Can you find your partner on a stoop in Southie? The creator of Boston’s 'Stoop Dating' thinks so.

In Boston's South End, a unique approach to finding love has taken the city by storm - Stoop Dating. The brainchild of local social media matchmaker Julz Radley, this blind dating show has gained a massive following on both Instagram and TikTok, with over 30,000 followers and 40,000 followers respectively.

Radley, a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic, was tired of the impersonal nature of online dating. She wanted to bring people together face-to-face, fostering genuine connections that would lead to meaningful relationships. And so, Stoop Dating was born.

The show takes place on a South End porch, where Radley sits down with her latest matched couple and leads them through fun conversations designed to gauge their chemistry. The format is simple yet effective: 30 minutes of getting to know each other, followed by an hour-long conversation on more serious topics like hot takes, family lifestyles, and red flags.

Radley's approach may seem unconventional, but it's been proven effective by the show's impressive success rate. "For the most part, it's very obvious if there's chemistry there or not," she says. "And a lot of times when there isn't chemistry, I'll start filling in the gaps."

The selection process involves a bottle of wine and sifting through hundreds of applications with the help of matchmakers. Radley's team chooses the man first, then picks a woman based on the guy's listed type. Same-sex dates are also matched.

Despite its popularity, Stoop Dating is not without its challenges. Radley recalls a disastrous blind date in New York City where her date got so drunk that she needed friends to accompany her. But despite the occasional mishap, Radley remains committed to her vision of creating meaningful connections through face-to-face interactions.

For singles looking for a more authentic approach to dating, Stoop Dating offers an exciting alternative to traditional online platforms. And with its growing popularity, it's clear that this unique show is here to stay. So if you're ready to ditch the apps and take a chance on love in person, sign up now and join Julz Radley on her mission to bring people together through genuine connections.
 
I THINK STOOP DATING IS A GENIUS IDEA!!! WHO NEEDS ONLINE DATING WHEN YOU CAN MEET SOMEONE IN PERSON AND JUST SEE IF THERE'S CHEMISTRY???? I LOVE THE CONCEPT OF JULZ RADLEY CHOOSING THE CUPLE AND FOSTERING GENUINE CONNECTIONS IT'S LIKE A MATCHMAKING EXPERIENCE BUT WITH A TWIST!! AND THE FACT THAT SAME-SEX DATES ARE ALSO MATCHED IS SO COOL!!! I'M DEFINITELY DOWN TO TRY IT OUT IF I EVER NEED A BOOST OF CONFIDENCE FOR DATING
 
I'm loving this Stoop Dating thing! 🤩 It's so refreshing to see someone taking a stand against those boring online dating profiles and actually putting faces to names. And the fact that it's a blind date setup with a bottle of wine sounds like a total blast! 🍷 I mean, who doesn't love wine and getting to know someone new? The format seems so simple yet effective, too - you get a fun 30 minutes to break the ice, followed by some serious chats. It's like a perfect mix of playfulness and vulnerability. And Julz Radley is such a cool matchmaker - she knows exactly what she's doing. I'm totally intrigued to give it a try myself! 💕 Maybe we'll see more shows like this popping up in other cities? That would be awesome! 😊
 
🤔 I'm so down for Stoop Dating! It's like, we've been swiping left on each other for too long and need something real 💕. A porch setting is actually super cozy, who wouldn't want to chat with their match over wine 🍷? And omg the format sounds genius - 30 minutes of fun convo followed by some serious talk about life stuff 🤝. I'm curious to see how it works out for people, especially those who've been disappointed with online dating before 😔.

Radley's got a great vibe going on and I love that she's all about creating genuine connections 💯. And I'm so over the idea of being matched based on someone's personality type 🤷‍♀️. It's time to get real about what makes us tick, right? 🔥
 
I'm loving Stoop Dating, but at the same time, I'm also kinda skeptical lol 🤔♀️. On one hand, it's awesome that Julz is trying something new to combat the impersonal nature of online dating. And her approach sounds pretty chill – who wouldn't want to sit down and get to know someone on a porch? 💛 But at the same time, I'm worried about how they're selecting people... like, what if it's just based on superficial stuff? 🤷‍♀️ And what about when things don't go as planned? Like Julz said, she had that one disastrous date in NYC 😂. Anyway, for all the singles out there who want to try something new, I say go for it! Just be prepared for any outcome and have a support system ready 💖👫.
 
🤩 I'm loving the laid-back vibe of Stoop Dating! Sitting down on a porch with a stranger and just chatting sounds like my cup of tea 🍵. I mean, who needs apps when you can have real conversations over wine and good company? 😊 Julz Radley's approach is so refreshing - no more swiping through profiles or judging people based on their pics. It's all about the connections and vibes. 💕 And the format sounds genius! Getting to know someone for 30 minutes and then diving into deeper conversations... it's like the perfect formula for finding that special someone ❤️. Plus, I love that same-sex dates are included - it's amazing how much more representation we need in our dating world 🌈. Overall, Stoop Dating is a game-changer! 👏
 
I gotta say, I'm soooo over Stoop Dating 🙄 it's just another gimmick trying to make us believe that sitting on some porch with a stranger for an hour is gonna magically create love 💔. And don't even get me started on the whole "chemistry" thing, who needs that when you can have a good conversation about your favorite TV shows? 😂 and what's up with the wine-fueled selection process? sounds like a recipe for disaster 🍷
 
I gotta say, Stoop Dating sounds like a weird experiment, but it's kinda genius 🤔. I mean, who needs Tinder when you can have an hour-long conversation about hot takes? It's all about finding that real connection, and if Julz Radley's got the magic formula, then I'm all for it 💡. But at the same time, there are some major red flags - like what happens when someone gets too drunk on a blind date 🤣. Still, if you're tired of swiping left and right, Stoop Dating might be worth a shot. Just don't say I didn't warn you 😂.
 
omg i dont get why they need wine for the selection process 🍷🤔 like cant they just match them or something? but idk maybe its just a fun way to break the ice 🎉 so yeah stoop dating sounds kinda cool 👍 i mean who doesnt want genuine connections right 😊 what if its too awkward though lol what if they get stuck on that porch forever 💁‍♀️
 
I'm loving the idea of Stoop Dating 🤗. It's so refreshing to see someone taking a creative approach to finding love. I've tried online dating myself, and it can be such a letdown. This format sounds super fun and relaxed - who wouldn't want to have a chill conversation on a porch with a stranger? 😊 Julz Radley is onto something here! The fact that she's got a high success rate speaks for itself. I'm definitely going to check this out 👀
