Online dating looks a lot like marketing.
You're a product, the dating site is the market, your responses are your market share, and the list continues:

• Posting your personal profile - that's ADVERTISING
• The messages you send to other members of your dating site -That's EMAIL MARKETING
• Sending Instant Messages and chatting with other members--that's TELEMARKETING
• Using social networking --that's PUBLIC RELATIONS- having other people giving you credit
• Having a personal blog instead of a public profile on a dating site--that's HARD SELLING
• Using matching technologies-that's TARGETING
• Making your profile public- that's your INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Hope you have fun with this marketing take on dating. At least as much fun as I had writing it.Although you shouldn't take it too seriously, it is, too one of the ways online dating can be looked at.
