Back in 2000, four friends got together after college and formed The Artful Matchmaker. The original plan was to have a stand alone gay and lesbian dating service. After additional thoughts on the project, they decided to create a website which offered the gay and lesbian web consumer a variety of choices for bringing happiness to their social life. They hope you enjoy their website and visit often for updates. From Jim, Stan, Trish, and Beverly... good luck in your search for love.
