Critic reviews

"Blunt, funny, and actually helpful, Avgitidis could be the last dating expert you’ll ever need."—Bustle

"Maria is the sane and loving but realistic friend or auntie that you want at your side as you sort out the practical landscape of dating. Her book forces readers to reckon with their fantasies about love and relationships and provides the practical and realistic guidance we need to make decisions about relationships that are about growth, companionship, collaboration, respect, and yes–fun. If you follow her well-honed guidance from years in the matchmaking trenches, you can steer clear of some of the toxic potholes on the road to a healthy committed relationship."—Ramani Durvasula, Ph.D., Psychologist and New York Times Bestselling Author of It’s Not You: Understanding and Healing from Narcissistic Relationships

"Ask a Matchmaker is one of my favorite books to hit the market in years. This book combines science and academia with insights only a fourth generation matchmaker would have. The result is a book that makes you laugh, makes you feel empowered, and inspires you to find love."—Melissa Hobley, CMO of Tinder

I discovered Maria through the boom of a viral DM exchange she posted on IG back in 2023. I am so thankful to the algorithm and to her for that incredible moment in history and pop culture. This book is the magnum opus of the amazing info she so generously shares on her social media, educating the masses on how new the art of dating is and how hard it is to do love and relationships these days due to so many factors. But she gives the most practical guidance on how to do it. Just like I’d want a heart surgeon who’s operated thousands of times, Maria is an expert on relationships and how to navigate them based on her decades of experience. Thus, I take it very seriously and trust it with my life. Whether you’re searching for love or already in love, this book is the most down-to-earth and applicable that I’ve ever read. At the time of writing this, I’m in the happiest relationship I’ve ever been in and I know it is because of what she’s taught me. This book is a life hack. Buy the paperback AND the audiobook version, there are goodies for both experiences. Do the work she outlines in this book and your life will get better.

Timeless and life changing advice for all!
