As a married person, this does conceptually make sense. It's much better to date a friend of a friend than a stranger in a bar. I suspect that there are secrets in the network that could suggest likely candidates. (Just like people with weak links to you but strong links outside your existing network can help with job intros, they can also help with dating connections.) When I was single, I just remember thinking, "There are so many folks online that I would never consider dating." Something like this could have narrowed the search down. Ultimately I married a classmate that was a friend of a friend. Good luck with this!
