I have a site idea I'm working on that I think can disrupt online dating. Current online dating sites don't solve a problem. Even OkCupid which perfected the current implementation of dating sites only provides what are essentially just profiles.
My idea uses a more social approach, have people tag those they're already interested in (friends or acquaintances) and notify both parties if and only if there is a mutual interest (both groups tag each other), otherwise wait.
This method is 'rejection free' and solves many of the problems associated with dating in a way that incentives users to reveal their true interests.
I want to localize it to colleges only at first so there already exists a somewhat 'trusted' community. I think this idea solves a lot of the problems commonly associated with dating.
