Welcome to Modern Dating Solutions

You Deserve More Than

Another Swipe

The right relationship doesn’t happen by accident – it happens by design. MoDS is your first stop for the community, resources, and expert guidance that turn dating from exhausting into genuinely exciting.

“The right person isn’t hiding – they’re simply waiting to be found in the right environment, by the right approach, with the right community behind them.”

What Is MoDS?

Everything You Need to Find Love - Finally in One Place

Most singles are doing it alone – bouncing between apps, half-hearted meetups, and advice from friends who are just as lost. Modern Dating Solutions exists to change that. Think of us as your personal headquarters for all things dating and relationships: vetted communities, trusted coaches, real events, and the kind of knowledge that actually moves the needle.

We don’t just point you toward resources – we curate them. Every community, tool, and experience inside MoDS has been selected because it genuinely serves people who are serious about finding love. You’ll gain clarity on what you want, confidence in how you show up, and a social circle full of people who are on the same mission.

Whether you’re just beginning to put yourself back out there or you’ve been at this for years and know something has to change – you’re in exactly the right place. And you won’t have to figure it out alone.

Social Circles

The Smartest Way to
Expand Your World

Think about the best relationships in your life – most of them grew out of a shared environment, repeated contact, and natural chemistry over time. Social Circles recreate exactly that. Intimate groups of 6 to 20 carefully matched singles, designed not to force a connection, but to give one every possible chance to grow.

Triangle Social Circle

Live and love local. This circle brings together eligible singles from across Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill for experiences that feel nothing like a first date - and everything like a great Saturday.

Christian Social Circle

When your faith shapes everything - your values, your vision for family, your non-negotiables - it matters deeply that the people you meet share that foundation. This circle was built for exactly that.

Black Professionals Circle

Accomplished, intentional, and done settling. This circle is for Black professionals who want a partner who matches their energy - someone who understands the journey and is building something real.

Raleigh Social Circle

Smaller. More personal. Raleigh-focused. These gatherings feel less like an event and more like being invited into a great group of friends - one of whom might just change your life.

Triangle Professionals

You've invested in your career. Now invest in your personal life with the same intentionality. This circle connects driven, growth-minded singles who want a relationship as strong as their résumé.

Your Circle Is Coming

New circles launch as the community grows. Don't see yours? Tell us - your input shapes what we build next.

Built by Someone Who's Done This for Real

For close to a decade, Valdon has worked as a professional matchmaker – and he’ll tell you without hesitation that helping two people find each other is one of the most profound things you can do with your time. He’s seen lives change. He’s watched people who had nearly given up find the partner they’d been waiting for.

But professional matchmaking is intensive, deeply personal work. There are only so many clients one person can serve well. The waitlist grows. And the people waiting – people who are ready, serious, and deserving – needed something now. Modern Dating Solutions is the answer to that problem.

MoDS is how Valdon’s decade of expertise reaches beyond his client list. Every resource on this platform, every event, every curated circle reflects the same philosophy that drives his matchmaking practice: no gimmicks, no algorithms, no shortcuts. Just genuine human connection, built the right way.

If you’re serious about finding love – not just dating, but the real thing – Valdon built this for you.
