Dr. Sarah Kyle, founder of Get Dateable

I’m Dr. Sarah Kyle, therapist and founder of Get Dateable.

I’ve spent over 25 years as a therapist helping people build better relationships, but let’s be real—dating can be brutal. I’ve worked with so many smart, successful women who have everything together except their love life. The apps? A necessary evil. The ghosting? Infuriating. The whole process? Straight-up exhausting.
I get it—because I’ve seen it all—both as a therapist and as someone who’s had to navigate queer dating myself.

I came out at 29, which in lesbian years felt practically ancient. I did the casual dating thing, had a couple of long(ish)-term relationships, and I’ve been with my current partner for over a decade and a half. So yes, I’ve experienced the highs, the lows, and the “why did she just text me ‘hey’ six months later?” confusion. And through it all, one thing has become clear: there’s a better way to do this.

That’s why I started Get Dateable—to help women break out of frustrating patterns and actually enjoy dating again. The key? Small, powerful shifts that change the game—without the stress, the overthinking, or the emotional rollercoaster. Whether you’re sick of the apps, trapped in the same dating cycles, or just trying to figure out what actually makes someone dateable, I’ve got you.

And I'm Rachel Howell, M.Ed., Get Dateable business partner and researcher extraordinaire.

I bring over 30 years of research and training experience to Get Dateable, but what really fuels me is my deep curiosity about human relationships—especially the wonderfully complex world of women-loving-women.

Proudly a lesbian since 10th grade, I’ve lived just about every phase of queer dating: the U-Haul era, the married years, and now, the dating-again adventure. Let’s just say, I’ve got stories.

Through all the twists and turns, one thing has stayed the same: my passion for understanding what makes relationships work (and what makes them hilariously complicated). Alongside Sarah, I bring a mix of real-life experiences, research-backed insights, and a love of laughing through the chaos of dating women.

Whether it’s sharing my own lessons learned or breaking down modern dating dynamics, I show up with authenticity, humor, and a genuine desire to help women navigate love and connection with more confidence—and a lot less stress.

What women are saying...

Previews of the Dateable AF Podcast are so smart and funny! I've already learned a lot and I can't wait for the next episodes to come out. Our community has been needing something like Get Dateable and the Dateable AF Podcast for a long time! Rachel and Sarah are perfect for this role.

I love the whole concept of “Get Dateable,” but I am especially impressed with the “dateability” assessment Dr. Kyle created. It’s a comprehensive tool to evaluate an individual’s overall health and well-being, efficiently zeroing in on areas that may be holding someone back from the successful relationship they desire. Her model is going to save people a tremendous amount of time, money and general anguish when it comes to dating.

I’ve been very successful in every area of my life except romantic relationships. It's so hard to find quality women, and the apps just aren't getting it right. I love what Get Dateable is envisioning for our community and I can't wait to see where it goes! The Dateability Assessment is such a great tool and I really want to meet other women who are putting this knowledge into practice.
