Perfectly valid comment, and not hating on us at all. If this were just a random match each week, you'd be completely correct. Dating is definitely a numbers game, and it takes a lot of choices in order to find the right person. But there is a whole lot you can do behind the scenes to improve those odds. We've gone through the research, we've met thousands of members in person and coordinated thousands of dates, and we've learned how to greatly improve the odds when it comes to personal introductions. I'd say a big reason other dating sites don't do this is because the more clicks they get, the more money they make. But we're not in it for clicks.

You could very conceivably set up a new date every night with someone who has gone through some sort of "algorithm" to match up with you. Is your algorithm/method so much better than any other site that you can afford to only send one match per week and hope to achieve the same (or, hopefully, better) results as other sites? When it comes to dating, I don't think success/date matters as much to people as success/time.
