I think this is a great idea. If I weren't in a relationship and had some friends (or more likely, acquaintances) on Facebook I was interested in, I'd totally do this.

In terms of privacy, I would definitely trust this application not to leak information about my secret crushes. If they did, I don't see how they'd succeed.

If they started charging money would this cross the line into prostitution?

Does any online dating site that charges?

Good question. Most advertise as helping you find a life partner or date, whereas this is blatantly advertising itself as a hookup site. But there are "adult friend" finding sites so this doesnt't really differ.

I guess not.

These sites don't work how they claim to. Many people will just go fishing by putting in tons of names. What's to stop me from putting in all my friends' names? Nothing, and that's exactly what this site wants me to do from a business perspective.

But then you're consenting to a relationship with each of those friends. They're gonna think you really want it. Plus, this app only allows one match at a time.
