This isn't how it works - it connects with Facebook so it can filter out your Facebook friends - the whole idea is that only new people who you don't know can see that you're single and looking to connect.

This app connects to my facebook to check my friends and stuff, then I tell this app the stuff I am into sexually and romantically, and then it connects me to others on facebook who have the same interests, I get that. But the simple fact is, well, keep my romantic life out of my social life.

If I want my romantic life and social life to intermix that will be my decision, not that of some webapp. There is a reason Dating Sites exist separated from Social Sites, and it is not because no one has thought of the idea before.

Personal Preference: Ne'er the twain shall meet.

Just to be clear, it is a good idea, but I personally would not trust that small a level of separation between social and romantic life. There may be a market in it, I am not a member of that demographic.

Except mutual friends see that you're now connected? I don't want Facebook touching my dating life, ever.
