I'm Blaine, your
Professional Matchmaker

We work with clients across the globe, if 95% of our clients are based in the U.S.

Our personal networks are strongest in major U.S. cities, and we feel most confident matching for clients in:

• New York City
• Washington D.C.
• Boston
• Miami & Palm Beach
• San Francisco
• Los Angeles
• San Diego
• Chicago
• Dallas
• Austin
• Houston
• Nashville

We've also successfully matched for clients in smaller U.S. cities, and in cities outside the U.S. like London, Lisbon, Paris, and Mexico City.

Zooming out:

• We can find matches almost anywhere, so we're open to working with clients almost anywhere!
• If you're based somewhere remote, and you can't travel for dates, we're probably not a good fit.

Yes, we often work with clients who date in >1 city.

For example, we have a current client who lives in San Francisco, but spends 1-2 weeks a month in New York City. We're finding matches for him in both SF and NYC accordingly!

Certain matchmaking searches may require you to take introductions in >1 city.

For example, if you're looking for someone super specific, and you live somewhere remote, we may even need national scope to deliver the right match!

What's critical is that you're willing to either:

1. Travel for dates, or...
2. Take first dates via Facetime

We can discuss search geography 1x1 based on your needs.

Maybe! We're always open to exploring complex matchmaking searches. We'll also be the first to tell you if we don't feel confident we can find who you're looking for.

For example, if you're 50 and you're seeking to find a younger woman to start a family with, we can often help.

Additional criteria (e.g. "28, blonde, Harvard graduate, expert skier...") can make your pool of potential matches vanishingly slim, however, and we don't want to waste your time or money.

Each client's search is unique, so get in touch, and we can discuss your specific goals and requirements.

Dating apps like Hinge, Raya, and Match.com seemingly give you access to a huge pool of potential matches. However, the burden of meeting the right person falls 100% on you!

A professional matchmaker is different. We handle all  the work involved with landing dates:

• We identify potential matches based on your criteria
• We screen potential matches for compatibility
• We get potential matches excited to meet you when we see strong relationship potential
• We even help you plan dates!

The other big difference is access. Many of the best women aren't on dating apps (or at the least, you might not match with them if they are on dating apps!)

We have access to amazing single women through our personal networks, social media, and real-life sourcing. These women might not trust other matchmakers, but they trust us to introduce them to our clients, because of our track record and judgment!

This depends on your situation!

If you're looking for a long-term relationship, your time is valuable enough that spending hours on dating apps (or trying to meet women IRL) feels unsustainable, and you seldom encounter women you're genuinely excited about today...

Hiring a professional matchmaker is worth it.

If you're not sure if you want a relationship, you're not in the financial position to comfortably outsource hundreds of hours of skilled work to a professional matchmaker, and especially if you organically meet women you're excited about today...

Hiring a professional matchmaker probably isn't worth it.

Whether matchmaking is worth the investment also depends heavily on your expectations.

My team and I bend over backwards to deliver great results to our clients, but...

We're matchmakers, not magicians!

If you're looking for someone who doesn't exist, or someone who isn't interested in dating you, that's outside our control.

We also can't guarantee we'll find your wife, beause whether you marry a woman we introduce you to depends on a variety of factors that may not take shape for months (or even years) after we've worked together.

Still, what we can guarantee is:

1. We put enormous amounts of thought, care, and effort into every client's search, and...
2. We'll deliver introductions you're excited about!

If that sounds interesting, we should chat.

Most of our engagements are structured as 6-month searches, where I'll guarantee at least 10 hand-picked introductions to women who meet your search criteria, and have already opted into meeting you.

Hopefully we'll find your person much faster than that, of course 😜

Matchmaking packages also typically include professional styling and photos, and depending on your situation, we can also include coaching sessions with a dating coach on my team.

Every woman we introduce to a client has completed an in-depth conversation with a matchmaker on our team, where we:

• Get to know her, her personality, and background
• Understand what she's looking for in a partner
• Make sure there's strong mutual compatibility
• Confirm sure she's genuinely excited to meet you (not just "open to being set up")

I can't guarantee sparks will fly on every first date you go on, but I can guarantee that you'll be impressed by the quality of your matches and dates!

Not every client accepts every match we propose. Not every introduction will lead to a second date. That's to be expected: we're matchmakers, not magicians!

You'll share feedback after every match (and date) so we can understand what went well, what didn't, and how we can adjust our search and screening motions for your next match.

Your feedback directly shapes our search going forward, and this is an iterative process!

Two more notes here:

1. Most of our matchmaking engagements are 6 months, and we typically share ~2 matches per month over that timeframe, which means we have lots of shots on goal to find your person!
2. Unlike many other professional matchmakers, we have a refund policy. If you're not happy with your matches, we'll give you a refund. We can discuss details via email before you decide to work with us.

Our matchmaking process is designed with protecting your privacy in mind.

Many of our clients have high-profile careers in technology, finance, law, medicine, and media, and don't want their dating lives to be public. To this end:

1. We only disclose your personally identifiable information to qualified potential matches on a need-to-know basis;
2. We would never disclose your personally identifiable information to any 3rd parties outside of potential matches;
3. Only essential Dating By Blaine team members will be aware of our professional relationship, and any of your personally identifiable information.

With that in mind, matchmaking doesn't lend itself to 100% confidentiality by nature. We must share some details about your identity to get a match interested in meeting you, for example! If you're not comfortable with that, matchmaking probably isn't for you.

If you have specific privacy concerns not addressed here, get in touch, and let's discuss them!

We exclusively work with male clients today. We have no financial relationship with women we introduce clients to.

This is an important distinction. Some matchmakers work with both male and female clients, which can create a conflict of interest (i.e. the matchmaker may feel motivated to pair their paying clients with each other, rather than finding the best match...)

Also, it should go without saying, but just so it's clear:

We would never pay women to go on dates with our clients!

If you're a woman interested in being considered as a match for one of our clients, you can apply here.

The honest answer is, it depends!

Your timeline is influenced by how specific your criteria are, how available you are for dates, which cities you're open to dating in, and a bit of luck. We'll give you a realistic assessment during our first conversation based on your specific situation.

Our matchmaking packages are usually structured as 6-month engagements, with a minimum of 10 hand-picked introductions. Some clients meet their person within the first few introductions; others find her closer to the end of the search; others may need multiple packages!

One more thing I'd add here is that the #1 biggest input into when you'll find your person is you:

• How motivated are you?
• Are you actually ready for a relationship?
• How realistic are you about who's out there, and who you'd be compatible with?

Three main ways we're different from other matchmakers:

First, we don't rely on a database for matches.‍

Most matchmakers (especially the biggest and best-known firms) match clients primarily from their existing pools of paying members. We find every match for you individually, from scratch, through personal networks, social media, and real-life sourcing.

Second, we're transparent about pricing.‍

Many matchmakers require a consultation before they'll tell you what their service costs. Our matchmaking service starts at $25,000, and we're upfront about that.

Third, our sourcing ability is exceptional.

We have amazing personal networks, and thanks to our social media presence, we can connect with women who would likely ignore outreach from a traditional matchmaking firm. This means higher-quality matches for our clients!
