Every member takes the same compatibility quiz across values, life vision, family, money, lifestyle, emotional wiring, and growth — so "serious" isn't a label people claim, it's a fit Nonna can score.
For readers who want a serious relationship without a marriage-tomorrow timeline. Nonna scores timeline alignment separately so intent and timing both fit.
For readers who are past the transitional phase and ready for real. Nonna's readiness axis captures this directly.
For readers pointed at marriage over the next couple of years. Nonna surfaces matches whose timeline actually lines up.
You're not looking for casual, and you don't want another swipe app that keeps the room ambiguous. Nonna asks about intent and timeline directly — two of the first questions in the quiz — so the room self-sorts before you say hello.
Compatibility on the Serious dating filter looks different depending on how central it is to you — Nonna captures the strength of the preference, not just its existence:
The relevant question(s) from the live compatibility quiz — the same instrument every member takes, scored on the same scale for everyone:
“What are you ultimately looking for right now?”
Friendship, casual dating, long-term relationship, or marriage — ordinal so partial-fit still scores.
“What is your timeline for a serious commitment?”
Ordinal — from "not thinking about it yet" through "within the next year."
“How ready do you feel for a serious, committed relationship right now?”
Scale — captures self-reported readiness at this exact stage of life.
