We are living through an unprecedented era of burnout. Between the relentless demands of modern work culture, the crushing weight of daily responsibilities, and the constant barrage of distressing news cycles, millions of people are operating on emotional fumes. Now, a new culprit has emerged to compound this crisis: dating apps.

Having experienced firsthand both the high-pressure luxury market and the alternative approach I now practice, I’m pleased to report that director-writer Celine Song’s A24 film largely succeeds in depicting the genuine trials and tribulations of working in high-end matchmaking.

Miami's dating scene is as vibrant and complex as the city itself. With its blend of international sophistication, beach culture, and professional ambition, the Magic City attracts successful singles from around the world. Yet for many accomplished Miami professionals, finding a meaningful, lasting relationship remains surprisingly elusive.

Enter Nick Rosen of Met By Nick, Miami's premier matchmaking service that's transforming how the city's most discerning singles approach love and relationships.

You’re Smart. Successful. But Dating Still Feels Like a Time Suck.

You’ve built a good life. You’re confident in most areas.
But when it comes to dating? It still feels like guesswork.

Met By Nick’s Matchmaking solves that guesswork.

As the temperature rises and the days grow longer, June ushers in a season of possibility for singles looking to make meaningful connections. Whether you're newly single or have been navigating the dating scene for a while, summer—and particularly June—offers unique opportunities to meet potential partners in settings that naturally foster authentic interactions. At Met By Nick, we've seen countless success stories bloom alongside summer flowers, and we're here to share our expertise on making the most of this vibrant dating season.

Nick’s Guide to Intentional Matchmaking is a step-by-step roadmap to finding meaningful connection in today’s challenging dating landscape. Unlike generic dating advice that focuses on superficial tactics, this guide addresses the root causes of dating dissatisfaction and provides actionable frameworks for authentic connection.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this year, I’ve found myself thinking less about wellness in the polished, motivational sense-and more about something that is more sensitive to talk about: loneliness.

Dating is supposed to feel exciting. Hopeful. Even fun. But for a lot of people right now, it feels more like an unpaid part-time job with no clear reward. You’re stuck in the loop of swiping, matching, messaging, waiting, following up, waiting again, and trying to decode silence.

Tired of dating apps? QUALITY offers intentional matchmaking for emotionally available singles. Join a network that values connection, clarity, and care.

In a dating world dominated by swipes, pseudoscience, and performance, matchmaking offers something radical: truth. This manifesto explores why matchmaking isn’t a luxury—it’s the antidote to modern disconnection. Written by matchmaker Nick Rosen, it’s a call to reclaim dating as intentional, human, and deeply real.

As a matchmaker, I scout for quality singles in real life—at restaurants, concerts, museums, and even on planes. It’s not just about looks; I notice confidence, social awareness, and subtle green flags that show someone is relationship-ready. Want to date with intention? Learn how I find great singles and how you can, too.

There’s a lot of anger in dating right now—jadedness, paranoia, resentment. And honestly? I get it. People are exhausted from the guessing game, the mixed signals, the unmet expectations. But at the core of it all is one simple issue: miscommunication.

That’s why I feel so confident about the work I do as a matchmaker. Unlike the typical dating scene, matchmaking brings a third person into the equation—someone who can provide clarity, bridge the communication gap, and remove the unnecessary confusion that fuels frustration. When people finally understand how the other person feels, without assumptions or second-guessing, dating becomes less of a battlefield and more of a real, meaningful connection.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re single in NYC, there’s no better way to celebrate than at Gertie’s Valentine’s Singles Supper — a curated evening of great food, sparkling drinks, and even better company. Hosted by Matchmaker Nick Rosen of Met By Nick, this event is designed to take the pressure off dating apps and bring like-minded, intentional singles together in a warm, welcoming environment.

As we dive into 2025, dating trends are evolving to reflect a stronger focus on intentionality, personal growth, and meaningful relationships. Singles are moving away from swipe-based dating culture and embracing deeper, more authentic connections. From activity-based dating events to wellness-focused practices, the trends this year point to innovative ways to meet people and find love.

When people think of challenging professions, matchmaking likely doesn’t come to mind. But for those of us in the field, the demands of this work are undeniable. Matchmaking is more than a job — it’s a calling that requires resilience, emotional intelligence, and a commitment to helping people navigate one of the most personal aspects of their lives: love.

Through a combination of NYC population data, Pew Research studies, and my experience as a professional matchmaker, I’ve observed clear patterns in how long it takes singles in their 30s and 40s to find a meaningful connection in the Big Apple.

Whether you’re looking to dive into curated social events, explore the city with expert guidance, or leverage personalized matchmaking services, NYC offers everything you need to enhance your dating life. This guide focuses on the top social event groups, insights from NYC experiences experts, and the benefits of matchmaking services to help you find love in the city that never sleeps.

Our society’s obsession with individualism, reinforced by higher education, business practices, and popular culture, has turned the search for connection into a hyper-curated, self-focused journey. The problem? This overemphasis on personal desires and experiences often overlooks the larger forces at play, leaving many struggling to find the meaningful relationships they truly want.

If you’re ready to stop swiping and start connecting, Met By Nick is here to help. As one of the few male matchmakers in the industry, I bring a unique understanding of the dating challenges men face. My mission is simple: to help you meet incredible women while saving you time, effort, and frustration.

As a matchmaker, I believe understanding the larger context of dating is essential. Statistics and insights into how NYC’s population is distributed can bring clarity to what might otherwise feel like a deeply personal struggle. Many singles blame themselves for not being in a relationship, but often, the challenges come from broader trends in demographics and cultural expectations. This perspective helps singles approach dating with more confidence and compassion for themselves.
