Techie gets surprise 'matchmaking bonus' from client after project completion

A techie’s post about getting a “matchmaking offer” from his client after completing a project went viral.

What started as a regular work project for a software engineer ended on an unexpected and rather amusing note. A client he had been working with decided to offer him something far from a typical bonus: a “matchmaking bonus”.

In a viral post on X (formerly Twitter), user Daniel shared a screenshot of his chat with the client that quickly caught people’s attention.

“Just finished a project and got an unexpected matchmaking bonus,” he wrote while sharing the conversation.

Client’s sweet matchmaking gesture:

In the screenshot, Daniel politely informed his client that he had received the final payment, writing, “Yes, ma’am, I just received it. It was a pleasure working with you. Have a great evening.”

What came next was completely unexpected. The client replied, “It was a pleasure working with you, too, Daniel. I have a request, and I hope you feel comfortable with it."

"You’re a calm, thoughtful guy, and you sound really smart too. My daughter is will be visiting this weekend. I’d love for you two to meet and become friends,” the client further added.
