Doubtful. Email and social graph correlation is usually how sites monetize to keep it "free" and survive.
But HOW? All she knows is my first name and suburb, and I have a very common first name.
With a more complex search perhaps?

Facebook parses and actually works with queries such as "single [gender] friends of friends of friends who live in [X] and like [Y]".

If images used on the dating site also appear on Facebook then Google Images can do the rest...
