Would it be beneficial to have a form for each Mingler to complete following a first date/meeting? Maybe including questions like (1)Do you think the meeting was a success? (2)Would you like to see this person again in the near future? (3)If yes, what were the things you liked about the person? (4)If not, could you say why, such as not enough in common, too much family, lives too far away, not as represented on Mingle2,etc.

Gee....applications first, with progress reports later. I thought we were OUT of high school.

Will there be detention for any unfavorable reports?
Was that the pooch that was bullied off the field?

First off Mr_Music, that kind of behavior still happens every day in the work place. Its called an evaluation report. A lot of folks depend on a good evaluation to get the pay raises they deserve.

Secondly, OP, there are other sites that provide that type of service, but they are paid sites.

Third, I personally think with the policy that is in place here, where you not alowed to put down or slam another member, that type of idea would defete the policies of this community.

First off, justme659, I'm largely self-employed. I set my own rates. Secondly, the other job I have that I file a W-2 with has pay raises that are so infrequent, it doesn't matter.

My point being is that type of behavior doesn't just happen only in high school anymore.

Kudos on being largely self-employed.

But we're not talking about employment, although with the way "dating" has become in this day and age, it might just as well be. First, you have to meet the criteria and be properly qualified. Everything is questioned and over-analyzed. Now, somebody is suggestion progress reports if they supposedly hit it off?

What ever happened to the days where when a guy and a girl liked each other and they came together -- WHAM!! -- like a couple of taxis on Broadway? Once it was, see somebody, get excited, get married. Now it's, read a lot of books, fence with a lot of four syllable words and psychoanalyze each other until you can't tell the difference between a petting party and a civil service exam.

A 'Date Evaluation Report' is a little too '1984' for me. be seeing you

A date evaluation report seems weird to me

What if the reporter lies on the report

I don't know about this....

It does seem really "big brother"

What happened to those days? They went the way that the dinosaurs did. Just like trust and honesty. Too many folks have been hurt and abused to just be able to meet like a couple of taxis in New York. Remember, when you were a first time dater, like most you had no fear. You (and tons of other young people, myself included) were willing to --WHAM-- with no thought of concequences. Today, in this society there are many more incureable stds to worry about and the Wackos are abound. The concequences are fore front in our minds.

And just for the record, I wouldn't mind saving myself a few horrid dates if I could hear from someone else, their experiences with another member.

I just don't see it happening on mingle with the policies they have in place at this time.

Just my humble opinion.

Do you fill out a report when you meet someone somewhere else and submit it?

No, you don't.

Dear Kroger's Grocery Stores:

I met this man in the frozen food section about a month ago, and then again a week ago. He asked me to met him for coffee. He is tall, good looking and pleasant to talk to. However there was no real chemistry.
By the way, the cooked roast beef a $3.99 a lb was a real good deal, and it was delicious.


OK, some people do.

Thanks for the suggestion, Katzenschnauzer, I'm not sure this could be implemented, but the idea could be useful in other ways.


Guys, as far as feedback, let's please keep the sarcasm out of the replies. I love sarcasm as much as anyone, but the help and feedback forums are not the place for it. If you have an opinion, that's great, and we appreciate it, but please voice those opinions respectfully.

Thanks,
Mark

I'm afraid I was misunderstood when I presented my idea. I don't have the whole concept perfected and thought maybe someone would be willing to put their ideas out there in a positive way. After a first meeting sometimes one of the parties thinks the meeting was a success (mostly due to the other party leading the other to think it was) while the other party thought it bombed but doesn't want to be up front about it.
I was not thinking it would be a mandatory questionaire but rather a "How Did It Go?" for each party to fill out for just that couple to read. Like when you go to a restaurant or have your car repaired. "Were you treated well?" "Would you go again?" and so on.

Actually, if this was a big cost dating site, with pre-selected 'matches' based on 475 point of interests and compatibility, I would say it would be an excellent idea as the Site needs to know how well they are doing in finding matches for you. As it is it's kind of a lassie fair style of choosing who you go out with. There are sites where you can find out about internet dates. Try googleing "don't date this guy/gal" .

I'm not willing to completely rule your idea out, Katzenschnauzer. We do rely on our members for feedback. For it to mean much, though, we probably would have to make Mutual Match smarter (as michiganman3 notes). Thanks for the post.

Thank YOU for a civil response. One would think I suggested sticky name tags or a dress code judging from the answers I got from some. Geesh.

Don't you think this is completely private ?.
