    > Looking for dates on there gave me a similar feeling as looking for a house on property sites. Yes, I really want a house and there are houses here. But I am still hating this experience of looking at houses.

I like this final paragraph. You touch upon an important emotional issue. Most people want to believe in the fairy tale stuff of chance meetings, true love, etc. The whole idea of a "marketplace" to find a partner is so off-putting. Yes, it is practical, but it is emotionally unsatisfying.
