Friend Hook Up
In this age of the unsolicited dick pic and the stalker-chick-I-swiped-by-accident, in a time when beautiful people are dating evil trash because they think they can’t do better, in a world where busy people are too busy to meet the folks standing next to them in the elevator, I give you the perfect solution:
Yet another dating site.
This is not the classic where you fill out your character’s entire backstory and throw down 150 bucks to meet your soulmate - or a reasonable facsimile thereof. Nor is it the hit-or-hell left-right ultra modern phone app.
Who knows you best? Not you - you think your nose is too big. You think that shirt looks good on you. Who has the most interest in getting you with the right person? Not you - no one has the heart to ask you to be DD, too, and when you don’t want to adult, you just “volunteer” to “babysit”.
Your friends are the cure for the modern dating app - no one’s gonna send a chick who might be your baby sister a dick pic. They’re the easy fix for the classic - they can answer all those questions HONESTLY, and they don’t want your first born son in exchange... unless he’s neater than theirs, then a trade might be... never mind.
So, here’s what you need to build - a basic dating site with the usual 25-50 questions, only from the friend point of view. Include extra questions for friends that even the person described can’t see the answer to (Does this person eat enough garlic to ward off the entire Twilight fandom? Is she secretly hella gay and won’t admit it so we should “accidentally” pick a bi-girl with a gender-obscure name? Has the “love of his life” friend-zoned him and he’s mildly to extremely dumb-bitter about it?) Also a couple screening questions to make sure the friends aren’t lunatics (Are you trying to set your brother-in-law up so your sister can catch him cheating? Does hot=gay?)
Your friends will meet THEIR friends for coffee. They talk. IF they both decide you two might work and there’s no red flags, they set you up.
This would be an ad-based service. However, I’d suggest an option to arrange meet-cutes for a fee if it’s that sort of thing.
