“Dale is a gifted intuitive reader with a rare ability to read faces and sense the deeper energetic and higher alignment of the people he works with.”
I experienced this firsthand long before we built Modern Day Matchmaking together, and it was one of the things that made me certain his approach to understanding people was something genuinely different. He has shared this gift at expos and events throughout his career, offering readings that leave people with a clarity about themselves they hadn’t expected.

Not a clinical service. Entirely separate from matchmaking membership.
A more intentional process for finding meaningful connection.
I was very hesitant about this, and honestly didn't think it was something I wanted to do. Working with Dale completely changed my perspective. He helped me better understand myself, what I truly wanted in a partner, and why we can sometimes be attracted to people who may not actually be the right match. What amazed me most was how spot on Dale was — even after hearing about my friend's experience, I still couldn't believe how right he was about everything. I'm incredibly grateful for his guidance, and most importantly, grateful that I found my partner.
I’m in a deeply committed relationship, engaged and preparing for a wedding — I couldn’t be happier. Life is full of joy and adventure with a partner that is just right for me. I can say with certainty that I would not have met my partner without Dale’s help. Before working with Dale, I had hired or used a variety of dating services — from Match and Bumble to expensive high-end ones like The League, Tawkify and VIDA with virtually no results. I had professional photos taken, had re-worked my online profile a dozen times and went on too many first dates to count. A friend suggested Dale and we met by phone. I was instantly fascinated by his intuitive understanding of me, my past relationship pros & cons, and his insight into what might be a better fit moving forward. As we continued to work together, Dale helped me understand myself better, what a good partner fit looks like, and how to identify that in a potential date/partner. The insight and feedback was spot on every time. Eventually I met my current partner and called Dale to discuss. At first glance, my future husband was not “my type” — but that was the whole point — “my type” had ended in divorce and I had been repeating the pattern. Dale assessed a good fit and I went into the early dating period with open eyes and interest to see if this might be a new way forward. Well, it is and has been! I really needed the help to find the right “type” and not the one I had been gravitating towards in the past. Dale — thank you, thank you, thank you! It goes without saying that I have recommended Dale many times to my girlfriends, especially the ones who appear to be picking the same pattern of men as their broken marriage or the ones who have been single for so long they think there is no option for them out there. There is — you just need a guide who can help you identify your needs and what to look for in a good match.
Individual results vary. Testimonials do not guarantee similar outcomes.
We created Modern Day Matchmaking because too many great people were being failed by modern dating. Our process looks deeper than preferences, to how people truly connect, what they genuinely need, and whether they're ready to build something real.
