In a world where romantic encounters often happen in a rush, Nancy and Jean-François’ story reminds us of an essential truth: building a strong relationship takes time, openness, and genuine intention. Together for nearly seven months, they perfectly embody the values promoted by Amora, earning them a well-deserved nomination for Couple of the Year 2026.
A dating journey built on patience and openness
Even before becoming a couple, Nancy and Jean-François accepted that their path to meeting would not be instantaneous. They showed patience throughout the process and, above all, openness in their respective preferences, understanding that deep compatibility goes far beyond rigid criteria.
As Jean-François explains:
“Bars, like in our time, don’t really work anymore… Amora was the solution for us.”
For them, a more structured, more human approach was needed, one better suited to the reality of serious singles today.
A human approach that makes all the difference
From the very first conversations, Nancy and Jean-François felt reassured by the clarity and professionalism of the team: “The people we spoke with were professional, they were clear… and that made us want to move forward.”
One aspect of the experience particularly stood out to Jean-François:
“That’s when we understood that at Amora, it’s not artificial intelligence choosing people, but real humans who saw the potential between us.”
This human dimension made it possible to look beyond first impressions and focus on true compatibility potential.
Accepting doubts… and choosing openness
The meeting was not without hesitation. Jean-François admits it honestly: “I had a lot of doubts,” especially when he learned that Nancy had a dog, despite his allergy. Instead of closing the door, he chose to explore the connection with openness.
Nancy, for her part, offers a clear-eyed perspective on modern dating dynamics:
“At the grocery store, you look in people’s carts, the person seems single… they finish shopping and go home to look for a girlfriend on social media.”
For them, a solution more aligned with a serious and intentional relationship was needed.
A relationship built with intention
From the very beginning, the foundation was clear. “We’re here for something serious,” Nancy says.
She also highlights Jean-François’ involvement in the early weeks:
“Jean-François organized our first 15 dates around different themes,” turning each meeting into a meaningful moment of discovery.
As for challenges, particularly related to his allergy, they approach them with pragmatism:
“There are solutions, it can be managed,” Nancy reminds us. A philosophy that reflects their ability to build a relationship grounded in reality, not idealization.
Shared plans for the future
Today, Nancy and Jean-François are clearly moving in the same direction. They talk about officially moving in together, planning renovations, and taking trips. These concrete plans reflect a couple rooted in the present, yet firmly focused on the long term.
Their story is one of a thoughtful meeting, shared effort, and intentional commitment. It perfectly illustrates that with the right approach, the right people, and the right guidance, it is still possible to build a lasting and inspiring relationship. A journey that fully deserves its nomination for Couple of the Year 2026.
