About Once

We're Albert and Kerry. We started Once by hosting dating events in New York, and hundreds of people turned out.

People are tired of online dating, and first dates are awkward for everyone. So we started coaching: you book a session, it includes a real first date with one of our coaches, and she tells us what she noticed. Then we tell you.

Finding your person is the single most important decision you make in your life.

We're honored to be part of your journey.
