VIDEO DATING (Match-makers) Good Idea or not ???	Can't Post

I have thought about starting a video-dating service where a man or woman would come in my office I would interview them for 2-3 minutes on video and then file their tape. They would be allowed to watch other tapes of prospective dates who have similar interests as they do and I would arrage a date with those who want to meet each other.
My question is there any of you who are currently in the video-dating business and if so... how's your business doing, r u making a profit, how much do you charge? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, js1435@aol.com

I would avoid this at all costs. One reason alone ... LIABILITY. I realize you can get people to sign waivers and realeases, but the fact is anyone can sue you for anything. And if you should get one idiot that goes beserk with someone they met through your service, your business is finsished anyway.
It's your call. Just think it through all the way.

The popularity of the online dating services would make this
a tougher business than it was a few years ago. I understand
that some of these services have over 1 million people in
their databases.
