The Intentional
Join our vetted community to access member events, networking, and consideration for future introductions.
For the woman who wants to be part of a thoughtful community and stay open to the possibility of a meaningful connection.
By application only
For women who have everything, except the right woman.
Private matchmaking for accomplished women seeking meaningful relationships with exceptional women.
The problem
Dating apps weren't built for women like you.
Endless profiles. Unclear intentions. Too much noise. RL was created for women who want something more intentional.
Quality over quantity
Intentional introductions instead of endless profiles.
Vetted women
A curated network focused on quality, compatibility and authenticity.
Intentional matches
Introductions based on values, lifestyle, relationship goals and compatibility, not just attraction.
The RL Standard
Not everyone belongs in the pool.
RL is intentionally selective. Every applicant is evaluated on the qualities that actually hold a relationship together — not on photographs, follower counts or how quickly she replies.
Intentionality
She knows what she wants and is willing to be direct about it.
Lifestyle compatibility
How she spends her time, her ambition, her travel, her sense of home.
Emotional maturity
She can hold a real conversation about what happened and what she learned.
Values
What she protects, what she refuses, what she builds toward.
Authenticity
The woman on the application is the woman at dinner.
Relationship readiness
Available in practice, not only in theory.

Every woman arrives at RL with a different vision for what she is ready for.
The Selective
Focused, high-touch matchmaking with 3-6 curated introductions over a selected 3 or 6 month time frame.
For the woman who is serious about finding a highly compatible partner and wants hands-on guidance throughout the process.
The women
The women of RL
Ambitious. Established. Curious. Intentional. RL is for women building interesting lives who want someone equally intentional to share them with.
RL welcomes applicants from around the world. Many women are open to long distance relationships, travel, relocation, or meeting someone whose life is not limited to one city.
The story behind RL
A more thoughtful way to meet.
RL began with a simple observation: accomplished lesbians were looking for meaningful partnership, but many of the spaces available to them felt noisy, impersonal, and disconnected from the lives they had built.
Inspired by a growing TikTok conversation and shaped by a career centered on people, trust, and connection, Taylor Franklin created RL for women who want more intention, more care, and far less noise.
Testimonials
Words from women in the RL community
A different kind of dating experience creates a different kind of conversation.
Thanks to Taylor, my partner and I met 2 1/2 years ago and have been going strong ever since! She introduced us at a bar, made us both feel very comfortable, and we were able to really connect that night. She knew our personalities well and introduced us to the rest of our lives! Thank you Taylor, highly recommend her services.
