I've always wanted dating sites to add features that had more behavioral annotations about users. I'd like to not get a high match score with people who don't even bother to read their messages, for example. Or who read their messages but don't bother to click on the person's profile. Or who do both and never respond. I'd like it to ask why you unmatched with someone and have options like "couldn't hold a conversation" or "too flirty too fast" or "wtf dick pics" and then use that data to boost people who aren't the examples of what everyone complains about on dating sites. In other words, I'd like to have some data-driven reputational info about people used in the matching.
And yeah, I agree with your final sentiment as well: dating sites should be more like people-meeting sites, but with a romantic focus. Aim for casual meetups that aren't dates but might lead to dates. Maybe collect small groups of people that might be compatible and send them out for drinks and then have them do some basic surveys about the people they met for future filtering purposes (again with the reputational concept).
