'After my divorce, I wasn't looking forward to dating. But VIDA made it easy. My matchmaker got to know me, and my matches were just what I was looking for. It’s an investment compared to going it alone on the apps, but so worth it.'
Why Successful Philadelphians Are Still Single (And How We Fix It)
Look, dating in Philly is brutal. Here's why:
- The "Small City" Trap: Philadelphia quickly "starts to feel very small," where you see "familiar faces everywhere you go" after just a week on dating apps.
- The Professional Isolation Phenomenon: Philadelphia's major industries—from healthcare to finance to biotech—create natural professional clusters. When most social time happens with colleagues, meeting someone completely outside that world requires intentional effort.
- The Reliability Problem: Last-minute cancellations and sudden radio silence have become so common that actually showing up for a planned date feels like a rare courtesy. The constant uncertainty makes it hard to get excited about anyone you found on an app.
- First Date Financial Pressure: With the average first date costing $153 in Philadelphia, every interaction feels like a high-stakes investment. Between dinner in Rittenhouse, drinks in Old City, and the eternal search for parking that doesn't cost more than the meal, you're spending serious money on strangers—and most don't even lead to a second date.
With VIDA Select, you skip right past these barriers and meet carefully-selected professionals who share your values, understand your ambitions, and are genuinely ready to find a serious relationship.

How Our Philadelphia Matchmaking Service Works
Comprehensive Discovery Session
We begin with an in-depth consultation exploring your relationship history, core values, and deal-breakers—insights no dating app algorithm could ever fully capture. We also discuss your schedule realities to find someone who truly gets your professional life.
Strategic Search
Traditional services limit you to their small member base, while we access Philadelphia's largest network of exceptional professionals. From this extensive community, we identify matches who complement your lifestyle and values, then personally select only the most promising for you to meet.
Thoughtfully Curated Introductions
Meet matches who've been specifically chosen for you. Each date is strategically arranged at venues that encourage genuine conversation—craft cocktails at R2L in Center City, dinner at Zahav in Society Hill, wine at Tria in Rittenhouse, or a cultural experience at the Philadelphia Museum of Art where authentic connections develop naturally.
Continuous Feedback Loop
The input we receive after each match allows us to refine the search, with those insights enhancing our ability to find exactly the type of person you want to build a relationship with.
Real Philadelphia Professionals Who Found Love
Aaron S.
"I moved to Philly from Boston for a position at CHOP and spent three years trying to build a dating life from scratch. The apps were brutal—half my matches lived in South Jersey, which felt like long-distance dating. I couldn't make organic connections work either. VIDA changed everything."
Stephanie L.
"My matchmaker seemed pretty intuitive—she picked up on my type quickly and understood that I needed someone who got the demands of corporate life. She introduced me to Robert, and we've been seeing each other for over a year now."
Robert S.
"I didn't really know matchmaking was a thing until a friend suggested VIDA because it worked for a colleague of his. I called because between launching a startup and everything else, I had no social life but was tired of being single. My 4th match met me at a wine bar, and we talked until closing. We've been inseparable since."
