In the olden days match making was the craft of a good old-fashioned matchmaker known in Armenian as the michnort. With that tradition slowly disappearing, a lot of our tatiks and papiks now recommend going to Armenian churches. The advice is to partake in youth groups and activities. It is an attempt to indulge and stay close to the Armenian culture. It is also a chance to mingle with other Armenians with the hope of finding our better halves within those communities. That said, times keep changing. With the rapid growth of technology and rise of online dating, that has been the way for many Armenian youths for trying to find their partners. That said, we are lucky to have a number of Armenian dating services – Apps & Websites that will offer wishful individuals the chance to connect with other like-minded Armenian individuals.
BAREV App
Taking into consideration the norms and behaviors of Armenian men and women this app connects Armenians around the world. There is no paid registration or subscription fee, you only pay for the possibility of sending requests for correspondence.
Kyanq App
Similar to Tinder but for Armenians. All you need to do is swipe right on someone you like. If they like you back you will match and get to talk to each other for free. You can use in-app upgrades to match with more Armenians faster.
Arm Room App
Arm Room uses geo targeting tools to bridge the gap between people. So you could be connecting with someone who is a block away or across the ocean. Although a dating app, it can also serve in making connections for your upcoming travels due to that geo targeting feature.
Armenian Passion
Both a website and an app. It is one of the few Armenian dating services that allows you to meet other members in a virtual reality/3D World. This features makes Armenian Passion one of the most advanced Armenian dating services.

Little Armenia Singles
Los Angeles aka Little Armenia is a small, yet growing community in East Hollywood. It has a large Armenian population and hundreds of highly visible Armenian businesses. Now, you also have a website that allows you to search and connect with other Armenians.
Obviously, we have come a long way from when we had michnorts to virtual dating.
Last, I want to tell our millennial Armenian generation to not feel pressured to marry because your parents/family are telling you “now is the age/time”. Only start when you feel it is the right time for you. And when you do, know that there are a lot of Armenian dating services out there to help you.
