believer that you get what you pay for. read more

Fabulous service! Even if not a fit for your goals and needs, this helped me find the appropriate firm and redirected me. Linx is what you want: no AI algorithms, just real people working objectively to make a real difference in your life. Thank you so very, very much, Amy!!! read more

I attended the "Linx Networking" event at the Rosewood Hotel & Spa and was not very impressed. The venue was great but traffic was snarled by Vice President Biden visiting that day and shutting down 280. When I got there Amy did not recognize my name or introduce me, I was shoved to the girl next to her and she asked my name on the list. When I did not give her a business card she asked for a donation for further events? Gee how do I know someone does not pocket the cash for gas money? Then there was the line for drinks with the staff stumbling over themselves trying to take orders and get cash for change. I had two guys cut in front of me without ever making eye contact. Not a very friendly crowd I thought they were a bunch of actors with no speaking parts. Amy, you need to have some kind of ice breaker or something to get the party started....sorry. read more

Let's all admit it, online dating is broken, at least if you're looking for love! The paradox of choice (swiping until your thumb gives out), ephemeral attention spans, and asynchronous communication have led to a disconnect between the need for companionship and the ability to find it. The solution? Linx Dating! Think of Amy as your great aunt who introduces you to people, except Amy is young and has a better understanding of what you may want. Of course, Linx has been featured in national and international media. This doesn't mean Amy is inaccessible. Quite the contrary. She's accessible, warm, thoughtful, and compassionate. Amy has a number of memberships and non-membership options for her exclusive matchmaking service. Nobody likes to admit they are single, but here I am, single. A friend recommended I reach out to Amy to have me in her database for eligible bachelors. Amy asked me thoughtful questions and vetted me. This is important with her clientele who are educated (either formally or informally), successful, and looking for a serious relationship. Don't expect a list of 50 people in the next day. Remember the jam study! (Briefly, people went to the grocery store and saw 30 different kinds of jam or 5 different kinds of jam. Guess who was more likely to buy jam and LIKE the jam they brought? The ones who saw only 5 kinds of jam!). I've been introduced to three of Amy's clients. While i haven't found the love of my life yet, I think I'm most likely to get there through the personalized and well thought out introductions by Linx Dating. read more

The Linx methodology and events put on by Amy and her incredible staff are so much more than anything you would normally think of when you hear "matchmaker". This is a company that cares about people and creating a genuine organic space for like-minded individuals to meet their soulmates. read more

I highly recommend Linx Dating and Amy Andersen! Amy is extremely professional, thoughtful, and attentive. I've been very impressed with her approach to matchmaking and only have good things to say. She truly cares about her clients and she really creates a positive dating experience. If you are looking for a matchmaker, you should definitely look into working with her. read more

I had no idea what to expect after I initially decided to meet Amy, mostly to make my mom happy, as I had been single for a while with few opportunities to meet people through work. She was kind, smart, and empathetic to the struggles I had experienced while dating. A week after we met, she introduced me to an amazing man with all the qualities I had asked for, and some I had never even thought to ask for. We are still together over a year later. Amy is a lovely person and has affected our lives profoundly. I regularly introduce her to loved ones who aren't having luck in love. I would endorse her highly to anyone who is tired of the online dating game. read more

Amy has been an absolute pleasure to work with! I am beyond impressed with how responsive, dedicated, personable, professional, and committed she is to connecting her clients to potential matches. It is evident how genuinely invested she is in delivering a superb service. She cares deeply and is clearly gifted at her niche role, and I am so grateful to have found her. Thank you, Amy, for introducing me to the highest quality and most wonderful man I could hope to meet! After wasting years on dating apps, I am so relieved and thrilled to have found Linx. Amy is a true gem! read more

