It probably isn’t the first or only business of the type, though. As mentioned, Timothy Ferriss blogged about it back in 2007.

And there’s a new Canadian company that does the same thing, except that they hire people locally rather than overseas, and they charge per-date rather than per-month:

Rick, you should compete with them, don’t give up! There is plenty of room for growth.

This is th early days, mark my words, the service will be free in the future, underwritten by sponsors in return for marketing info.

System should be fully automated, people are broken when it comes to online dating, the machine borg is much more efficient.

However, the assistants should disclose that they are working on behalf of a 3rd party.

Ultimately, internet dating companies should offer matchmakers (of good repute) memberships in a similar fashion to recruiting sites offering headhunters enhanced access to the likes of Monster.

So a matchmaker should be able to sign up with Match.com, for example, and list their clients profiles. They should be able to receive and send notifications to other members, and those communications should be clearly denoted as coming from a matchmaker on behalf of a client. The matchmaker should pay a premium fee for each client they list.

Why not call it VirtualAssistentFindMeAWife.com

This will end in a world of pain – intentional misrepresentation of a profile is also another word for scamming – there’s no way reputable online dating sites will allow this and they will likely remove any profiles of someone discovered to be using this service.

I agree …what about doing your own engaging conversation and take advantage of serendipitous encounters.
