Dating site

participants create profiles, not unlike current sites, but the pprofiles are little hompeages, not unlike friendster. The service would provide the user or aprticipant with 'business cards' they could then hand out say in a chance meeting or a situation that may otherwise wind up on craigslist's missed conenctions.

The scenario:
May be someone on a subway, 'making eyes' or perhaps you just see someone beautiful and you approach them and with very little small talk you hand them a card. The card has your website on it and the whole thing is clearly a pick up. You promptly can leave the situation and wait for any feedback. Otherwise there's not much lost.

This takes the dating websites toa new level of physical connection, you get a chance to physically see your suitor, or interst and can then take it form there... you read their profile and decide to give it a whirl or not.

Yes, the draw back is that you have to physically approach someone, but it is not small talk it's simply a 'Hi, I thnk you're cute as hell and would liek to set something up without putting oyuon the spot right now' the person receiving the card can promptly toss it, save it, and respond however they choose. But it moves beyond the pick up line, or the crappy weird small talk can I get your number kinda of discussion.

It's not a business card which leads one to a concolusion about what you do or give no more info than the physical meeting.

A user would open a profile on the dating service not unlike match.com and then they would receive cards with the url for your profile and then they can distribute at will. This would work in bars, in subways, in the streets, giving you a possible better chance to make a simple but great first impression, and an even better second impression.

DON'T FUCKING STEAL THIS IDEA OR I"LL SUE YOU!
