Dating in NYC Is Hard… But We Make It Effortless
Here's the reality... NYC's dating scene can be exhausting:
- Choice paralysis: With 8+ million people, the "grass is greener" mentality makes commitment feel impossible—there's always someone potentially better just one swipe away
- Sky-high costs meets high stakes: As one of the nation's most expensive dating markets, every interaction can start to feel like a high-pressure investment
- Geographic deal-breakers: Cross-borough dating turns into a logistical nightmare, causing many singles to limit their dating pool to familiar areas
- Competition mindset: With so many high-achievers and attractive singles, dating can feel like a competition where everyone needs to be the most successful, most polished, most interesting version of themselves
- Time scarcity trap: Between 70+ hour work weeks and lengthy commutes, finding time to date feels impossible—yet apps demand constant attention just to get one mediocre coffee date
With VIDA Select, you skip the frustrations and move straight to meeting highly-compatible NYC singles who share your values, relationship goals, and lifestyle expectations.

How Our NYC Matchmaking Service Works
Personalized Consultation
Your journey begins with an in-depth discussion with your dedicated matchmaker, exploring your relationship history, values, and deal-breakers—elements no algorithm can factor in.
Strategic Search
While traditional matchmakers limit you to their small client pool, we draw from a network of over 300,000 exceptional local singles. We use our deep understanding of what makes you uniquely you to carefully hand-select and screen every potential match against your criteria.
Curated Introductions
Meet carefully vetted NYC professionals who align with your vision for the future. We coordinate all arrangements, selecting venues that match your style—whether it's cocktails at The Dead Rabbit in Financial District, dinner at Le Bernardin in Midtown, or a cozy wine bar in Greenwich Village.
Continuous Refinement
After each introduction, we gather your feedback and refine our approach, ensuring each match brings you closer to finding your ideal partner.
