DuoDater is a new dating website designed to make romantic online encounters less awkward and more fun. The site is built around double dating, requiring each user to have a person of the same or opposite sex create a profile to complete their duo. Members browse through the profiles of users on the site searching for matches for both themselves and for the other member of their duo.
Once a possible winning duo is found, they can be contacted and a date is set up. The idea behind the site is that everything in life is more fun when shared with a friend, Internet dating included. I am not a fan of online dating myself, but I find DuoDater intriguing nonetheless. Only time will tell to see if DuoDater takes off, as there are a lot of shy guys and girls looking for love out there.
