Singapore's government is piloting a government dating platform called FirstDate, which is limited to unmarried public officers aged 21 to 35. According to GovTech, the platform will not match public officers with colleagues from the same agency. The platform, which originated from a hackathon, uses questionnaire responses and the Gale-Shapley Stable Marriage algorithm to provide matches.
Only a participant's match can view their profile, and contact details are only shared if both parties agree to connect. The pilot is currently limited to the defined age range to test the service with a more focused group of users. The decision on whether to launch or expand FirstDate beyond the pilot stage has not been made yet.
