Paired Down is a thoughtful matchmaking service for singles in New York City looking for meaningful connections. After you complete our comprehensive compatibility survey, our team pairs you with someone we believe could be a great match. We've spent the past year consulting with matchmaking professionals to reimagine how matches are made, with a focus on designing first dates based on principles of human connection—moving beyond traditional coffee meetups to create environments where genuine chemistry can flourish. You have full control over your experience, choosing which services you're open to, including optional date facilitation. Unlike dating apps where you swipe endlessly, we do the hard work of finding compatibility so you can focus on getting to know someone worth your time.

For those interested in sharing their story, Paired Down is also a podcast documenting our journey to becoming world-renowned matchmakers and the real first dates we facilitate. If you're open to it, we offer the option to record your first date and tell the story of how we brought you together. The podcast captures our evolution as matchmakers, the lessons we're learning, and the successes and failures that shape our approach. Whether you participate in the podcast or enjoy the matchmaking service privately, our goal remains the same: creating meaningful opportunities to meet someone special.
