Who is the founder of Dating by Blaine?
Blaine grew up as an only child in Tucson, Arizona, where her love for animals was nurtured. She was involved in sports and activities from an early age and was also a part of soccer and swim teams before finally joining Tucson’s first girl’s lacrosse team in high school.
Blaine's career initially revolved around the travel sector, orchestrating lavish trips to exotic destinations. However, the motto shifted dramatically with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving her unemployed and prompting a reevaluation of her career path.
Blaine’s decision to become a dating coach was not an easy one. Initially, she examined other options, such as enrolling in tech sales and design programs, but the prospect of a desk job seemed unpleasant. The watershed moment occurred during a discussion with her now-husband about a successful online course firm.
This conversation helped her see the untapped potential of providing relationship advice on a larger, digital scale. She had been counseling her male friends on dating since her college years at the University of Arizona, and now she had the opportunity to commercialize her informal knowledge.
Blaine began professional relationship counseling in 2020, motivated by a profound desire to tackle the loneliness pandemic among males in the United States.
After residing in California for a period, Blaine eventually found her home in Austin with her husband in 2020, following a move from San Francisco. Her love for animals is evident through her pets - Dee Dee, a loyal canine companion, and Cedar, a one-eyed feline friend.
Blaine's passion for life is reflected in her diverse recreational pursuits, from riding the sun-kissed waves through surfing, a popular California hobby, to finding peace in yoga and embracing the thrill of hiking.
Blaine’s professional experience began in the travel sector, where she spent two years traveling worldwide before channeling her enthusiasm into her entrepreneurial ventures. Her clients’ success fuels her, and she finds incredible satisfaction in their accomplishments.
Blaine’s academic interests led her to the Universidad de Belgrano in 2011, where she studied Latin American Studies and Spanish, and then to the University of Arizona, where she got a Bachelor of Arts in Latin American Studies, Business Administration, and Management.
Blaine made significant achievements in her previous careers as a Retail Sales Representative for Levi Strauss & Co and then as a Travel Designer for Absolute Travel in New York City. When she launched Dating by Blaine in July 2020, her business spirit took off.
What is the cost, and how do you buy Dating by Blaine’s services?
The course is priced at $1249 and spans over 5 weeks, with 5-hour sessions each week. It provides comprehensive guidance, teaching men the specific messaging strategies to transition from a match to a meaningful relationship.
The course covers essential aspects such as creating a top-tier profile, securing high-quality matches on dating apps, building confidence, effectively presenting oneself, and attracting women. Additionally, participants benefit from one-on-one consultations with Blaine as part of the training package.
Interested clients can access Blaine's services directly through her official website. Several satisfied clients have left positive testimonials about their experiences. One client expressed, “My partner and I have been together for a little over 6 months now. Our chemistry has gotten so much stronger. Thank you, Blaine, for your guidance; I hope your awesome business continues far into the future!”
Another shared, “Dating is no longer nerve-wracking. It was purely based on Blaine’s advice that my dating life has improved. Now I don’t feel awkward when I talk to someone.”
One person added, “Blaine completely changed the game for me. When I took her advice, I started to get instant results and wound up in a relationship with a really cool woman.”
Where is Dating by Blaine now?
More than 95% of her clients say they would refer her services to a friend, showing the effectiveness of her programs. Blaine expands her reach with free advice on social media sites such as YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.
While dating may not be a subject taught in schools, Blaine has found a method to fill this need. Dating by Blaine tackles the various issues men encounter in the dating arena today through a range of customized programs. She has helped over 2,500 men alter their love lives with her smart methods of self-esteem, flirting, and forming lasting connections.
Men are embracing Blaine, who had $22,000 in sales in 2020. In 2021, she made $491,000; in 2022, she made slightly more than $1 million.
Who will steal the deal?
Blaine will address a group of five Sharks about the company and its growth prospects. She has to convince Mark, Kevin, Lori, Barbara, and Guest Shark Michael, who is making his debut, that her company deserves a Shark investment. She also needs to impress the Sharks with a strong business plan, solid financials, and impressive sales figures while demonstrating that her team can manage the company to 'Sharks standards.'"
Lori or Barbara could dip their toes in this dating pool.
