A bit about us…
We’re Erin & Victoria Butler, the creators and founders of Dateable.
Following a career in law, Erin leveraged her gift for emotional math (real math, not so much, just ask her tax law prof) by coaching executives through all manner of business and personal matters.
After working in various positions for the world’s most elite matchmakers, she was invested in her clients and loved the work, but knew there was so much room for improvement.
The idea for Dateable cohered on a rainy mother-daughter walk in Central Park. “Ok, so matchmaking, but smarter and better, with the brand to match.” This is where Victoria came in.
An organizational wizard with a strong tech background and keen operational sense, they were Dateable’s first perfect match.
About Dateable
Dating has always been complicated, but it used to be a lot more fun. From the days of passing notes around in class, to slowly falling for your college lab partner; coffee-shop encounters and elevator meet-cutes. We seem to have lost some of that magic. Now, this isn’t a manifesto, and we’re not some anti-tech luddites, but online dating has stolen so much excitement and wonder, replacing it with fear and stress.
We are immersed in a dating culture that has taught us to mistrust ourselves, one another, and caught us in a vicious circle of testing, defending, shopping and chronic dissatisfaction where we don’t know how to be real. It can get pretty lonely.
Dateable is the antidote do modern dating; we’re the right way to do matchmaking.
We have cultivated an expansive global network of smart, successful people that are interviewed and vetted who seek the Dateable way.
Our clients choose us because they are at a point in life where they want a relationship NOW, but they don’t have the time or wherewithal to weather the process alone.
What keeps us going? It’s the high-fives and smiles when see the wedding photos and baby pictures come in. Getting off those “HE IS AMAZING, CANCEL MY OTHER INTRODUCTIONS” follow up calls, that’s what lights us up.
We live in a world where we are constantly training for excellence, yet we are sent to the altar on a wing and a prayer, with nothing but vows to hold together the most important relationship of our lives.
Or we don’t make it to the altar because we are immersed in a dating culture that has taught us to mistrust ourselves, one another, and caught us in a vicious circle of testing, defending, shopping and chronic dissatisfaction where we don’t know how to be real and it’s lonely as fuck.
We deserve better than this!
Dateable is the right way to do matchmaking; we’re the solution to modern dating. your relationship excellence training. We’re not strictly matchmaking per se. We’re also more. Dateable stands for supported dating & relationship building.
And our team creates relationship miracles every day.
What’s our secret? Sure, you need to have the connections and know the right people to maintain a functioning network. A deep, intuitive understanding of the fundamental forces that drive relationships is also a must. But providing matchmaking services that truly benefit people requires more than that.
The answer might seem underwhelming… but the truth is, it’s a lot of hours, hard work, and precision to detail.
We pour our hearts into your stories, histories, and your most vulnerable truths. helping you understand yourself, undo your patterns, find and build relationships with less confusion and anguish, and greater clarity and confidence.
You can’t match people if you don’t truly know both of them, and that takes time. Algorithms can’t do this, and we’re still a ways away from quantum computing.
Relationships don’t have to be hard if you build them right.
