It is highly important for drupal to get on this territory before any other cms does.

It can already be done using the modules available.

in perticular, usernode, CRE (COntent Reccomendation Engine), buddylist, private messaging module, CCK, views, and the core profile module. incorporate a custom profile page and you have a drupal dating site.

Thank you very much. It would be very helpful if you could direct me to a drupal dating site.

I don't know that anyone has listed a drupal dating site to be able to direct you to a Drupal based dating site. Take a look in the Drupal Showcase forum. For the types of sites that have already been created.

I was just pointing out that a single module specifically written to turn Drupal into a dating site, would not be necessary to begin developing a Drupal based dating site. With the plethora of modules already availble, one could already develop this type of site.

What a dating site may involve, tweaking some of the modules already available to behave (function) the way you invision them to function.

Hi,

I am making a tutorial on how to set up a full feature dating/community website on http://dorax.naturalp.org/?q=node/6
I had been struggling for a while and the Drupal forum does not give much solution for specific problems such as user search. So I decided to integrate what I have found out in a readable form.

If you have any feature requests, please let me know.

Greetings,

For those who wonder how to make a dating site, you may be interested by this example :
Site de rencontre
This site was made using Drupal 6.
Some forms have been customized using theming. For example, you can rearrange fields provided by forms using HTML. But for a few modules, the fields are to be processed before you can display them differently.
It is hard, but is feasible.
