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.
