Grace Lee is a dating coach who works with singles — divorced, newly single, or just perpetually swiping — who are ready to stop feeling bad about their love lives and start actually enjoying the process. She came to coaching after her own divorce landed her in New York City as a single mom with no dating experience, where she went on hundreds of dates and eventually found her way into matchmaking before pivoting to coaching.
Her approach is hands-on and practical: she'll help you rewrite your profile, coach your texting game, teach you how to read a match, and sit with you through the awkward, discouraging moments that make most people quit. She's also incorporated AI chat simulations and VR practice dates into her work, giving clients a low-stakes way to build real skills before the real thing.
Grace doesn't promise you'll meet your person — she promises you'll stop dreading the search. Her clients tend to leave with more confidence, cleaner habits, and a genuine sense that dating can actually be fun.

Grace guided me through the process. Everything from writing the profile, helping me pick which pictures to use and most of all, teaching me the best ways to screen and get on a date. She was super responsive, always available by text or a call. When things got rough, she encouraged me. I felt so much better going through this knowing that Grace had my back.”

They get to know you, put your best foot forward with writing a stellar profile, and more importantly get out there meeting people! Being held accountable was particularly helpful for me. The problem went from too few dates to screening all the possible dates! Until I met someone I am still seeing. Thanks again!”

Simple things like picking out profile photos and writing a bio were made easy thanks to her help. She also helped me look for key details on profiles to weed out people through swiping sessions, making it easier for when I was swiping on my own.”

“Grace helped me navigate the complicated world of online dating - from deciphering guy's profiles, opening lines to bypassing boring conversations so that I could really learn about him before going on a date.

If you are tired of swiping and want to narrow your pool work with Grace. She will give you a secret decoder to make the process more efficient. Just a few weeks after working with Grace, after talking to many guys and going on a handful of dates, I met the guy for me. I'm so grateful for her advice and expertise.”

From the moment I met her, I realized how gifted she is and endeavored to introduce her to my clients and friends. Once in her magnetic orbit, one wants more of her guidance and considered suggestions. Grace's decade of experience on matchmaking and dating platforms gives her the ability to assess my experiences wisely and guide my responses smartly without the overlay of taking it too personally, which would otherwise be my downfall. She is generous with her time and always kind in her approach - while still able to be blunt with me when I get whiny or fed up with the process. Finally, there is trust - trust that my personal details are treated confidentially and trust that once Grace picks up the ball, she doesn't drop it or neglect it till it gets to the finish line. I'm a fan, big fan.”

In fact, I had turned off my feelings towards dating long before I deleted these apps. I was suffering from a sort of dating fatigue, but the kind where I wasn't really going on very many dates. When I decided to come back from my very necessary digital-dating detox, I knew if and when I came back, I needed to make changes and start using dating apps in a more healthy way.”
