The trick is to be around people to get more dates


Monday, January 7th, 2013

I came upon a single friend recently and he said to me that a recent change in his work has got him away from his desk job and into a new role where he is going out to meetings. He also said that he was really surprised by the number of people he was meeting and was enjoying the many people that he met through these meeting. In addition he said with a smirk on his face, that he also came across many single women. Meeting new people had struck a new chord with him and he genuinely seemed to enjoy his new role and as a result he also felt that his chances of finding that elusive partner had increased significantly.

It occurred to me that many people have various jobs that entails much or little contact with other people. If you did a statistical calculation of which kind of folks get many dates, I bet it would be the group who invite more new people into their lives through their jobs, hobbies etc. It then occurred to me that going out to events simply to find dates is in fact the wrong thing to do. The best possible way to get dates is to get yourself in front of new people whenever the opportunity arises. I took my friends information to heart and realized he was absolutely right.

There is a popular website called meetup.com that has groups on every kind of interest that you can think of. As I was interested in entrepreneurship and technology, a simple search in my local area where I lived churned out 30 or so meetings happening in the next week. I then joined and rsvp to some of these upcoming meetings. After having attended a few of these meetings, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of single people I had met in the events. I am pretty certain that just by attending these events or any events that hosts people, you will very likely find people who are also single. Remember this is very different to having an agenda of going out to find a single partner. These events are much more natural and approaching people is far easier than in single events where there is an agenda on the plate.

My advice to single folks out there…do not go to single events designed to hookup singles but go to events that interests you. In this way you are much more likely to approach other folks without an agenda and you are far more likely to come across many singles that will be to your own liking.

Free Dating Sites – Some tips for would-be Entrepreneurs


Thursday, March 8th, 2012

The online dating industry is booming and last year 2011 we saw a proliferation of new online dating sites coming into the market including many free dating sites. This year (2012) there appears to be a lull in the sector of new online dating websites coming into the market. I mainly put this down to the ‘fever’ that takes hold when venture capital firms and pundits drum up interest in this area, so much so that would-be entrepreneurs arrive in droves. Part of the reason for the big hike in 2011 was essentially due to the bigger online dating companies such as match.com posting their strongest growth ever along with a few mergers and acquisitions.

Free Dating Sites – Some tips for would-be Entrepreneurs


It is a sad state of affairs that many new entrepreneurs that are drawn into this market do so with little knowledge of this market. They create new free dating sites that target niche markets such as group dating, geek gadgets dating and even pet dating but unfortunately a majority of them all fall on the wayside. One has to think outside the box rather than follow the current way of thinking. For example, the biggest player in the paid subscription model match.com has remained unchanged since its inception over a decade ago. Similarly the biggest player in the free dating sites model, plentyoffish also remains true to its original form many years ago.

The danger of doing something new and radical has its risks but also has its rewards. One of the biggest component of the business model that many entrepreneurs fail to appreciate is the critical mass that is required in terms of a user base in order to have sustained growth. For some lucky start-ups, the free dating sites are backed by venture capitalists and even then it will take a very focused and concerted effort to hit critical mass. Like many start-ups we have seen in the early days of the internet boon, money can be spent rapidly on a start-up and income is usually based on speculative and often wild forecasts.

Fortunately, the business of online dating has settled into a less speculative model and more of a realistic model but there is still plenty of room to innovate and come up with the next killer application.

GroupeeLove.com Takes a Unique Approach to Online Dating with Free Dating Website - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato


Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

Article Subject: GroupeeLove.com Takes a Unique Approach to Online Dating with Free Dating Website

Article Link: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2011/02/15/prweb5067804.DTL

Article Rating: 3.5 (out of 5)

Website: GroupeeLove.com

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

This website is worth exploring as this article indicates and we will be conducting a review of this site shortly, so keep watching our section on Free Dating Site Reviews.

The concept behind GroupeeLove seems to address the growing proliferation of niche market sites such as dating sites that appeal to music lovers, cats and even gadgets. A review of those sites can be found in our section on Startup Online Dating Sites.

The way the site works is that it empowers users to create their own group and is best explained by an example. Lets say you lived in New York and you loved cats, you could create a group called ‘Must Love Cats, NYC’ and advertise this group on the site to draw attention from people with the same interest. In this way you can have all kinds of groups which people will be drawn to and have some common ground of conversation and possibly develop a relationship.

Although the idea is novel, time will tell if it has a wider appeal.

Group Dating Startup Ignighter Raises $3 Million - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato


Sunday, February 13th, 2011

Article Subject: Group Dating Startup Ignighter Raises $3 Million

Article Link: http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/10/group-dating-startup-ignighter-raises-3-million/

Article Rating: 3.5 (out of 5)

Website: ignighter.com

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

I enjoy reading the users comments from postings made on the techcrunch website. This article which talks about ignighter.com gets no short of comments from the users.

The main issue that users had with this article was that the traffic statistics claimed by the site ignighter.com was way out of line with the traffic stats. pulled from reputable sources. If you visited their site, you will clearly see a labeling that boasts ‘#1 visited group dating site in the world’. This has been cleverly ’sculpted’ with the word ‘group’ in that sentence which I would assume most users will likely ignore.
