Don't make another trendy AI-based dating service, people are sick of those. They only use them because they are forced to do so. First, figure out how to create a safe dating web site, ensure personal data security and don't collect anything you don't absolutely need, don't use too much telemetry and don't keep it for too long and especially don't use location-based telemetry, eliminate the bot problem which is inevitable, eliminate the problem of child predators which is inevitable, and things like that. The goal is to ensure that you only hold the data you require, and avoid any further data, since in a security breach user data is radioactive. Once you know how to do those things, just make a site where people can post a deep profile and search based on those profiles and perhaps have some sort of questions that help match people on a basic level with hobbies, values, etc. People will figure out how to find folks they might like to date and will take it from there. If you used Match back in ~2008 or so when it was profiles and dating questions, that's the goal. I met my wife there, and it was an alright experience. From stories I hear today, I would probably never date again!
