In this episode of Finding Alignment, host Megan Romine dives into the world of modern dating with Erica Arrechea, founder of Cinqe Matchmaking, one of the nation’s premier luxury matchmaking firms known for working with elite, high-achieving singles around the world.

Erica pulls back the curtain on what it’s really like to find love at the top tier, where clients outsource nearly every part of their lives except their hearts. With honesty and humor, she explains why many of her clients can get dates, but hire matchmakers to filter for authenticity, alignment, and compatibility in a world full of distractions.

From dating burnout to checklist culture, Megan and Erica unpack the realities of finding love today, including how men and women can self-sabotage, what real chemistry looks like, and why the key to connection is often consistency, not perfection.

Erica shares the behind-the-scenes truths about her 15-year career in matchmaking:

• Why your photos matter more than you think
• How over-texting kills attraction before the first date
• Why momentum and consistency are everything
• How the “grass is greener” mindset keeps people single
• What the most successful daters actually do differently

They also talk about gender dynamics, the balance between feminine and masculine energy, and the fine line between independence and intimacy, especially for driven, successful women navigating high-value dating.

This conversation is candid, grounded, and full of real-life advice from someone who has seen it all. Whether you’re swiping, soul-searching, or simply ready to date with more purpose, this episode will help you find clarity, confidence, and alignment in your love life.

• Tired of dating burnout and ready to reset
• Curious about luxury matchmaking
• Learning to date intentionally (without playing games)
