VIDA was truly a 5 star experience. I met women I would never have attracted on the apps. Genevieve was my 5th or 6th match, and she’s exactly who I was hoping to meet. It’s early yet, but I’m already thinking about how I want to propose.

Why Successful Oregonians Are Still Single (And How We Fix It)
With over 4.2 million residents and thriving professional communities, Oregon should be a paradise for finding love—yet many accomplished singles struggle to find the relationship they want.
Here's what makes dating uniquely challenging for Oregon's professionals:
1
The Limited Pool Problem: Oregon's professional communities can feel surprisingly small. In smaller areas, young professionals often relocate elsewhere, while in cities like Portland, you quickly realize you're cycling through the same faces on every app and at every networking event.
2
The Alternative Lifestyle Assumption: Oregon's progressive reputation means many dating profiles emphasize non-monogamy, polyamory, or "keeping things casual"—leaving commitment-minded professionals feeling like wanting an actual relationship makes them the outlier.
3
The Third Place Desert: Finding affordable social venues outside of work and home where professionals actually mingle isn’t easy. Most singles default to dating apps, but apps lead to ghosting, superficial conversations, and endless first dates that go nowhere.
4
The Traffic Dating Tax: What looks manageable on a map becomes a relationship killer in reality. A 20-minute drive turns into an hour-plus commute during rush hour, making even promising connections feel geographically impossible.
VIDA Select helps you bypass these obstacles entirely and connect with carefully-selected Oregon professionals who understand your success level, share your relationship goals, and are genuinely committed to building something lasting.

From Salem's government corridors to Corvallis's research institutions and Bend's outdoor recreation industry, Oregon's most successful professionals are finding that personalized matchmaking delivers results where other approaches fail. Rather than leaving love to chance, your dedicated matchmaker handles the entire process from search to first date. You can look forward to highly compatible, pre-screened matches who are truly relationship worthy.

How Our Oregon Matchmaking Service Works
1
Comprehensive Discovery Session
The process begins with an in-depth consultation that explores your relationship history, core values, and lifestyle preferences, uncovering insights that no dating app algorithm could ever capture.
2
Strategic Search
Traditional services confine you to their limited member databases. We access Oregon's largest network of exceptional, relationship-ready professionals. From this extensive pool, we identify matches who genuinely align with your lifestyle and aspirations—then personally select only the most promising candidates.
3
Thoughtfully-Curated Introductions
Meet matches who've been specifically chosen for you. Each introduction is strategically arranged at venues that suit your preferences—perhaps dinner at Le Pigeon in Portland, wine tasting in the Willamette Valley, or an elegant evening at a Bend restaurant where conversation flows naturally against the backdrop of the Cascades.
4
Continuous Refinement
Your feedback shapes our approach—what resonated, what didn't work. Every insight enhances our ability to identify exactly the type of partner you'll connect with on both intellectual and emotional levels.
A Few More Oregon Success Stories...
Hannah K., Marketing Director,
Pearl District
"I’m not even that picky, I just didn’t want to meet anyone who was married, poly, only looking to hook up, or just a total waste of my time. I just couldn’t seem to attract the type of man I wanted a relationship with. I wish I’d called them sooner, they made meeting quality guys so much easier."
Sam M., Nonprofit Director,
Sellwood
"I wasn’t sure if a matchmaker could help me or not, but I decided to give it a try after going on a string of disappointing first dates from the apps. I worked with Jennifer, and she asked some really insightful questions to get to know me better. I was honestly shocked that they found Kara so quickly, she was just my second match!"
Terry P., Product Manager,
Hawthorne
"I fully admit I didn't come into VIDA with high hopes. I had tried a couple other matchmakers who just sent me on bad blind dates, but I was willing to give it one more try. Wish I'd started with VIDA, the team was amazing and my matches were spot on in terms of compatibility. The best part is I'm now in a relationship with match #4!"
