A Chicago based company, Datebillboard.com, offers singles a fresh and proactive way to meet friends and dates through the posting of real dates and activities online. It makes online dating more productive by taking it a step further than just posting a profile and photos.
Members can post their own creative dates such as skydiving dates or stick with old standbys such as dinner dates and movie dates. The website helps singles find others who share their hobbies and passions. It also gives them an opportunity to participate in new activities they wouldn’t ordinarily try, and in the process meet people they wouldn’t otherwise meet.
Members can also see what other singles in their area are doing on any particular day or time. On any given day, there could be singles in their area who want to go to a concert or a baseball game, play tennis or golf, or even meet at the park with their dogs.
Event-driven dating sites are becoming more popular as people look to connect through more meaningful matching options than personality type and favorite football team. Heyletsgo launched in Boston recently, and other sites continue to spring up all the time. It’s like having MatchEvents without all of the cost and overhead. Pick and event, see who’s going, and send them a message. Simple and even if the other person is a complete dud, you’ve still seen a movie, concert, lecture or game night.
