Dating Companion

Bring humanness back into dating. Dating Companion helps you make sense of your dating life through relationship science, thoughtful reflection, and a deeper understanding of yourself. Explore the patterns, traits, preferences, and experiences that may shape why you do what you do—from who you’re drawn to, to how you connect, to what you need in a relationship. Turn that understanding into goals you choose. RELATIONSHIP SCIENCE, MADE PERSONAL Answer thoughtful questionnaires informed by relationship science. Explore your values, preferences, and dating experiences, and consider how they show up in your everyday choices. UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERNS Discover insights based on what you share. Reflect on what feels familiar, what surprises you, and what doesn’t quite fit. Your perspective is part of the process. REFLECT ON YOUR CONNECTIONS Use Dating Chronicles to reflect before and after dates. Check in about a connection and look back at your experiences over time. SET YOUR OWN DIRECTION Create personal goals and revisit them through check-ins. Choose what you want to try, change, or keep doing, based on what matters to you. HUMAN EXPERIENCE. NO AI. Dating Companion does not use AI to generate advice or interpret your responses. Your responses are never fed into AI systems. The focus is on relationship science and your own capacity to understand, reflect, and grow. GO AT YOUR PACE Skip optional questions and stop or resume connection check-ins whenever you choose. Make space for curiosity, clarity, and a dating life that feels more like you. Dating Companion is operated by Dr. Rachel Vanderbilt and is intended for adults ages 18 and older.
