Welcome to Options, a national gay and lesbian matchmaking service. Since 1994, we have successfully provided a more dignified alternative approach for those seeking quality relationships. You won't have to spend hours going through an impersonal video library to make a selection only to face possible rejection. We are NOT an on-line service where you may end up chatting for many wasted hours only to discover that the person on the other end is married. And we do not hold functions that are equivalent to an organized bar scene. Instead we are a sophisticated, time-proven service with a staff of matchmakers that do all the legwork and make one on one introductions of substance.

"Out of all the gay and lesbian dating services we looked into, OPTIONS received the most praise, even from its competitors." -L.A. WEEKLY

Once we have identified you as a potential Options member, a private consultation is scheduled at one of our local office (see locations on JOIN page). All applicants are personally interviewed and screened before being accepted into the membership. A thorough profile is then developed for every member and matches are based on both compatibility and physical qualities. All of our members share an ultimate goal, long-term relationships.

"Due to your persistence, you've matched me with my soul mate." -Rick 35/ Attorney, Rockville, MD

"We have had over 30 dates and several small vacations together. Life is wonderful at this time."-Jordan 44/ V.P., New York, NY

"Over the past few years I had become cynical. Over the past couple of months since I met Adam I have felt my heart melt... he is the romantic heart I have been searching for... I can see why I have worked a year and a half with Options and maybe why I have waited 41 years." -Sam 41/Psychologist, Washington, DC
