No - eugenics is by definition arranged. If a government nudged you to pair up with someone, that would be eugenics, but if you choose a mate of your own free will, it's not.
How much nudging do you need before it's eugenics? Would it be eugenics if you were to take young men and women, separate them roughly by area of interest and level of intellectual achievement, remove them from the chaperoning influence of their families, and put them in an institution for four years at the perfect time of their life to form pair bonds? What if you additionally supplied them with easy access to alcohol?

If you're choosing mates at all, it means you're judging the value of other human beings. You're accepting some and rejecting others based on what you think or feel is best. It's just eugenics practiced by the general population according to highly variable personal criteria.
This is not inherently superior to some explicit eugenics program. It's about the principle of individual autonomy.
