A good idea for a dating app for once! It sounds like this is different from the apps that use existing friend circles that you make matches from?

You're awarding prizes for top matchmaker every day? I think people will be motivated enough by the leaderboard.

    Thanks for the feedback! We are awarding prizes for the top matchmakers. Hoping that the leaderboard and fun factor will be enough motivation, but we thought it would be awesome if we could find a way to contribute to our users' dating life offline as well!

An email signup can't be a Show HN. Please read the rules:

How are you going to get the critical mass that makes a dating site worth using? Thats your number one problem and you need to solve that before thinking up things like matching.

    You hit the nail on the head. Right now our approach is focusing on a very small number of geos where we can pound the pavement and do some guerrilla marketing to get that critical mass for that specific region. As we grow we'll be expanding to more markets with the same approach.

Love the idea of having users play matchmaker.
