I propose a paid service with a human operator who suggests matches and sends people on appropriate dates. You get one match, go on the date and report back how it went, and get a new match based on both of your feedback. "That person was a little crazy" -> get someone more boring next time.
The date you get sent on is engaging and topical: a dance class or a tennis class or a guided tour in a museum, something that's engaging in the right way and avoids restaurant first date awkwardness.
- robjan 7y agoWe've gone full circle and reinvented the dating agency. If technology fulfils its original promises we would ideally be in a world where people didn't have "too little free time to meet people" and relationships would happen organically again.
- SenorSourdough 7y agoIs the problem that we have too little time to meet people? It strikes me that the problems are more related to increased isolation/individualism, increased distraction, degradation of real-world communities, and increased fear of making unwanted/unexpected advances. People who have free time just aren't choosing to use it in ways that encourage the creation of organic relationships.
- nkrisc 7y agoThere are service that do this, but I don't imagine they're inexpensive.
- mattrp 7y agoThis exists and if you thought dealing with recruiters and job interviews was bad wait until you try a matchmaker. We paid for a friend to use one and I think she would have rather gone to a bar - at least there you know why you struck out.
