A more personal way to meet
Start with who someone is.
A thoughtful first hello
Once approved, you can introduce yourself when essential preferences are compatible, without waiting for a mutual swipe. Contact limits and membership terms apply.
The choice stays yours
Choose whether to accept an introduction. Blocking and reporting tools are available if an interaction feels wrong.
Your life. Your part of Christchurch.
Start with the part of Christchurch you call home.
Our Christchurch City directory includes suburbs such as Addington, Cashmere and Bishopdale, as well as places further out such as Akaroa. It covers more than the central city, so check each other’s locality rather than assuming you live close together.
If your home is in Selwyn or Waimakariri, use the separate district links below. Keeping your own location accurate helps a conversation start with a realistic idea of where you are both based.
Talk about whether a short weekday coffee or a longer weekend catch-up would work best. A convenient public place and a plan you both feel comfortable with are a good starting point. Directory coverage does not imply member availability.

Create your free profile
Tell us about yourself, your interests and what you are looking for. Choose your actual suburb or locality during setup.
Verify your email and complete your profile
Once your completed profile is ready for review and your email is verified, you can browse privately while awaiting approval.
Get approved, then say hello
Your profile needs approval before you can contact anyone. Send a personal introduction; the recipient decides whether to accept and begin a conversation.
Email verification and profile review are not identity checks or a guarantee about another person. Take your time getting to know someone.
Before you join
A few things you might be wondering.
Is Matchfinder free in Christchurch?
Yes. Full membership is free during launch, with no credit card required. Approved members can send introductions within the contact limits, and continue conversations when an introduction is accepted. Launch access will not automatically turn into a paid subscription.
Can people see my profile on this public page?
No member profiles or photos are shown on this landing page. Member browsing is inside Matchfinder and requires an account, email verification and a completed profile that meets the browsing requirements.
Do I need a photo to join?
A photo is optional. A clear, recent photo can help someone get a better sense of you, but you can complete your profile and be considered for approval without one. Photos you add are reviewed separately.
Can I look beyond my own suburb?
Yes. Your location is a starting point, not a requirement to meet someone from the same suburb. Consider the distance you would realistically travel and discuss it together. Local member availability will vary.
Is this suitable if I am returning to dating?
Matchfinder is designed for relationship-minded people aged 35 and over. You can take time to describe what matters to you, read profiles and decide which introductions to accept. There is no need to rush into a meeting.
