Maria Avgitidis in Conversation with Chrissy Rutherford: Ask a Matchmaker

Advice on Modern Dating

May 28, 2025

Renowned matchmaker Maria Avgitidis — or Matchmaker Maria, to her 70,000 Instagram followers — joins us for a fresh, modern look at dating in honor of her new book, Ask A Matchmaker, and a live taping of her hit podcast of the same name.

Finding love isn’t easy — and these days, dating can often feel like a never-ending cycle of swipes and small talk, where real connections are hard to come by. But finding your person isn’t impossible, and Maria Avgitidis is here to help. How do you find someone who shares your values? How do you develop realistic expectations? How do you find love in your community rather than relying on the apps? Blending personal stories and expert insight, Avgitidis offers the kind of straight-talking, no-nonsense advice that only a true friend can give. In a special live taping of her popular podcast, join Matchmaker Maria for a fresh, funny, modern perspective on romantic connection and true love.

This program is part of 92NY Recanati-Kaplan Talks.
