This should not be [dead]: CJM13 11 minutes ago Thanks a lot, certainly more helpful than a best of luck wish. 1) What we're doing really isn't any different at all than people just going to events with friends and then meeting potential friends to date. We want to replicate the way dating works in the real world online. So we are providing an online platform to generate more of these interactions. There is certainly the recognition that people are looking for dates so that changes things a bit. 2)Users will be able to search for dates for themselves or set their friends up on dates as a matchmaker. We're coming up with ways to incentivize the matchmakers but for the meantime are hoping users will find the experience of matchmaking fun. There is concern that the matchmaker will be put in an awkward situation if the date does not go well for their friend, but that really isn't any different than setting someone up offline. 3)There is no cost to businesses to use TLF. We help businesses solve the "butts in seats" problem so they are happy to work with us to arrange a deal that allows us to have users prepay for their dates. 4)We are starting with singles events. 5)We completely agree. Our focus is on the offline interaction between users. Our site will only serve as a means for quickly setting up a shared experience offline. We are actively looking for a woman to bring on board! When developing the concept we gathered feedback from as many of our girlfriends as we could. P.S. Although we may be two college guys who read HN we'd like to think we have a decent understanding of the fairer sex. Thanks again!
