In a city of eight million people, finding the one shouldn’t be this complicated. And yet, somewhere between dating app fatigue, endless options and the perpetual promise that someone better is an Instagram follow away, New York’s dating scene has become something of a paradox: everyone is looking, but no one seems to be finding.

When we start dating someone, it’s natural to look for answers to the big questions. They’re telling us about their week and we’re scanning for shared values, compatible lifestyles, and signs we’re heading in the same direction. And rightfully so. But what if, in all our concentration, we miss the invitation to play? Some of […]
We ask all of our clients how they like to express and experience romance. Some speak of grand gestures, others of the little things. The common thread is the effort behind the act. Remembering a detail mentioned weeks ago and planning a surprise around it. Arranging an evening around something we love. Helping to relieve […]
