Matchmaking by R&Co.
Tired of the swipe? We were too.
Skip the Apps. Let’s be honest—dating apps are exhausting. You’re trapped in a cycle of endless swiping, superficial conversations, and ghosting. Finding someone who shares your values shouldn't feel like a second full-time job.
Curated for the DMV. Our team believes your time is your most valuable asset—and who you spend it with matters. We serve vibrant professionals and intentional singles aged 25 to 85+. Whether you are straight, queer, or anywhere on the gender spectrum, our doors are open to those who are emotionally available and ready for a higher standard of dating.
We handle the strategy. You handle the chemistry. Our team does the heavy lifting of vetting matches for long-term compatibility and shared values. If we find you a match, we invite you to an in-person match day for your first date.
If you’re ready for your last "first date," request an application now!

STEP 01
The Application
It starts with an intentional "yes." Submit the form to request a no cost Application to begin the process. You'll receive our in-depth questionnaire for you to detail your goals, lifestyle, and non-negotatiables. Our team will review your application and determine if you’ll be accepted into a confidential matchmaking database. We assess for (1) genuine intention to seek a long-term partner and (2) compatibility with our existing clients. You’ll receive an e-mail within two weeks to confirm whether or not you’ve been accepted into our database.
We offer a $95 Priority Status tier for accepted members who want their application vetted immediately, bumped to the top of our matching pool, and actively prioritized matching.
STEP 02
The Matchmaking Analysis
If you’re accepted into our database, our team personally analyzes every profile—evaluating core values, communication styles, and long-term goals—to identify if we have a match for you. Should a match not be identified for you during the current application cycle, you will remain in our vetted database for consideration in future cycles. . No cold algorithms.
STEP 03
The Invitation to Match Day
If we find a high-potential match for you, we plan the first date for you. You’ll receive an exclusive invitation to Match Day. Your ticket ($275) unlocks a curated experience at an upscale DMV venue: a facilitated introduction to your match explaining why you were paired, one premium welcome cocktail or mocktail, and a chef-selected tasting menu of hor d’ouvres.
Forget first date jitters. Our team joins the first few minutes of each date, personally introduces you, shares the "why" behind your pairing, and gives you a meaningful head start on a real connection. We identify synergy on paper, but the sparks are up to you!"
