A dating system is any systemic means of improving matchmaking via rules or technology. It is a specialized meeting system where the objective of the meeting, be it live or phone or chat based, is to go on a live
date with someone, with usually romantic implications. Recently, "couple-dating" and "friend-dating" systems have also become
popular, especially among those who met on dating systems and enjoy the interactions, but have settled down with mates.
The history of dating systems is as interesting as the history of technologies that support them. Live dating systems or
methods are usually not considered as separate from the matchmaking process,
which often employs games or rules or rituals in many cultures, so these are discussed in more depth in that article.