I've never participated in a matchmaking service, so I had no idea what to expect when one of my friends referred me to Linx and Amy. An acceptably detailed questionnaire and an in person meeting later and Amy has become one of my favorite people! She's guided me through a few introductions so far and I am IMPRESSED! Her attention to detail is wonderful and her encouragement for me to be completely honest through this process has helped her to find these wonderful potential partners. I can't recommend her and Linx Dating more highly! read more

Amy is probably the best matchmaker in Silicon Valley and has had some great success, while she didn't match my wife and I, I was working with her and the dates that she sent me on were closer to the mark than most I did on my own and really helped me define what I wanted. Amy is very good at helping you set your expectations properly and to really figure out what you need to improve about yourself to attract the type of person you want. This is key because if you want the caliber of person you desire, you need to work on you first. Amy is very well connected in Silicon Valley and has a large pool of connections to make that introduction happen. I have sent several of my friends her way, and if you want that personal hands on approach, Amy is the type of person that will help you find the most important person in your life. read more

"Finding the love of your life can seem like an endless search, with ups and downs. The Linx process was professional, detailed, considerate, and very enjoyable. It was the third match that worked like a charm- where chemistry was firing in all directions. I ended up proposing in 2011 to my beautiful soul mate and we are so excited to get married in Fall of 2017! Amy even helped with my proposal planning making it seamless and thoughtful at Cavallo Point in Marin. We are so blessed to have been matched and wouldn't have ever met if it was not for this unique dating network. For anyone who wants to be introduced to quality, genuine men and women all of whom have been carefully vetted by Amy, this is an excellent alternative to online dating and dating apps!" read more

I found Amy through a magazine article and I was so relieved that I am not alone in being single, tired of online dating, flakes and serial daters. Having moved to LA nearly 5 years ago and still looking for a committed relationship, Amy is a breath of fresh air. I applied through her website, the process was easy yet suitably detailed. Amy had a single gentleman client living in LA who seems a good fit so she introduced us and we have talked on the phone and will be meeting next week. Watch this space! I want to say thank you to Amy, I had almost given up but she has given me the confidence to keep trying and is there, metaphorically holding my hand. read more

After a contract for two years, a 4-figure hefty fee,nothing but bad dates to : men I already knew, men who met none of my requirements, and men who called and never made dates, I am still single. As they say in law school "res ipsa loquitur" the thing speaks for itself. Avoid this one!!!! Amy who is the "president " of Linx emailed me and offered me money to remove this review. NO WAY . I am speaking the truth and cannot be bribed to say anything else. read more

Amy is dedicated, detail oriented, and approachable. She is a great listener which enables her to deeply get to know her clients. She takes customer service to the next level, making herself available to share tips and tricks to help guide her clients along their dating journey. Most importantly, I have been very satisfied with the men she has introduced me to. While I am still in search of the "the one," I have found Linx is a phenomenal alternative impersonal dating apps / online dating. I have tried other matchmakers and this one is the best in my opinion. We are all so lucky that Amy is sharing her gift of matchmaking with the world. read more

I've known Amy for many years, from the time when she had just gotten married and was starting her business. My friend actually worked for her, but I never used her services until recently. I had broken up with my ex and one of the VIPs she posted caught my eye. I emailed her and she immediately followed up to do an intake interview. She listened carefully to what I was looking for, and asked a lot of thoughtful questions that showed me she was really trying to understand who I was, not just what I was telling her I wanted. She searched through her database of clients and matched me with a lovely man within a couple days. He was exactly the kind of guy I was looking for - smart, accomplished, kind, and Christian (the hardest thing for me to find). While we ultimately didn't have good chemistry, I really appreciated the experience of connecting with a fantastic man right off the bat vs. the endless scrolling and searching online. In short, I think Amy is amazing at what she does - she listened and heard me even though I wasn't a paying client at the time, and she delivered. Thank you so much Amy for being one of the few matchmakers that actually does what is promised. (I'd like to add that while my profile has no other reviews, it's because I'm posting from a different Yelp account to keep my privacy intact. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to connect about my experience.) read more
