🚨 Big News — We’re Passing the Baton
(and it’s in good hands!)
After a decade of helping incredible singles find love, Date Smarter Matchmaking is officially entering a new chapter. We’re thrilled to share that the matchmaking side of our business is being acquired by none other than Match by Julia, led by my trusted colleague and powerhouse matchmaker, Julia Bendis.
Julia and I have collaborated behind the scenes for years, and I couldn’t be more confident in her heart, her hustle, and her ability to care for this amazing community. She brings years of experience, a warm and honest approach, and a robust network of serious singles — so whether you’re new here or have been in our circle for a while, you’re in excellent hands.
What This Means for You:
We’re currently in transition mode, so you might see some outdated info lingering on the website. Don’t worry — we’re working on it! In the meantime:
If you’re a current matchmaking client, you’ll continue to be supported per your existing contract. You may be introduced to Julia to keep the matchmaking momentum going, and you’ll still be considered for matches through this collaboration.
If you were part of our free database, we’re keeping your profile on file for the next 6 months. However, Julia now runs a paid database model, so to be considered for active matchmaking, you’ll want to complete her intake form.
If you’re subscribed to our newsletter, nothing’s changing for you just yet! You’ll continue receiving updates, dating advice, and the latest on my coaching offers and podcast episodes.
What’s Next for Date Smarter?
I’m shifting my focus toward coaching, communication workshops, and my podcast Date Smarter. Sexier. If you’re ready to level up your dating life, build healthier relationships, or master communication — that’s where I’ll be hanging out. And yes, I’m still accepting coaching clients!
🙏 Thank You
Your trust, your stories, and your willingness to be vulnerable through this journey have meant everything to me. This isn’t goodbye — it’s just a beautiful new beginning. And I’m so excited for what’s ahead for all of us.

FAQs for Matchmaking Transition
-
If you've completed your services with Date Smarter Matchmaking, you will now be eligible to work with Julia. Julia charges a fee to be in her matchmaking database, but she has graciously offered to keep Andrea's former free database members on file for 6 months. If you’d like to continue being considered for matches, we strongly recommend joining Julia’s paid database to increase your chances.
-
If you're a current matchmaking client under contract, don’t worry — your services are still active and will continue without interruption. Andrea will continue honoring your existing agreement and actively working on your behalf during the transition.
As an added bonus, you may also be introduced to Julia so she can get to know you personally and support your match search. That means you’ll have both Andrea and Julia working together to find your ideal match — combining years of experience, double the insight, and access to a wider network.
This collaboration is designed to give you even more value during this exciting transition. You’ll be hearing from us soon with your next steps!
-
Yes, if you were part of Andrea’s database or a completed client, your information will be transferred to Match by Julia. However, in order to provide the most accurate and personalized matchmaking experience, Julia may ask you to update your profile information or complete a new intake form.
This ensures your preferences, lifestyle, and relationship goals are current — and gives Julia a chance to get to know you a bit better. Keep an eye on your inbox for next steps and instructions!
-
The free database will no longer be used for active matchmaking services after the transition. If you wish to stay in consideration, you’ll need to upgrade to Julia’s paid database at $500/year or opt into her one-time lifetime listing option.
-
Yes! While Andrea is no longer matchmaking, she is continuing to offer coaching and consulting. If you’re navigating dating, relationships, or communication challenges, she’s still available for private coaching. You can book with her here.
