From renowned, fourth-generation matchmaker, Maria Avgitidis, comes a fresh, modern dating book that meets anyone navigating the world of dating and relationships where they're at, helping them to attract and grow the partnership of their dreams.
In today’s world, dating can feel like a never-ending cycle of swipes and small talk, where real connections are hard to come by. But the dream of meeting “The One” isn’t out of reach. Maria Avgitidis, or Matchmaker Maria, is a fourth-generation, award-winning matchmaker, here to help.
Blending personal stories and professional insights, Maria offers the kind of straight-talking, no-nonsense advice that only a true friend can give, guiding you to understand your dating options in a whole new way. By covering everything from personality typing systems to compatibility to Maria’s own developed rules and theories, Ask a Matchmaker equips you to diagnose your own relationship dilemmas and address them accordingly.
Whether you’re single and floundering in a sea of dating apps or in a relationship and want to keep the spark alive, Maria is the voice of reason you’re seeking and this book is the guide you need.

"Maria is the sane and loving but realistic friend or auntie that you want at your side as you sort out the practical landscape of dating. Her book forces readers to reckon with their fantasies about love and relationships and provides the practical and realistic guidance we need to make decisions about relationships that are about growth, companionship, collaboration, respect, and yes–fun. If you follow her well-honed guidance from years in the matchmaking trenches, you can steer clear of some of the toxic potholes on the road to a healthy committed relationship."—Ramani Durvasula, Ph.D., Psychologist and New York Times Bestselling Author of It’s Not You: Understanding and Healing from Narcissistic Relationships
"Ask a Matchmaker is one of my favorite books to hit the market in years. This book combines science and academia with insights only a fourth generation matchmaker would have. The result is a book that makes you laugh, makes you feel empowered, and inspires you to find love."—Melissa Hobley, CMO of Tinder
"Matchmaker Maria gets it. And it’s all about a perspective that self proclaimed dating experts don’t have. What most people don’t know is that a matchmaker gets reports back after every date from all of their matches that work and don’t work. Maria has a knowledge of what actually matters to people in dating and she’s the best at communicating that to her following. You’re going to love this book!"—Jared Freid, comedian
