Any network can be used as a dating site if one has balls to do it. Though I prefer in person meets. I never use dating apps nor would I use nostr to do so.
Besides the whole happening in public on social media, I mean you can assume you may have something in common, and get a chance to interact with them, so if they happen to be local what's the worst that could happen. No reason to shut the door on opportunity.
So many people have said this, and I think it could be a great idea… but like a lot of Nostr things I really think it will not work so great at first and people would have to be really patient with it. On top of the standard Nostr β€œdevs are working on this for free” need for patience, our population is still so low right now (even lower when you weed out married / uninterested people) I doubt there would be many successful matches for a while.

My husband and I met through a Christian singles facebook group. We got to know enough about each other through comments on posts that he DMd me and asked for a Skype coffee date, as I was 8 times zones away in a different country at the time. I don't see why Nostr can't be used in a similar way. We all have bio's. Mine says wife, but how about all the singles who are open to Nostr dates put that there? Though the relays messing with DMs might be an issue, so it might need to be on a public post too, to make sure the message gets through. The one sided blocking/mute might cause an issue, if someone's previously been blocked. A Nostr singles meetup might be another option πŸ€” Being married is the best, so people finding someone who fits them really well is something I wish for everyone!!!

I totally understand and it’s definitely low on the priority list. Perhaps I’m just an optimist about everything, but maybe the smaller pool would increase the quality LOL
Yeah lol and most are anon. That and I think young single women probably have quite a time with unwanted attention, well and pure garbage.
