I recommend that if you charge, use paypal and make it cheap like £30 for a year.
Sign up to Plenty Of Fish and try to mirror that site. The site doesn't seem that bad
I almost managed to find someone who is almost compatible for me from that site.
If I wasn't so busy I surely would have had more dates from that site. |

| I think FWB relationships are perfect for Aspies, maybe something to cater for that? |

Maybe tie that into the option idea starkid suggested? Give every opportunity for the users to be flat out honest without penalty. |

Wow, thanks for all the replies. I didn't expect to get so many 
There have been some really good points. I really like the idea of selling the positive sides of being in a relationship with someone with an ASD and then marketing to NTs also. I will definitely include friendship only/penpal options.
I will check out the sites listed - Aspie dating, geek 2 geek and plenty of fish and try and see how they could be improved.
I haven't thought of a name yet. I want something that won't put NTs off.
My idea was to have it as less of a site where you just search through loads of photos and profiles and more of a site where you sign up and I would have a chat with you on skype to get to know what you were like and what you were looking for. Then I would make up a profile for you and check you were happy with it. Then I would only show your profile to someone if I thought you were a good match. I think it's more confidential that way and should stop trolls getting through. I know lots of dating sites that operate in this way and I like the personal touch. What do you think?
I also had the idea to include a dating advice section. |
