How to Get a Date on Facebook

how to get a date facebook twitter online dating single

Yesterday, a tweet from John Erik Metcalf got me thinking.

I have experimented with Facebook Pages and carried out very targeted ad campaigns using the richness of profiles, to focus on very niche demographics. If you have not used Facebook before as an advertising platform, it’s worth a look, even if only for its user interface. As you add new variables, you can see the total number of users you can target. Someone could theoretically create a niche campaign focused on women, living in San Francisco, ages 25-30, making over $50,000 who are single…

Yes! Someone (albeit someone with balls) could create a Facebook Page and a campaign to help themselves score a date. Think a ‘mini Match.com profile’, complete with picture, targeted at single women or men fitting the demographic profile of whomever they are seeking to date.

The first person who does this likely will get crazy press – and maybe a date :)

  • you're right on. i'm pretty sure it would work beautifully. i really hope someone does this - not gonna be me though.
  • Agreed. I'm too ugly to pull it off...I have someone in mind however...

    That is just a terrific post. It actually sounds like a worthwhile investment and would definately be a great form of buzz marketing!
  • Yes...can't wait for someone to try it!
  • Facebook pages are where the real actions at with Facebook marketing. Especially since there's a 5000 friend cutoff. Although in this example I guess 5000 would make you the ultimate pimp.

    So who's gonn try this and report back?
  • Yes, you're right, Facebook could be used for that kind of purpose, so its not just a social networking but more.
  • facebook is a good place to meet friends...i have gotten some good experience from facebook
  • Social networking at its best eh? hehe
  • This is a great idea for a reality show. I am sure there would be a lot of buzz. I know people are always on facebook and myspace trying to meet people to date. Are there any success stories? I’m just wondering if there is some “marriage material” people on facebook. The person that tries this experiment has to be serious about starting a relationship with a woman.
  • Facebook dating is fun but why not join a real dating site?

    I have a facebook but never get around to using it much. I am going to check it a little more closely though. Check to see the dating application of FB.

    I read this article a while back and saw this on Reddit. I'm not sure if this is exactly what you had in mind but it's close...

    I have been toying with the idea of actually putting some ads up for my website. It is however a very good place to meet new people. I will have to try that advanced search trick
