New Twist on the Dating Scene

New York, NY--February 20, 2002 -- After one month's beta test, www.AUCTIONaDATE.com is officially launched. By judging from its name, you can only guess 10% right about what the site does. Yes, it has something to do with auction. Once you visit the site, you know the other 90% is all about dating plan. The service it provides is all about making dating simple, easy, real and fun!

Dating is not new, making a dating plan for a date is not new, to help you to make the dating plan may not be new, neither. But using auction to help you to make dating plan is definitely new. And it works! As we all know, contacting someone online is the easy part, but to set up a date to meet that person face to face is hard. Most of time, for one reason or another, your reason or the other person's reason, it's hard to make that dating plan. That's why AUCTIONaDATE.com focuses on the dating plan.

Why does it use auction to help you to make the dating plan then? Think about it, auction happens to have all the right ingredients to do the job: (1), (Like you describe your item in real auction) Auction is where you can tell everyone when you want to meet someone and what you like to do when going out on that date. (2), (Just as the highest bid wins the item in real auction) Auction allows you to get the best dating plan among all plans presented to you by those who meet your criteria and wish to go out with you on that date. (3) Naturally, the winning bid here becomes the "budget" for that date, since someone has to pay for dinner or movie tickets anyway. And bigger budget does mean better plan sometimes!

Now lets see what auction has done for you:

A person to go out with -- the person who meets your dating criteria, shares your interests and also makes the best dating plan (at for that date).

A plan -- the plan tells you time for the date, place to visit and activity to enjoy when going out on that date.

A budget: not only you know who will pay for the (first) date, you also know how much the budget is.

With help of auction and the plan it produced, you can cut right to the chase and get rid of al the guess games. You'll set up a date without constant discussions, changes or "nonsense." No more need to wonder about anything anymore. Unfortunately, guessing might be what you been doing when trying to set up a date and meet someone before. If that was true, your problem is now solved.

Best of all, this is a plan both of you prefer, agree to and are happy with. You know ahead of time the date will be smooth and enjoyable.    

AUCTIONaDATE.com is designed primarily for casual dates. But it is for you even if you are in pursuit of the true love or lifetime partner. Because, first, casual date is a low key, non-pressure way to start the serious relationship. Secondly, if you agree that sometimes finding that special someone is a number game, the more people you meet, the more chances you will have to find him/her, then with the help the dating plan made there, you sure can create a lot of chances.

Spent a long time in hope and expectation, but it only takes first few minutes to have that disappointment when you two finally meet? Here it won't happen to you, because the plan made for casual dates won't lead you to hope to expect, all those in your mind will be simple that casual date: going out, having fun and enjoying.

AUCTIONaDATE.com provides 7 different ways for you to have the dating plans and set up dates. Some of them are: You let someone who wants to go out with you make the plan (Date Auction). Or if you have a plan, you can find someone to enjoy what you have planed and also share the cost with you (Dating Plan Auction). Or you can use some of "ready-to-use" dating plans AUCTIONaDATE.com has made for you. AUCTIONaDATE.com will arrange some interesting activities such as Dinner For Two or two tickets to a hit show, you can choose ones you like as your auction as a way to find someone to enjoy these activities with you.

There is even a way for you to make a group dating plan, posted on the site, looking for those who are interested in participating in the group date.

The differences between other online dating services and AUCTIONaDATE.com are clear:

1. We are real and practical. With other "dating" sites, you are only provided with members' profiles to write to, not with tailor-made dating plans for the real date. AUCTIOnaDATE.com's approach is more effective, practical and exciting. It helps you to MEET people IN PERSON, not just help you to email them online or "meet" them in chatrooms.

2. We all know that the spending money is what everyone needs when going out since food and entertainment do cost money, but there is no way for you to set aside a "budget" in other sites while auctions do produce one for you out of its nature.    
    
3. Each of our auction/Ad counts. People behind each auctions/Ads want to meet someone tomorrow evening or this Sunday afternoon. They are not those who only want to talk to you online. They are not those who created the profiles last year and never came back ever since. They are not those who are on other part of the planet and only want to be your penpals or to have a long distance relationship with.

4. We create more fun! At AUCTIONaDATE.com, there's a myriad of details involving who, what, where and when of the person and activity.

As an observer, you'll know how many people like to invite that one person out. You'll know "how much" someone is ready to spend to make the date perfect.

As a person who post an auction, you'll see others compete for your attention. You'll know what kind plans they have mind and how eagerly they want to make you happy.

As a bidder, you'll be in the race and competition. You must be witty, resourceful, a good sport and- you must definitely be yourself! Grabbing his/her attention, and eventually meet that person. And almost nothing beats feeling like a winner.    

To say the least, the auction concept is unique and interesting. Because it's unique and interesting, before it's launch, it had been granted a patent license by US Trademark and Patent Office and it also signed a contract with a literary agency for a possible TV show.

Additionally, there are also places where you can make a wish and post your wish on the web. Someone you don't even know might just fulfill that wish you.

Now it's about time to throw those "doesn't-do-you-any-good cyber dating" old routines into your recycle bin!

You may have spent a lot of time to look for that special person, but the service provided in this website might be what you need first!

AUCTIONaDATE.com: it's all about your weekly dating plan and sweeter weekends!
