What is Vetted?

Vetted is a small, invite-quality dating community for people who are done with swipe fatigue. Every member takes 90 seconds to discover how they show up in relationships before they appear in browse, so the people you meet have actually done the work to show up well — not just uploaded a good photo.

Instead of endless DMs, you request a thoughtful introduction. Each request is thoughtfully reviewed to help ensure mutual goals and a respectful experience.

A note from the founder
Christian Maciel, PhD, LMFT

Hi — I'm Christian. I built Vetted because I believe intentional people deserve a better way to meet each other. For over 20 years as a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I've sat with couples untangling patterns that started the day they met — and with singles worn down by apps that reward the loudest photo and the fastest thumb.

Vetted is small on purpose. Every member completes a readiness assessment I designed using the same frameworks I use in my practice, so the people you meet have actually done the work to show up well. If that sounds like you, take the quiz — then reply to any email you get from us. A real person reads every one.
