A new web site launched called Poker-Online-Dating.com has taken the online poker community by storm.

Players can combine their addiction/passion with meeting a suitable date who shares the same interests. You can even play with one another without even touching them!
The site’s aim is to allow players who don’t have time for normal dating procedures to meet other players with similar interests thanks to ‘Cupid’, their online matchmaker and compatibility coordinator on the site.
Membership is free, what you got to lose… apart from your winnings!
I recommend reading Dating Etiquette for Online Poker players before you start.

20 year old Brandon Fletcher just got himself the deal of a lifetime with YouTube. He approached them with an idea for a dating show which would share revenue between the two parties.

Apparently persistent Brandon flew down to Silicon Valley from New Yorkin April in the hope of getting directly in front of the people who matter at YouTube’s HQ.
He even created his own blog Can YouTube Hear Me? in an attempt to get their attention – someone did!
The dating show will no doubt include videos of desperate singles… but at the moment it’s difficult to tell what exactly the format is.

At Datexpectations.com like to find out about and report back to you about niche dating sites, and just recently I found possibly the most niche site EVER on the web, DailyDaipers.com.

Advertised as a ‘FREE community for Adult Babies, Diaper Lovers, Big Kids, Mommies and Daddies’ this site has to win the award for originality!
Drilling down into the site you can find reviews on diaper brands, chat rooms, thousands of photos, advice columns, personal ads and message boards. There’s even video of one particular male member wetting his nappy – whatever turns you on I guess!
With 4,234 nappy wearing members, there really is a market for everything!

Founded by a being called ‘Koda’, Astro-Dating.com is one of those sites you are told about and have to see it to believe it!

Like most dating sites you can search by overall compatibility, friendship, romance, sex or money, and according to the site, members are listed in order of their astrological compatibility. SO, it goes for the scientific approach of finding someone suitable through a score system named The Astro-Grid® (patent pending).
Click a score and a personalised astrological interpretation appears describing the area of compatibility being compared. Another button lets you print out an 8-12 page, personalized compatibility report between yourself and any other member.
So what do you get for joining Koda and his gang:
• Details on compatibility with celebrities
• 12 page compatibility reports
• Chat rooms with ‘private windows’
• Astro-Mail
• Community get togethers (probably held somewhere around Waco)
Membership is free up until December 2010 … bonus, but you will probably need to go through some sort of ceremony with a goat!
