About Blossoms
Since 1974
A long-running matchmaking brand that still treats trust as the product.
With a pioneering spirit, the company became the first American-owned enterprise to establish a globally recognized online dating site fostering friendship, love, and marriage connections.
Boasting accreditation as a reputable and responsible business, Blossoms Dating is steadfastly committed to integrity.
Cherry Blossoms is the oldest Dating Company in the world. Established on February 22, 1974, as a pen-pal catalog called “Rainbow Ridge”. The purpose was to help men in the United States find companionship, love and marriage with women from other countries. In 1995 our website was released to convert from a paper publication to electronic and expand our reach to men from all over the world with women from Asia, particularly in the Philippines.
What makes the brand distinct
Blossoms is not trying to look like a disposable dating app. The differentiator is continuity: decades of operating history, a clear international niche, and a more deliberate approach to matching. If you want the practical side of that trust story, see Dating Safety or browse the FAQ guide.

How Blossoms works as a brand
Committed to Integrity
While the dating site is affectionately referred to as "Cherry Blossoms" or "CB" by the Baby Boomer and Generation X demographic, the millennial generation has rebranded it as "Blossoms Dating" and further shortened the moniker to simply "Blossoms." This transformation in naming reflects the shifting cultural dynamic and the continued evolution of the site's relevance to contemporary society.
Blossoms Dating offers various services to help members find a match, including a search function that allows members to filter their search results by criteria such as age, location, and interests.
The site also provides various resources and tools to help members navigate the dating process, including articles and advice on topics such as writing a good profile, communicating effectively with potential partners, and avoiding common pitfalls of online dating.
Blossoms Dating prioritizes the human-centered approach and is dedicated to fostering real and meaningful connections between its users. This is achieved through several vital strategies emphasizing the importance of personal relationships, human judgment, self-expression, community building, and responsible moderation.
