Testimonials

Very thoughtful approach to Malayalee Christian Dating. Appreciate all the effort being put into the event. Great Job!

FIM 3.0 attendee

You all did an amazing job! For someone like me, who was born and raised entirely in India, it's quite rare to get a chance to meet and talk with ladies in a setting like this(especially one that feels a bit like being a lone warrior on a battlefield surrounded by their families!) I felt completely comfortable with your arrangements. I even made a couple of new male friends and let go of a few old biases along the way. Overall, I'm genuinely happy and grateful for how the speed dating event turned out.

FIM 3.0 attendee

At first, I was extremely nervous with the idea of being part of a speed dating event. I normally would have never put myself out there like this, but since it was in Chicago, a place where I've been wanting to visit again, I decided to go ahead and apply. I didn't really go into the event with high hopes, but to my surprise, I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would! Everyone was extremely nice and open to getting to know each other. The Pods helped so much in easing my nerves by having a group of people I could hangout with throughout the event. I also loved being able to invite my friends to the afterparty! Overall, I would recommend this event to others! Even if you don't build romantic connections, just being around other Malayalee Christians was really fun!

FIM 3.0 attendee

I thought the event was planned really well. It was a great way to meet a ton of people in a short amount of time.

FIM 3.0 attendee

I was nervous but I'm glad I went because I made some great friends. The pods were a great idea. I do wish I had more time to talk to my speed dates so I could get to know them better. But overall, it was a great way to meet new people within our community.

FIM 3.0 attendee

I thought this event was better if you are 30 and above. But I did get to meet a lot of amazing people at this event.

FIM 3.0 attendee

So well done, exactly the kind of thing I needed.

FIM 3.0 attendee

I really enjoyed the event, first time I have ever done something like this. It gets you out of your comfort zone.

FIM 3.0 attendee

It was a great event. It's tough to get Malayalis together, so big applause to the team for setting up this event. This is one of the better dating events I have attended.

FIM 3.0 attendee

Made some good friends!

FIM 3.0 attendee

I was really impressed with how organized the event was. The App was also really well made and intuitive. I am really glad I went as this was a much better way to get to know people from across the country instead of dating apps. Very appreciative of all the hard work everyone put it to organizing this!

FIM 3.0 attendee

A unique experience targeted towards Christian Malayalee singles.

FIM 3.0 attendee

The event was well organized, and executed! Thank you for coordinating and offering this opportunity.

FIM 3.0 attendee

Overall, I think the event went really well! I was able to meet a lot of people and build on some friendships. The event location was nice and there were a lot of activities to do upstairs. I was really anxious going into the event and didn't know if I had what it took to participate in speed dating even if nothing comes out of this and I'm not able to find a partner. I'm really happy that I was able to gain that confidence, knowing that I have that capability in myself.

FIM 3.0 attendee

I've been to a speed dating event before that wasn't good so going into this one my expectations were pretty low. This event definitely exceeded my expectations. I got to meet and talk to a lot of people and make great connections. This experience gave me the confidence boost I needed going forward with forming new relationships in the future.

FIM 3.0 attendee

This event surpassed my expectations. Creating new friendships and extended my network and potential matches in the Malayalee community.

FIM 2.0 attendee

I was a bit anxious before the event started. But once the event happened, i was more relaxed. But it was still an intense process!! Kinda like i was at a job interview

FIM 2.0 attendee

I think it was amazing the amount of planning and attention to detail involved. I think there is tremendous value to attendees derived from the event and the passion and motivation of all the staff

FIM 2.0 attendee

I think the event was definitely a wonderful time to connect with other Malayalee Christians in today's dating scene. It was great to meet such wonderful people and have a fun time with the speed dates. Overall had a good time with the puppies and getting to meet Bobby from Indian Matchmaking! The music and food was also outstanding!

FIM 2.0 attendee

It's about damn time we had something like this! Super grateful to everyone who helped make this event happen. I have high hopes for future FIM events.

FIM 2.0 attendee

The whole event was so creatively thought out and well organized. I can't believe you guys aren't professionals who have been doing this for years, because the quality of the programming was top-notch. I feel lucky to have been able to attend FIM and meet so many others like me from our community, and look forward to building on the connections I made at the event!

FIM 2.0 attendee

I think y'all did a really great job having so many people come to an event of this size. I think it admirable that y'all took your time to even plan something like this. There should be events with people being able to meet and make connections. Connections are what develops friendships, networks, and romantic relationships as well. I had a fun time attending. And I want to thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to come up with an event that allows people to meet. Helping out the malayalee singles meet someone is really kind. :)

FIM 2.0 attendee

The event was well organized and so much fun. The ice breakers and entertainment were great especially the puppy station and having a Cupid at the event!

FIM 2.0 attendee

exceeded expectation, had a blast, met lots of great people

FIM 2.0 attendee

The event was way more fun than I expected it to be. I went in with no expectations, but with an assumption of how it might go, and it turned out better than I could have expected.

FIM 2.0 attendee

Wish I could've found a potential partner, but made some good friends! I really do hope you guys change up the location so everyone gets a chance

FIM 1.0 attendee

I met some wonderful people, just not anyone where a romantic pursuit made sense. I'm very happy to have participated!

FIM 1.0 attendee

It was a fun and very well organized event but did not form any friendships or relationships from it sadly. Wish I did!

FIM 1.0 attendee

Made some great friends near and far!

FIM 1.0 attendee

FIM intro'ed me to Malus in the Austin community, new close friends who share such similar mindsets, and a guy who I've connected with better than I ever imagined! Thank you for putting FIM together!

FIM 1.0 attendee

Overall, I really enjoyed helping plan and attending the 2023 event. I met new colleagues, made some professional connections and founds some new friends along the way. Despite having been on many dating apps, I ended up having more meaningful dates stemming from people I met from this event alone. It also reminded me that there are plenty of single malayalee christian men out there. After the inaugural event, numerous individuals have approached me asking about the event and interest in future events. I appreciate the initiative the founders have taken in this endeavor.

FIM 1.0 attendee

Even though I did not make any romantic relationships with anyone I met at FIM, I matched with a guy from Dil Mil who was at the event. We ended talking about the event on our first date and how we missed each other (but he saw me there) and now we have entered a romantic relationship. I have also made many friends at the event as well.

FIM 1.0 attendee

Been talking for a bit, but don't think we DTR yet. We are actually meeting up again this coming weekend and a topic of discussion for sure.

FIM 1.0 attendee

Have hung out with some of the girls I met at the event

FIM 1.0 attendee

I appreciated the opportunity to attend the event and put myself out there and practice talking to strangers. I think human connection these days is just hard to find! Regardless, glad I got to come to this and put self in an uncomfortable situation because I appreciate the growth.
