Can’t get a date? Meet Matt Titus, New York’s premiere professional relationship expert and dating coach, whose specialty is helping both single women and gay men find their Mr. Right. In the new Lifetime Original Reality series, “Matched in Manhattan,” viewers follow the lives of Matt’s clients as he puts them through the paces of dating boot camp and relationship rehab.

“Matched in Manhattan” follows Matt and his business partners—including his wife Tamsen Fadal and associate Eddie Varley—as they use a realistic approach in their attempt to expertly pair their single clients who are unable to find a mate on their own. Matt hits the streets and cafés of New York City—with clients in tow—to show them what it takes to snag the man of their dreams. With clientele that runs the gamut from dating novice to serial dater, Matt and his team have a stable of men and women in their files ready to find a man.

In the premiere episode, Selene, a 30-year-old New York City transplant from Tennessee, is looking for love in Manhattan, but feels like a fish out of water. With Matt at her side, he takes her on a guided city tour and shows her the secret spots to meeting quality men. Drawing from his past years of bachelorhood, he also gives her instructive insight on appropriate behavior for the first date and beyond. But coaching Selene is only half of the job . . . acting as a dating emissary, he must then go through his extensive rolodex, and with the help of Tamsen and Eddie, selecting the most appropriate match for Selene. Will his matchmaking skills work? “Matched in Manhattan” gives viewers a birds-eye view of Selene’s big date to see if Matt’s hard work and expertise pays off!
