Flirt online: Web 2.0 for women
Mobile-Web service I'm In Like With You may well be a new Internet sensation. This is a dating service, but not an ordinary one. To meet a girl, a man must go through a number of online and offline puzzles, which she arranges for him.
The highlight is: if the majority of online services tend to simplify and automate the acquaintance (male logic), here, on the contrary, it is surrounded by additional conditions and difficulties, enjoying the process itself. That is what women who love to flirt do.
An innovative service has been run in for six months within the walls of the well-known Y Combinator incubator, and only now, after being placed on the Amazon EC2 and S3 platform, is available for public testing.

I'm In Like With You - a game built around flirting. Each participant has a certain number of points, which can be earned if you publish original content on the site, attract friends and just visit the site every day. These points are local flirting currency, then they will be needed to participate in auctions for the right to meet a girl.
The social network of participants is divided by barriers. To overcome the barrier and establish direct contact with the girl, you need to solve the problem that she proposed. For a girl who, during the whole game, maintains complete anonymity, overcoming the barrier by the challenger is a guarantee that the person really wants to make contact with her, that she really likes him. The more obstacles he overcomes - the more evidence of this.
However, only the most persistent gets the right to start the game. If several candidates want to meet one girl, she arranges an eBay-style auction for the right to take the test. During the auction, the beauty can encourage the participants who are the most attractive to her. On the course of trading and the appearance of new participants, she instantly receives a message on a mobile phone.
Each flirting game lasts from several hours to several days. The winner receives the main prize, and the losers lose part of the points with which they entered the game (the latter function has not yet been implemented, but in the future it will probably be so with the ability to restore the spectacle balance from a credit card).
All communications are carried out by IM and mobile phone. The girl receives a temporary phone number without giving out the real one.
