The Deal

Singles can sign up to this online social network of other single men and women for one or three months, with the option of calling on the help and support of a close pal to help out. Customers can sign up and fill out their profile to start looking for love, with a friend able to join in at a later stage, adding comments and details to the information to help in the search. Acting as a virtual wingman, the friend can also recommend potential profile matches they find across the site. Alternatively, the client’s chum can fill out the profile on their behalf, with the single person in question able to look over the content to approve it and comment on it before it is seen by the wider network.
