If you're tired of LA's image-obsessed dating culture and ready to meet someone who sees past the surface—someone who appreciates your authentic self and wants to build something real together—you're in the right place.

The LA Dating Reality: Why Finding Love Here Feels Impossible
Add in dates that feel like pitch meetings and the constant sense that everyone's looking for an upgrade, and you get a city where only 26% say it's easy to find love.
- The 5-Mile Rule: If your match doesn't live within a 5-mile radius, the relationship is over before it starts. With 68% of professionals limiting their dating range to this tiny area, geography kills more relationships than incompatibility.
- The Flake Capital: LA flaking is next level. You're dressed, ready, walking to your car. Then comes the "So sorry, something came up!" text. The third time this happens in a month, you start to wonder why you even bother.
- Every Date's a Production: LA has the second-highest dating costs in the nation. When five mediocre dates per month mean dropping a thousand dollars, something needs to change. The "Something Better" Syndrome: With beautiful, accomplished people moving to LA daily, there's always the sense that someone more attractive or successful is just one swipe away.
- The 100+ Date Marathon: Many LA singles report going on "over 100 dates" before finding their person. When you've been to every rooftop bar in West LA and can recite the menu at Gjelina from memory, you know it's time for a different approach.
With VIDA Select, you bypass LA's exhausting dating culture and meet carefully-selected professionals who share your values, understand your success, and are genuinely ready for something meaningful.

How Our Los Angeles Matchmaking Service Works
In-Depth Discovery Session
We begin with a consultation that explores your relationship history, dating patterns, values, and true dealbreakers—insights no dating app algorithm could ever capture.
Comprehensive Search Beyond Our Database
Traditional services restrict matches to their small member base. We access LA's largest network of exceptional professionals, identifying matches who complement your lifestyle and values, not just whoever happened to sign up.
Thoughtfully Curated Introductions
Meet matches specifically chosen for deep compatibility. Each introduction is strategically arranged at venues that encourage authentic connection—perhaps dinner at Nobu Malibu, cocktails at The Peninsula Beverly Hills, or brunch at Geoffrey's where genuine connections develop naturally.
Continuous Refinement
Your honest feedback allows us to refine our approach—what felt genuine, what seemed performative. Every insight enhances our ability to find exactly the type of partner who appreciates the real you.
A Few More LA Success Stories…
Janice R.
"I wasn't anticipating being single in my late 50s, and I didn't even know where to begin with dating. The prospect of putting myself out there again was terrifying. My contact at VIDA was so much more than just a matchmaker, she was my biggest cheerleader and dating coach wrapped into one. It was exactly the help I needed."
Zach B.
"Every woman I met seemed to be chasing some dream or trying to 'make it' in something, which really meant they were financially unstable and looking for support. VIDA found me Lisa, who's a successful surgeon at Cedars-Sinai. She has her own life, her own success, and isn't looking for me to fund her aspirations."
Carlos L.
"VIDA was transparent. I got to see photos and a profile, and I approved every match before committing to a date. I said yes to 6 or 7 introductions and then on my 8th match we basically fell in love at first sight. She's incredible. It's been 6 months now and I've never been happier."
