An idea for you: give users the option to send flowers (or anything else, for that matter). When the email is sent to the crush, it might say: "your secret crush would like to send you flowers. please fill in your address" or something. The initiator's credit card it charged if the crush fills in the address. You make money off the flower shop affiliate referral.

Thank you for the idea :) We thought about adding a "store" for when there was a match but I have to admit that we never thought about doing that at the sending !

We definitely have a lot of options to explore !

man some big money was made off this in 2003

could you give some examples? bjonathan could benefit from learning more about the other services (what worked for them, what didn't). I remember back in the day there was a Facebook app that did something like that. Though I'm not sure how well it did because I never used it. Or did I...? (No, I actually didn't :-) )

Thank you, yeah I would definitely have a lot to learn from that !

We thought about doing a Facebook app but ToS seem not very friendly with apps doing anonymous action :)

love to hear that :) Do you remember the name of the website back then?

I actually think he accented on "2003" and not on "big money".

Anyway, I would suggest that you create a facebook application to go with the website, you could get quite a following.

May I use this to flirt with my boyfriend?

Yeah sure! Lot of our users are sending 1 crush, and we are guessing that it's at their loved one .

I was just typing in my girlfriend's email (unbeknownst to her) when I realised this could be a test: will she mention it to me this evening? Intriguing!
