MASHABLE – Singapore’s government has launched FirstDate, a pilot dating service for public-sector employees aged 21 to 35. Users answer questions about their values, habits, and preferences, then receive one suggested match at a time. The service uses the Gale-Shapley algorithm, which compares each person’s ranked preferences to identify pairings that are mutually suitable. Both people have 72 hours to accept before their contact details are shared. Accounts are verified through Singapore’s national digital ID system.
