Hand-picked introductions in San Francisco. No apps, no noise. Just the perfect person!



I'm Blaine, and I've helped >7,000 happy matchmaking and coaching clients find love since starting Dating By Blaine in 2020.
My work has been featured in the New York Times, on Shark Tank (Mark Cuban offered me a deal during Season 15), and >1 million singles follow me for dating advice on Instagram, YouTube, and X.
That's just to say...
My life's work is helping men in San Francisco find amazing wives!
I know the SF dating scene intimately. I met my husband in San Francisco in 2019 at the Marina Barry's. If you're ready to find your forever partner, too, I'd be thrilled to introduce you to her.

I'm not saying this to frighten you, but it's worth highlighting the challenges guys like you face dating in San Francisco:
"There are more single men than single women, and I feel that every time I step outside..."
No, you're not imagining the gender imbalance. There are >10% more prime-dating-age men than women according to recent U.S. Census Data, and this doesn't even account for the fact that older men also compete for the same pool of younger women.
Women in SF have options, and that makes the dating market difficult for men. Whether that's "fair" isn't really relevant. The point is, you need a strategy to stand out, especially if you're looking for a desirable partner.
"My job is intense, and I don't have a ton of spare time outside work..."
San Francisco's technology and finance ecosystems reward and celebrate professional obsession. Working long hours is essential for your career, but difficult for your dating life.
The good news is, the same way an EA can take work off your plate at the office, a matchmaker can take work off your plate when it comes to finding a partner.
"I'm not always attracted to the women I meet in SF..."
It's true that you won't find as many models in San Francisco as you will in cities with robust entertainment industries like New York and Los Angeles.
Still, there are actually a lot of beautiful, smart, driven, and feminine women in SF. You just might need help getting in front of them.
I know this, because I've lived and dated in San Francisco!
My network in SF and the broader Bay Area is phenomenal, and there's a very good chance my team and I can find whoever you're looking to meet.


Our first step is understanding your background and dating life. How'd you get here? What makes you feel excited? Who do you tend to be attracted to? What does the right relationship look like? What have you tried, and where have things broken down?
If I'm not confident we can find who you're looking for, we shouldn't work together, and I'll tell you that. We've had enormous success matching for clients in SF, but matchmaking is a big investment, and I only work with clients I'm confident I can make happy.
Our matchmaking engagements are typically structured as 6-month searches. During that timeframe, we'll propose at least 10 hand-picked introductions to women who match your search criteria, and who have already expressed excitement about meeting you.
We can focus your search exclusively on San Francisco, or we can look in other cities like New York or Los Angeles if you're open to travel, and you want to cast a wider net. Either way, every introduction we make is carefully curated just for you!
SF women are perceptive, and they do their research. Before we start your search, we'll make sure you're putting your best foot forward. Depending on the client, this can include:
Our goals are to get feeling like your 100% authentic best self, and get you onto great dates that lead to the relationship you've been looking for.
How we find matches for our clients is pretty different from how most other matchmakers find matches.
Most other matchmakers try to make connections between their paying male and paying female clients. This isn't what the type of guys we work with are looking for.
We source every match for our clients by hand through:
Any match we share with you has been vetted by our team, and is excited to meet you. We want to eliminate all the stress from connecting IRL for a date, so we'll help you send the right text, and even pick the perfect spot for dinner or drinks based on the vibe (e.g. skip dinner, and take her to Horsies in the Mission...)
All you have to do is show up, and have a good time getting to know someone special.

Tara and I don't just have experience matching for SF clients. Unlike other matchmakers, we've actually been single in San Francisco, and we've successfully navigated San Francisco's unique dating scene. We've know the personalities and challenges you're up against, because we've experienced them ourselves first hand.
Looking for an attractive woman in her 20s or 30s? Consider hiring a team of attractive women in their 20s and 30s. We're more likely to have personal connections with the women you want to meet than matchmakers multiple decades older because they're our friends, and we meet them as part of our day-to-day lives around SF.
Our clients are men, and only men. The women we introduce to our male clients aren't also paying us for matchmaking services, or to be part of a "database."
We find and vet matches just for you, which gives you more and better options, plus we avoid the conflict of interest you'd have with matchmakers who serve male and female clients.
Unlike many Bay Area matchmakers who make you sit through a consultation before sharing costs, I'm upfront. My matchmaking service starts at $25,000. More on pricing below!
You're not looking for another situationship, or hookup. You're ready to find someone for the long-term.
Dating isn't hard for you because you lack confidence or social skills. It's hard because the right matches are rare.
You're at a point in your career where you can comfortably invest five figures toward finding your person.

Unlike other matchmakers, I don't hide my prices. My matchmaking service starts at $25,000 and most searches for my San Francisco clients land in $30,000 to $55,000 range.
The exact price of your search is a function of its complexity:
If you're looking for super specific traits in a partner, and especially if the women you're looking for aren't always attracted to you, that pushes the cost up.
Get in touch below, and we can pricing and package specifics 1x1.

Yes. Our sourcing motion for matches in SF is different versus other cities in that we rely even more heavily on our strong personal networks here. The gender ratio imbalance in the Bay Area is real, but it's not a problem for our matchmaking clients.
Maybe! If "small talk isn't my thing" is actually just code for "I'm a bad conversationalist," matchmaking probably isn't the right choice for you right now.
You should explore working with a dating coach on my team first, so you can learn to lead conversations that create chemistry on dates.
If you're a great conversationalist, and you just don't want to waste time across the dinner table from someone you won't click with, matchmaking is designed for you.
The entire point of hiring us is that we find and vet potential matches in a way that dramatically increases the likelihood you'll find a real connection with anyone you meet for a first date!
Every Dating By Blaine matchmaking client has a primary matchmaker point of contact. Most of our SF clients pair with Tara, because she's physically in SF.
Regardless, I stay copied on every communication you have with your matchmaker, and I personally approve every match that comes your way.
Absolutely. Many of our San Francisco clients date in multiple cities, e.g. because they travel often for work. SF and NYC is a common pairing. We've even successfully matched for a client who split time between SF and Lisbon.
We can often coordinate matches in multiple cities around your travel schedule, as long as we have enough visibility into where you'll be when.
Some of our SF clients don't necessarily travel for work, but are looking for someone specific enough that a broader search scope (e.g. LA + NYC) makes sense. In this case, what's critical is that you're comfortable traveling for dates, or willing to take first dates via FaceTime. We can discuss further 1x1.
Some SF clients find their forever partner within the first few introductions; others take longer. Your timeline will depend on your search criteria, availability for dates, and of course a bit of luck.
We haven't observed a meaningful difference in timelines for our SF clients, versus guys we match for in other cities. Sure, the local dating market is trickier to navigate than NYC for example, but we have a great network in SF, and we love to move fast for our clients.
Maybe! If you're an amazing single woman in San Francisco, and you'd like to be considered as a potential match for one of our SF-based clients, fill out my women's intake here and we'll be in touch if we have a strong match.

I made this page to answer questions for potential matchmaking clients based in SF, but my team and I serve with clients across the U.S. (and even some clients internationally!)
Outside the Bay Area, our networks for finding great matches are strongest in major U.S. cities like:
Wherever you're based (and wherever you're looking to date), if everything else so far has resonated and you're ready to find you're person, I'd recommend getting in touch
At the least, we'll give you an honest assesment of whether we think we can help ♥️
